>>39579014
I tried some and felt good after
It made my skin less dry too

yfw only taking (really) cold showers might have negative effects on training.
Why not just go for normal temperature and finishing off with cold?

Definitely don't want it to impair my fitness.

>>39579014
In the hot summer I like a cold one now and then, but in December, I dunno man. Sounds harrowing.

It doesn't. Cold showers improve muscle recovery.

Cold showers, and I mean raw, freezing none of this half-way chicken shit, immediately after training, or better after cardio will result in an endorphin rush + euphoria that lasts for several hours. It's like opiate high except earned

I take contrast showers. So basically I do a minute of really hot water, as much as I can take, then switch to cold. And I cycle through that. I think it's the best of both worlds

Sounds like the kind of pseudo-scientific shortcut a woman would try.

Ok all those bullshit benefits aside, it does feel great after you take a cold shower.

But Im too pussy to do it these days, especially in winter. How do you get past that awful feeling when you step into said cold shower and can't breathe cos it's so fucking cold?

OP is right though. Taking cold ass showers is manly as fuck. Its better for your skin, releases endorphins, and if you can get through it, feels fucking great.

Dont get me wrong, I enjoy my warm cozy showers, mostly in winter. Taking cold showers takes a good amount of willpower, which is kinda the point. Just like working out, it isnt easy and not everyone will do it.

>cold showers is the right thing to do.

Can a cold shower do me harm in any way? Like a heart attack or anything?

OP is the true pussy. The real manly way is too enjoy a steaming hot shower so hot it is nearly uncomfortable, then scrub and cleanse yourself to make the skin raw and extra sensitive to the heat. Then you twist that fucker right around and unleash ice cold water just when you're raw and adjusted to scalding hot. To not only endure, but even enjoy such a routine is the mark of someone who has mastered himself. OP is just a pussy pretender.

Isn't it beneficial to have warm shower after training so the increased blood flow delivers nutrients to your muscles?

I live on the Oregon coast. Sometimes I'll run to the beach before the sun comes up and lay down in the surf, then run home. It's autistic as fuck, but it's somewhat of a ritual. I call it "praying to the salt goddess".

If you're going to do this (and you really should) you can eliminate the discomfort of the cold by using the Wim Hof Method:

I did wim hof method for about 3 weeks before I got bored of it. In that time I got used to cold showers.

I've been doing cold showers for about 2 months now and I added nofap to the mix about a week and a half ago.

I get an odd sense of triumph every time I exit the shower, and lately I've had a lot of discipline. I keep cleaning the fuck out of the house, I got a job, and it seems like the social roles between me and my roommate flip-flopped where I'm now calling the shots and he seems weird.

Hot water knob? Haven't touched it in months. I'm actually currently going through the process of having it uninstalled from my plumbing, they should be coming out sometime next week. I had to list a reason(s) on the work order as to why I am requesting my hot water knob to be removed and discarded. Would you can to hear the reasons? Well stay tuned friend. 2 reasons:

>1. Discipline
>2. Mental toughness

My property manager was initially questioning my reasons, but I explained to her that by taking cold showers I am actually able to develop discipline and mental toughness. After a long and heated (note that I needn't anything heated, especially my water) debate, I was able to convince her to put the work order in. Now I'm living a great life, warm water free. I even started forcing my gf to take cold showers with me. I refuse to date an inferior female, and I explained to her that if she can't learn to accept and love cold showers as I have then we really have no business being together anyways.

>>39581004
It takes more discipline to leave the hot knob on and not touch it IMO

>>39579569

>>39581011
this >>39581004
its like a former alcoholic keeping a bottle of whiskey in his house, but never touching it, just to prove that he doesnt need it.

Yo, I've been taking cold showers for three months now and I haven't seen as many of the benefits that op claims.
I've definitely see that I've developed shinier hair. Also, I definitely shoot out more cum and I have MUCH stronger orgasms, but I don't know if that's the cold showers or something else.

I drink cold water

I took my cold leap in 2014 once a boiler broke and I had to shower with cold water until a replacement heater got delivered for about a week. Just kinda got used to cold showers by then.
But than I got a gains goblin gf.
She showers with close to boiling water. But damn it, I can't keep my hands off her, especially when she's all soapy and wet. So i got used to the pussy boiling hot water for a while. Now I'm on the long road to the icy mountains of cold showers again.

>>39579090
I just heard a podcast with danish scientist talking about different studies done about the effects of cold showering, and this was a football team that had to take cold showers, where their performance actually fell because of the extremely cold showers they always had to take.
I mean, cold showers are but no need to make the strictest thing ever.
The gains you're gonna make from doing it is probably extremely low lol.

Whats the temperature of cold water from the tap in your country?

t. Guy who goes to steam room and then screams in cold shower.

Okay I just bit the bullet. Was gonna last night but didn't really feel like a shower in general.

I got myself used to it by just putting my legs wet first, then just went for it. For a few seconds, then it became too much.

Then I went in again and withstood it better. Got the guts to turn around and get cold water on my back. Fuck, it was jarring but again I got used to it.

Then I grabbed the shower head and just doused myself all over.

It felt so good to get out of it afterwards - the house feels like a furnace now, by comparison. That's the best part actually.

you and all the other retards ITT, especially you >>39579569, enjoy your death.

>In humans, cold shock response is perhaps the most common cause of death from immersion in very cold water,[1] such as by falling through thin ice. The immediate shock of the cold causes involuntary inhalation, which if underwater can result in drowning. The cold water can also cause heart attack due to vasoconstriction;[2] the heart has to work harder to pump the same volume of blood throughout the body. For people with heart disease, this additional workload can cause the heart to go into arrest. Inhalation of water (and thus drowning) may result from hyperventilation.

Was about to say this. Psychological benefits aside, hot water is better for cleaning, thats why we wash clothes in hot water and it also opens pores, helps get rid of dead skin cells, and dirt. Once you switch to cold water you get those benefits too. Not only is it the best of both world's but since the water will feel even older when you switch, it's more manly than jumping in just cold.
