How silly are you all not optimizing your epigenetics? What makes white people white? A lack of sun and cold temperatures. The blue lit screen you're using whilst it's black outside causes a mismatch.

Cold showers daily. Love them. That plus a high meat diet = diesel.

I sleep with the window open, we're getting around -2°C at night these days. Also I dont ever heat up my room.

I've started taking cold showers. It really does make you feel better, but takes some endurance.

>The diving reflex, also known as the diving response and mammalian diving reflex is a response to immersion that overrides the basic homeostatic reflexes, which is found in all air-breathing vertebrates.[1][2] It optimizes respiration by preferentially distributing oxygen stores to the heart and brain which allows staying underwater for extended periods of time. It is exhibited strongly in aquatic mammals (seals,[3] otters, dolphins, muskrats),[4] but exists in other mammals, including humans, in particular babies up to 6 months old (see Infant swimming). Diving birds, such as penguins, have a similar diving reflex. It may be the evolutionary development of a more primitive response to hypoxia exhibited by fishes.[1] The diving reflex is triggered specifically by chilling the face and breath-hold.[1][5] The most noticeable effects are on the cardiovascular system, which displays peripheral vasoconstriction, slowed pulse rate, redirection of blood to the vital organs to conserve oxygen, release of red blood cells stored in the spleen, and, in humans, heart rhythm irregularities.[1]

I have a cold shower everytime I fap so I don't get the post-fap blues and as a sort of deterrent but I've begun preferring them to hot showers which just make me feel lethargic after

Alexanders father the hirsute soldier king Phillip II dismissed a mercenary captain for washing with warm water. It was seen as a effeminate way to wash.

havent caught the flu ever since i started wearing shorts+t-shirt during winter

I take cold showers for upwards of 15 minutes. It robs the body of heat much faster than air
Jason Barnes
This is bullshit. Men who take cold showers have high testosterone, because masculine men like challenges. Its a correlation, not causation. Any small acute effect is more than countered by the massive CORTISOL SPIKE you get from shocking your body. Cortisol is antagonistic toward testosterone production. Cold showers are fantastic for fat loss though. Cortisol and growth hormone are released, which mobilize fatty acids and glycogen to be burnt. The cold increases browning of adipose tissue (brown fat), which converts your fat into a heat-producing tissue which burns more calories every day.
If you want a truly anabolic experience, go to a sauna or steam room. The heat increases growth hormone without excessive cortisol, and activates heat-shock proteins which make your body's cells repair themselves better.
In terms of testosterone though, the absolute best temperature is room temperature for your testicles. That's why they have evolved to fucking hang or retract based on too warm or cold temperatures. So for instance sleeping with a thin duvet and with no boxers will do way more for your testicles than cold or hot shock.

But cold showers increase your cortisol levels?
Connor Peterson
Each time i get cold (shower, air con, outside air), i get common cold, flu, respiratory infextions, fever, etc...
wat do?
Jack Nelson
In the short term. It's optimized the cortisol cycle because of adaptation
Chase Wood
I used to do this to numb myself. Worked great for aches and pains. Has it's limits, but anyone with a shower can do it.
Bentley Walker
Oh, it's another one of these "Jew journalist invents testosterone-raising story and posts it on Sup Forums, then reports on his own post" threads.

I'll check it out, but please explain to me what unique mechanism of cold exposure raises testosterone levels? Genuinely curious if even a candidate exists. E.g. aromatase inhibition, SHBG related, etc.
I generally prefer cooler temperatures but I've found I have trouble waking up in the mornings if my bedroom is too cool. What do?

It's helped so damn much

Also when we have the fucking boiling hot summers with no wind, no AC its a killer. Bongs houses are utter shite since most are built pre-war or built to fit in with the old pre-war homes.
Brody Evans
Africans live in oven environments and they're alpha as fuck so I don't think it's related to the temperature, at least directly. I believe the shock & discomfort to the system of a quick temperature change and all of the hormonal & chemical reactions of the body to this are what causes an increase in testosterone.
Yes, a daily ice cold shower or two will give you a testosterone increase.
Standing for a long time in cold water on the other hand could be counter productive.
F.Lux is a good program for this
Anyway what is this obsession with raised testosterone on Sup Forums? Do you realise it's associated with baldness, significantly decreased life expectancy, and mental illness? Unless you're chugging hot drinks from plastic & eating a load of soy, you probably have nothing to worry about.

All of the most alpha people I've known in my personal life have never been to a gym, couldn't even spell testosterone, and know nothing about it. A few betas I've known regularly go to the gym and lift weights. As a conclusion to this, I believe how alpha & strong & energetic you are is related to a myriad of biochemical & genetic & environmental factors, rather than just one hormone.
Thomas Campbell
so we're drinking onion juice while laying in an ice bath now?
Evan Reed
This article confirms previous posts in this thread.
Yes because they're adapted to that. White people aren't in their natural light and temperature environments

I wash myself with warm water then slowly turn to cold and try to enjoy it for a few minutes. During winter it gets cold enough to cause redness on my skin.

MERCURY TABLETS are the true red pill. I take one a day and my testosterone has never been higher.
Chase Torres
I gotta agree with this. I never feel better than when I take a walk in the woods behind my house during winter, right after taking a big dump. It's like all my worries vanish, I feel invigorated and relaxed. It's amazing. I now take a walk after every time I poop.
If I remember correctly the trick with Wim Hof is that his breathing/meditation technique allows you to pump alot of extra oxygen-rich blood deep into your muscles, while also triggering a steady adrenaline release, thus giving you a basically superhuman level of physical/mental strength.

Makes sense, there's a reason powerlifters and martial artists shout before a competition. Even before steroids in the 19th century, strongmen would take amphetamines to amp up their nervous system for extra strength.

The body was built to undergo certain stresses. Those stresses release certain chemicals to counter them, which have all sort of benefits associated to them. As a modern man, we can control the stress conditions to make the body release those chemicals then remove the stress and retain the beneficial chemicals circulating through our bodies.
That's why things like controlled, sporadic fasting are good for you.
