Housemates just decided to change our hot water from electricity to gas and now I don't have hot water for 5 days. Explain to me why I should be taking cold showers and how this is going to benefit me over the usual hot showers that I have.

If there's enough benefit to having cold showers I might just give up hot showers all together after the next 5 days

It increases your immune function, it makes you feel great after, increases arterial function. There are studies out there proving the 1st claim and the 3rd is basic physiology. After taking cold showers every day I never get sick (100% srs).
You honestly feel so much better after them as well, its hard to describe, the first part of the cold shower sucks but after that it is fantastic.

Here you go sempai. I usually start out hot then halfway through I turn it to cold.

Cold showers inhibit anabolic function. Essentially they kill your gains. If you are particularly emasculated you might feel a bit more manly after a cold shower, so it depends on what's more important to you.

My gym is tiny and has no showers so I can't shower there.

I was just reading about cold water dampening inflammation of the muscles, so I guess it's better for athletes due to them focusing on recovery after workouts.
Cold showers before and hot showers after wokrout?
Hello! *tips dominantly* I am a gentlesir who takes cold showers every morning to boost my testosterone. Ever since I started ice cold showers the females of our race have been looking at me more and more. I have become 'hot' unlike my shower. We need cold showers to become more dominant and reclaim the white race from sjws and feminists. I believe I am 5 or so cold showers away from achieving chad enlightenment.
