I regularly take an ice bath after my workout because otherwise I would keep sweating for hours. After I stay 12 minutes in my ice bath, my sored muscles don't hurt anywhere and I don't sweat anymore. It is as well my little meditation time and focus on my deep breathing. But I don't never do hot and cold, hot and cold!☺
I think the only thing ice/cold does and contrast is vasodilation. I have been doing it for years. But there is also a psychological challenge to resist "panic" and this should not be done soon after training. If you train in the morning, do it in the afternoon. If you train in the afternoon, you can do cold plunge in the morning. WIM Hof breathing is also an important part of it.
@@rodgerbroome it doesn’t. Anything besides eat/sleep/roids that lowers soreness lowers adaptation. If you want to recovery to work your manual labor job fine, otherwise it’s bad for traininf
The only reason I condition myself to the discomfort of cold showers is for when the UK Government cut of the electricity OR put me in the Gulag. . . . not sure which will come first.
33 degree water in TX? Well water in upstate NY runs about 45, plenty cold enough for me when i choose to subject myself. I know it is a stress by the way i suppress my desire to hop around and scream like a little bitch everytime i get back into it.
From what I have gathered after listening to many pod casts is that cold plunges after a hypertrophy work out help reduce inflamation, which is your body's natural response to help in the recovery process. In other words, you are not helping your body achieve the full benefits of your work out. If this is correct, then so is Rip!

@@Jtking3000 ''Active recovery'' is a metaphor in the very small world of elite sports, turned oxymoron in the world of enthusiasts. It means ''going through the motions, covering tehnical or tactical aspects, on an off day, despite the interfearance with the energetical aspect of recovery, because, as elite athletes, we can and it's worth it''. For your typical 3-hour marathon runner, recreational tennis player or hobbyist lifter that speaks of ''active recovery'' it could only mean ''slower recovery''.
"air of superiority from doing something hard"...... as opposed to the chemically induced "air of superiority" that comes from pumping yourself full of TRT? At least one can potentially help someone build some character guys.....

Bro don’t do cold bath after workout, it hinders muscle growth
Always do it 3-4 hours before

It also reduces soreness which is bad for adaptation
@@soonahero timing matters. Soreness (inflammation) needs to happen initially, but later induces parasympathetic response and further healing.

What cold does is vasoconstriction. Terrible extremity constriction.
The Wim Hof thing. There is a benefit to it. It is a shortcut to learning to handle your own stress response. Beyond that? I don't know.
Like when I asked Rip about saunas.... if it feels good, do it....
Like a B J.... 😂
If it feels good, do it. I've been doing cold morning showers for more than 13 years.
But I don't expected anything from them than feel energized.
There are massive benefits to cold water therapy and also the sauna. Literally loads…
Yeah, but this is the same ignorant shit they spout sometimes about being obese is healthy.
@@pinksupremacy6076 these dudes are best with strength training tho.

When starting strength talks about bodybuilding and strength training their spot on. everything else they say is BS. Yes Ice baths are BS.
So you're saying the SS is spot on about bodybuilding, strength training AND ice baths. Rip must be thrilled to hear this!
It is a stress, so there should be adaptation?
Ice baths all summer, sauna all winter 🥶🥶
They’re putting Tucker in an ice bath
Nothing goes with an ice bath like a nice estrogen boosting bud light!

People like overcomplicating stuff and then making excuses for it afterwards.
Nice headlights there RIP

There's a lot of subjects about this ice bath magic, and there's one particularly use, and is the longevity... What do you think about that?
A good hangover therapy maybe.
"not enough time to affect anabolism in the tissues"............ ok, so explain my "pitched tent" then, Mark....
Are man buns magic? ( guy in the picture on the website)
I couldn't care less if ice baths are better that testosterone. I wouldn't even entertain the idea.
Inflammation. That's about it.
They're magic for the people who make and sell them.
What if the penis shrinkage becomes permanent?
It's about doing the ice bath and then working out. That will apparently cause a huge increase in testosterone. 🤷
Teeeeeedays
tha fuck? rip is a deadwood fan? HANG DAI?
🔥🔥
No point in cold exposure unless theres a specific need, if your sport or work for example requires you to be resistant towards cold temperatures.
Well, it helps with my anxiety when I combine it with like 5 rounds of the Wim hof breathing exercises. I'm not sure why, but it works.
I'd love to see Rip on the Rogan show
Rogan is a moron
Rogan called during the show a few years back but RIP silenced the phone. 😢
It's another gimmick to take away from doing actual active recovery work.
Do you mean like eating, sleeping, and resting?
@@javi8129 That's passive, but that too.
What's active recovery?

Lol, you real simple boy
Confidence or “air of superiority” is at least 50% of reason people take TRT, so you might actually be the simple one, jack
all i know is cold showers shut my mind the fuck up.
You should try jiu jitsu
