>Your European ancestors survived the harshest of ice ages and European winters often with no fire, limited clothing and limited shelter and certainly with no 24/7 heating.
I take a cold shower after I throw around the kettlebells. I absolutely believe, from my experience, it decreases recovery time. I don't know about increasing testosterone, or decreasing cortisol, but I think cold showering is definitely a worthwhile endeavor.

Training in the cold or wearing a cold suit can actually help burn more stubborn bodyfat and it has been shown to have similar effects to steroids

I did this once for a nagging back injury. I did the ice bath and sat in it for 10 mins, it's fucking torture at first but then the endorphins kick in. All your blood flows towards the inside of your body, so when you get out it comes rushing back and your circulation goes up big time, hence why it promotes healing.
But that rush is orgasmic, it's like a high. I did it a few times for a week and my back healed up nicely.
Luke Thompson
Yeah man. I do it every day for the endorphins. Why the fuck not
Carter Nguyen
It's weird, the first time, it's like you were drained of all your blood by a vampire and it's all being slowly pumped in.

>kettlebells and cold showers Is this bait?
Christopher Turner
Let me tell you this. Cold is fucking shit.
Where I live it gets really cold, really wet and really dark during winter, and the house I live in is old as fuck and poorly insulated. Some days I wake up and my bedroom is below freezing. All through the day I have to wrap up or risk freezing to death. Our ground floor is tiled and if you stand on it barefoot you risk frostbite. Don't even get me started on getting out of a shower, it's fucking torture.
My house is so old and shitty sometimes I jokingly tell people it's actually warmer outside.
I do not feel manly, I do not enjoy this, it's fucking miserable and I fucking hate having cold feet for 4-5 months of the year (and I hate wearing socks/shoes inside the house).
Fuck the cold.

There was a study where guys immersed their arm in cold water after training and their gains were a lot smaller than the guys' who didn't. You need to have the stress present for some time for it to stimulate a response, and cold lessens the stress and thus the adaptation too.
Jason Campbell
hmm.. that sounds like a bad situation to be constantly in. I was referring to the showers/baths lasting from 2-30 minutes, not all day.

Cold showers and masturbating to the imagination work my boys

>Cold exposure decreases cortisol.
This is the opposite of what i've been lead to believe.

after a few days you’ll enjoy the feel of your own erect penis. no imagination necessary

>Cold exposure increases testosterone. There's no proof of that.

I was just reading about Wim Hof again and starting the method again tomorrow. Good stuff. I love this absolute madman. It's really amazing for muscle recovery and cardio. Strange to see this posted on Sup Forums though.
Benjamin Stewart
i just run the shower cold while i rinse the soap off and then stand in it a couple minutes extra. i used to not be able to function that well in the morning till i started this.
Nicholas Carter
>leaf not defending cold
Jayden Rodriguez
Based Wim Hof, only the dutch could've created such a man
Nathan Ramirez
Both correct. It rapidly increases muscle recovery but you sacrifice some gains. If you want to be a bodybuilder you should give it a miss but if you play sports you should be doing it imo.
Jacob Thomas
Cortisol = stress Suddenly exposing yourself to intense cold will result in a huge cortisol spike. Slowly lowering your shower temp will negate this problem.
Anthony Wright
I've been having ice-cold showers for 12 months now. Really changed my life. My mood and health improved drastically. I never get sick anymore. Ever. Whatever virus goes around, even if my nephews are coughing into my face, I'm immune now. Also my skin feels great.
Kayden Hernandez
Spot on. I haven't been sick since I started doing them either. I was in a house full of lads, every one of them had Aussie flu and I didn't catch it.
Grayson Campbell
It’s been a month since I did nofap mixed with cold showers and working out and it’s great ! The benefits are not absolutely huge but you gain in mental clarity it’s undeniable , you are also a lot less tired and you have strength all day long. I wanna try it forever now.
Levi White
man that looks comfy
Robert Wright
Wim is the man I’ve done his trip in Poland and it was fantastic. Still take the cold showers
Isaac Cooper
Oh ffs, why is Sup Forums so worried about testosterone? Are you all a bunch of fucking numales just finding out about testosterone and trying to replenish what youve actively avoided your whole lives or something? Holy shit, literally every board is full of you faggots pretty much panicking over not having enough, trying to get more, or trying to eat yourself to death on onions because you believe a kindergarten-tier babbys first maymay.
Just kys at your convenience, the world is sick of you effeminate numale cucks
Angel Johnson
So this guy should be on the list of hottest guys and be porn star number one. I think your theory might be missing a few details.
In fact it probably only applies to the class of men who have height face frame for all intents and purposes.
Carson Roberts
i believe you are projecting your own insecurities, burger
Kevin Young
This is literally retarded, estrogen is actually what helps deal with disease, test increases physical healing and strength. This is why women have easier sickness as they have a better immune response. It is the evolutionary trade off.
