/csg/ cold showers general

>>39268105
wouldn't that close up your pours and give you more acne?

>>39268118
Strangely the opposite is true.

I also shave in the shower and my skin is less irritated than normal

>>39268135
You shave with cold water?

>>39268154
Yeah, invigorating. The hairs stand straight up.

How do u transition from lovely warm welcoming hot showers to the shocking horrifying insanity of cold showers. Wouldn't mind becoming 2% more alpha by trying it.

>>39268336
Start off with a shower that's lukewarm, uncomfortably cool. As you wash just keep lowering the temp slightly. By the time you get out it's ice cold. The next time, start a little colder, and so on.
Alternatively:
>turn on ice cold water
>grab showerhead and pull yourself under it
>scream for 2 seconds but embrace it

masochism is the true path to alpha male status.

>tfw i have to take freezing cold showers or else i get hives

>>39268105

how cold is cold enough?

i mean is 17c cold?
is 20c cold?

or does it need to be closer to 0c?

Is this the new bioscience fad?

>>39268118
It's best to start hot in a shower to open your pours and clean, then finish cold to close them.

I have a warm shower and use a body moisturiser afterwards.....cleared up any spots or acne on my back. Then I have a proper warm, 3 pass shave using a double edge razor and decent shaving soap. I use an alum block where I shaved and quickly wipe a toner over my face. I splash with cold water too close my pores before using aftershave on my beard area and a lemongrass and Camillia moisturiser on by nose, forehead and neck. Finally I use a dab of post shave balm on my beard area.


Why you guys try to torture yourselves is beyond me......next you'll be abandoning sleeping on beds and sleeping on the floor instead.

true alphas are sadists

only cucks are masochists

>>39268569
if you only love the pain of pushing yourself, you get good at everything you do over time. If you only love hurting others, then you become a sociopath. Perhaps it is all of the first and none of the second, or all of the first and some of the second, but you need masochism to be good enough to stand out.

This is one of the dumbest troll/memes on /fit/, right up there with nofap, and not using soap or shampoo.

If you fall for this: Enjoy your SINUSITIS and potentially PNEUMONIA.

Know why it's called a 'cold'? Because there are virii that thrive in temperatures below normal body temperature. Your sinuses are generally warm enough that they don't survive, but if you catch a chill (from, say, SHOWERING IN COLD WATER IN THE FALL AND WINTER) you run a much higher risk of getting infected by the virus. Enjoy your NO GAINS when you're sick and can't go to the gym!

Also lowering your body temperature with a cold shower puts a strain on your immune system, which can open the door to other infections -- like PNEUMONIA.

There's a REASON we seek warmth and not cold: SURVIVAL.

Really, seriously, honestly, you guys are smart enough not to fall for this dumb shit, right?

Applying cold to injured or sore muscles selectively can be therapeutic, and short cold soaks after really hard workouts can speed recovery, but not every day!

>>39268768
Alternatively- what about flashing cold at the end of your shower?

>>39268768
Dumbest fucking post I've ever read. Provide sources or shut the fuck up.

>>39268780
Whatever gets you off I guess, but it won't do anything for you.

>>39268782
I don't have to 'provide sources' for well-known facts anyone can google, and for common sense. Stop posting retarded trolling, faggot. It's not even funny, it's just pathetic and you're making a fool of yourself.

>>39268793
>YOU'LL GET SINUSITUS AND PNEUMONIA IF YOU DO COLD SHOWERS
>but im the one trolling
Just as I thought, you're a retard with nothing to offer. Fuck off with your fear-mongering you know-nothing sack of shit.

She has the body/skin of a heroin junkie. I'm gonna do whatever the opposite is of anything she suggests.

>implying pores open and close with water temperature

>>39268793
I can post sources proving you wrong if you want, "warm" is fucking optimal for any number of contaminants...its why we put food in a refrigerator, not a fucking warmerator.

>>39268917
>warmerator
Do you mean like an oven, anon?

I only have them in our unbearably hot summers

in winter I'll just end my morning shower with a minute or two of cold blast to wake me up

>>39268351
This didn't work for me. Just jumping in right a head to a what feels like a sub zero shower works better for me. Just do it. When you are under the cold stream only the first few seconds feel like a demon is trying to possess your body. After that you just feel alpha as fuck. The best feeling tho, is after you get out. The whole body feels tingly and alive.

>>39268105
love this board idea

>>39268768
What about people bathing themselves before hot/warm water was accessible? Did everyone die from pneumonia. There are tons of proof and sources that indicate that cold showers are good for you, especially men. Do your research before posting, faggot.
OR even better, continue to watch porn, jerk off like the little cuck that you are, enjoy your hot steamy showers and hang yourself.

>>39269092
no
I can't think of any type of warm equivalent to a refrigerator. other than a restaurant hot line which is meant for VERY short term food storage.

Sorry but I like mirin my veins in the hot/warm water.

>>39268793
The Scandinavian practice of immersing children in freezing water is proven to reduce colds and minor ailments. Stop talking based off "common sense" when you're actually just ranting with no basis for an opinion.

>>39269160
>What about people bathing themselves before hot/warm water was accessible?

You mean those times when people died more frequently of conditions like pneumonia?

>There are tons of proof and sources that indicate that cold showers are good for you

Then you shouldn't have any trouble posting them, which you seem to have avoided

>>39268482
you've got to be kidding me
are you fucking serious with this routine? how long do you spend in the bathroom every morning?
i can't afford more than 15-20 minutes in the bathroom in the morning and that has to be enough for shitting, showering, brushing teeth, shaving and hair

And you seem to have done exactly the same in reeling off a load of uncited claims in your original post.

>inflicting discomfort on yourself claiming it makes you more manly

Welcome to /fit/

>>39268105
What about right after workouts? Does it affect recovery times and can be detrimental to one's overall health?

Serious question.

>>39268782
>what is medicine
not the same anon but seriously. google up
you ever wonder why people get sick much easier in winter? what he mentioned are since facts and you calling the post stupid without bothering to research any of the claims just outs you either a troll or a child

>>39268105
I have been doing it for a week now with a break over the weekend.
My skin has cleared up but the main reason I tried it is to help me sleep.
Also I get very mild blue days often, its supposed to help with that.
Basically just step under it freezing cold and gasp for a minute. I find it helps if your head is the first thing to get hit.

>>39268482
I thought the /fit/ is gay meme was overblown, Yet here you are
