Cold Plunge | Ice Baths

[fapmasterjr]

Anyone have experience or thinking about getting into cold plunging? Ive been cold plunging in my pool over the winter, but now that its getting warm, i’ll need a stand alone to continue.

I feel the benefits have been amazing these past 60day. Lots of options on tub/chillers…so hopefully someone else in here has experience.

That pic is crazy

God bless though. I'm sure you'll get accused of being a Joe Rogan supporter as a result of making this thread.

My heating broke down last month so I had to shower in icecold water for about a week.
Y'all can keep that.

Ive been looking into cold plunging. Did it one time out the country and enjoyed it. Probably just get one of those big metal containers in the near future and do it that way

Word. But if going that route, you’ll need to buy ice (which adds up) to get it at 40degrees, and then you have to think about replacing water every few days (which adds to cost).

But yeah, if u live in cold conditions year round…id be tempted to go that route, cheapest for sure!

Last hotel I stayed at I jumped right into the unheated pool from the hot tub.

Felt like Wim Hof.

Water costs a fraction of a cent per gallon. If you are doing it yourself and can leave it out i would just put a cover over it and not change the water. Then you just need to buy a few bags of ice from the gas station or have one of these fancy ones with the chilller and thermo

I did it for the first time last weekend, and after a hard training session which isnt really recommended but i did 3 minutes the first time, 10 minutes sauna, then the 2nd time back in only lasted like 50 seconds then repeated sauna

You need someone there with you to push you/distract you. And the 2nd time is harder than the first

Legit just did a cold plunge 10 minutes ago then saw this thread. I'm a fan.

OP definitely subscribes to Rogan on The Spotify.

I’ve done it before and it definitely helps the knees after a long soccer game.

Pretty cool seeing DIY builds from just using a freezer. Cost savings vs buying an actual all-in-one is insane. YT peeps documenting and making DIY for around $600

Had to do an ice bath today after a half marathon

Ive seen them for as low as $50 after some codes. Could also get a stainless steel trough from trsctor supply for about 100

That's what my father-in-law did - has a sauna in the basement and a trough on the deck. Don't know what he does to keep it cold now though - in OH so the winter I'm sure was easy.

Yeah, this some Joe Rogan or Professional athlete stuff. Also, the social media influencers. I do wonder how a cold bathtub soak with a lot of ice would be after a long Bball session though.

Cold Plunges/Ice Baths shock the nervous system and raise the heart rate… ultimately increasing testosterone levels.

During each of my showers I put the water at the coldest temperature that I can take.

I benefit from the practice… and recommend it to others.

Yeah, I've ended all my showers with 30 seconds of really cold water after reading about that "trick" from some article that interviewed 100+ year old folks a long time ago.

Don't exactly remember when I started since it was so long ago, but I've been at my current job for over a decade now and I still haven't used a sick day from actually being sick.
