Hey /fit/, who is up for a challenge? Are you man enough to hyperventilate

Don't do this. You'll pass out, knock your head on the ground and suffer a concussion or worse - die.

It's not very healthy to have cold showers if you're not used to them, despite what broscientific blogs might tell you

>hot water heater broke
>buy a new one
>doesn't work
>getting the run around on replacement
>end up taking a few cold showers in that time

fuck all of that shit man, idgaf, you want to go get cold, jump into the fucking lake off the dock or some shit, I'm trying to get clean and comfortable

I don't wash my dishes with cold ass water, I sure don't wash my ass with it either.

Ok so is this just bullshit?
Because like >>41610721 said, I feel like fainting when doing the breathing excercises.

>>41610721
I shower at normal temperatures in the morning.

But after working out I use the cold shower at the gym that way your muscles cure much better. also after a good workout, your heartbeat should be high enough to not pass-out.

I'm not op

it: weak niggas

I only take cold showers, feels great and makes you feel like a god when you get out. it's not even hard once you get used to it. but if you enjoy being mediocre by all means keep taking nice, comfy showers

>they told me to go running
>but that's bullshit bc afterwards i felt awful like fainting

it is actually really motivational for some reason. i think it's because it always sounds like the worst thing in the world, but if you force yourself to do it you find out it's not that bad. like a small mental victory to start your day

>>41611182
Yeah but isn't that because your body needs more oxygen?
If you just start breathing really fast for no reason, isn't that bad for you?

I really don't know, I just dont wanna go head first into the shower and pass out on the floor.

>If you just start breathing really fast for no reason, isn't that bad for you?
the guy in OPs link would claim it's good for you. not sure there's any hard evidence to support it being good or bad. the idea that it helps your body attenuate it's stress response doesn't seem unreasonable though

My friend is a Physical therapist and has told me that cold showers and ice baths are a scam. They dont help muscles recovery, they slow they healing problems but help pain go away. Ultimately might be bad for gainz but good for painz

>>41610702
I just did this after my last workout and it feels great. I don't know why people are taking about passing out. I'm in a moderate climate in the summer and the water certainly isn't I ice cold.

>>41611364
what was his reasoning for saying they don't help recovery? anything that cranks up circulation should help recovery

How about dont be a sissy and just freshen up and get some mental toughness on the go.

Started taking ice baths a few weeks ago. Fill up with water, dump 4 bags in and sit for a good 10 minutes, your toes go numb and you start shaking near the end but you'll feel 120% when you wake up the next day

>>41611478
then shouldn't hot baths be more effective? Vasodilation would increase oxygen concentration

What if you are used to them? I've been having them everyday for the last few months and I've actually grown to like them.
