>>42733702
There's like an entire army of shills on the internet devoted to slandering and lying about any self improvement technique that doesn't involve taking pills or paying in some way.

Do Nofap. Take cold showers. Eat clean. Meditate. Mew. Ignore naysayer posters. Do not reply to naysayer threads

Shoo shoo shills

I am a smart person and as far as I know, right after workout cold shover = bad, but any other time than that = good.

Workout induces a inflammation like state that helps the muscle recover faster, so instant cold shower hinders that process

When not right after workout, all the stress relieving benefits come into play and are beneficial.

I don't care if it's good or bad for me; I'm not taking cold showers, period.

You stupid niggers would shovel whey down your ass if someone told you it made you gain more than conventional eating

I feel better after cold showers. Especially in the summer because I don't have air conditioning.

Well technically fapping is gay because you're jacking off a guy

I'm not wrong

Philip II of Macedonia, Alexander the Greats father, once dismissed a mercenary commander for washing with warm water. His whole army and the army used by Alexander to conquer the known world washed with cold water.

Fapping increases libido.
Not fapping decreases libido.

Intentional nofap for "self improvement" is retarded.
What harms one's body and mind is porn.

Cold showers only build mental fortitude, but they have ZERO benefit for performance or recovery or body composition or hormonal balance or even health.

>>42735460
Acute marginal differences in testosterone DO NOT IN ANY WAY PRESENT ANY NOTICEABLE CHANGES IN MOOD OR HEALTH OR PERFORMANCE.

Anyone who claims otherwise is delusional.
You need MANY TIMES MORE TESTOSTERONE THAN YOU CAN EVER PRODUCE ON ANY GIVEN DAY, in order to notice any difference.

>>42736009
how come it doesnt help in recovery? ice is used to reduce infllamation

>>42733807
the fact that you have to tell us you are shows us you aren't.
besides, who should i listen to? successful athletes that take icebaths for recovery and have actually something to show for it or a dumbass mouthbreather neckbeard on a Nepal hamsterfarming chat room?

>>42736035
For normal men?
That's like claiming that doing a 5 minute calisthenics routine and going for a 20 minute walk everyday for a year would have no benefits.

It does. Claiming otherwise shows that you think in terms of immediate extreme benefits rather then long term boosts in quality of life.

Which means that your opinion means less then nothing.

>>42736091
>Which means that your opinion means less than nothing
As opposed to yours, you mean? Forgot to add that now didn't you?

That's also a really stupid comparison to what I just presented.
You literally cannot tell the difference in mood, performance or health if your testosterone dropped 10% or spiked 10% CHRONICALLY.

Would you be able to tell any difference by dropping or spiking your testosterone 10% for less than 48h of any given week?
If your answer to this is anything other than "no" you are sadly delusional.

>>42736043
Ice local exposure helps with pain.
Ice baths make your body's immune system weaker, make your muscles recover slower and there's a strong chance it might actually somewhat stunt hypertrophy due to how blood flow and digestion responds to extremely low temperature body exposure.

>>42736307
Your test drops and spikes like that DURING ONE SINGLE DAY YOU FAGGOT
An actual man can fucking tell something is off with his goddamned mood or if he's feeling different.
Do you lack that much self awareness or are you a woman or balless man who's here to shill for his lifestyle of heedless masturbation.

>>42736385
>Do you lack that much self awareness or are you a woman or balless man who's here to shill for his lifestyle of heedless masturbation.
Are you on your post 7 day test crash? Because I can't tell if I'm actually responding to someone with functioning testicles.

You cannot AT ALL use your mood EVER as reference to your hormone levels.
Guys who hop on more gear than you can ever dream of still experience episodes of depression and such.

Your hormones are always waving yes, all the more reason to not fall for this nofap bullshit of "potentially" benefiting from a "test spike" in some arbitary number of days or hours for an arbitary number of hours.

holy shit this reads like something out of a cult

>>42733702
Who cares, warm showers are bad as well, specially for your skin


Your ancestors were in cold all day long and still passed their genetics, if you are too of a pussy to take a cold shower there you go bro

>>42736050
>besides, who should i listen to? successful athletes that take icebaths for recovery and have actually something to show for it or a dumbass mouthbreather neckbeard on a Nepal hamsterfarming chat room?
most of those successful athletes need the cold bath and are already pumped full of cortisol because they've been playing a physical sport for 80-90 minutes.
you lifting some weights in the gym isnt the same

>>42736050
Ice baths are used to heal the aches and pains of contact sports or injuries, not after a lift. That being said Ice baths make you feel amazing after you get out
