just take cold showers and you wont have to do the stupid breathing technique
Jordan Wood
No, Zelda is the the man in pic related.
Well, you can do it both I guess...You'll get two different benefices it seems.

They have different effects. The forced hyperventilation does lower blood co2, raises blood ph, and allows you to supress the urge to breathe (as wim says.) I never got any super powers from it. Coldshower benefits are well documented
Alexander Mitchell
Are you retarded? The purpose of the cold shower is to force you to breathe deeper, and the "stupid breathing technique" actually allows you to withstand the cold you idiot. I even went outside shirtless in the snow after doing it and it felt mild, I was completely relaxed with not shivering at all.
If you want to gain control of your body and mind you first have to learn how to control your breathing. This has been known for thousands of years. Here is a recent study which proves the benefits of these breathing techniques; tcd.ie
Anthony Cooper
You dont need to do the forced hyperventilation before the cold shower. Its actually not a good idea to do so
Jordan Russell
It let me hold my breath for a crazy long time. I'm a smoker and with no preparation it allowed me to hold my breath for 3 minutes and it wasn't even hard.
Aiden Young
Do it in combination to no fap, lifting, meditations in the morning and night and supplementing with zinc, magnesium and vitamin D3.
You'll feel way more focused and enjoy all the little things. You'll also feel way more motivated and energised both in mental motivation and physical endurance

Your not ment to jump in straight away. In fact it's probably dangerous to do So if your not used to it.
Sebastian Brown
Reminder to read The Science of Breath to understand how it all works
Isaiah Taylor
Thats bs. You can hop in straight away its not dangerous. Whereas if you do forced hyperventilation theres a small chance you could pass out in the shower and hit your head
Robert Morris
I tried getting into the cold showers meme this week but couldn't. I put my arm into it, then my legs, then I start throwing some water ion my chest, but I absolutely can't go in. I always coward away and turn up the heat soon after. Any tips on how to overcome this?
Also, can one of you remind me why exactly am I even doing this? What super powers do I get?
Parker Morris
You do it before you take the shower...
Also this hyperventilation stuff, that's not really what it is. Like in OP's video he shows Hof doing it the correct way, then continues to hyperventilate rapidly when he does it. The pace should be slow until you want to heighten the sensations then you can go a bit faster but you don't need to hyperventilate and in fact I've never saw Hof doing that.
Charles Martin
It is in fact hyperventilation. That is what produces all the effects wim mentions (tingling in fingers, lower blood co2 concentration, raised blood ph, lower pain sensitivity, and supressed urge to breathe). You can wikipedia hyperventilation or shallow water blackout if you dont believe me
William Taylor
Did you watch ops video? It says explicitly that you should not do wim hoff method standing up. Wim says to do it lying or sitting down
Charles Rodriguez
when i do the breathing i dont feel any tingling, im not sure if i am doing it right
Jacob Peterson
I can't get into the breathing but I love the cold showers now.

my life has improved after nofap
my gpa has actually gone up
Brayden Collins
in my experience, the anticipation was always worse than the actual cold shock. i adjusted to the cold itself very quick once i got out of my own head about it.
i recommend starting with the face first, hastens the cold adaptation reflex

>missed 2nd question
my skin has improved greatly since the switch, especially the backne. i would also say that cold water works especially well for a no shampoo routine, since it doesn't strip your hair oil like hot water does.
Andrew Moore
Just do your balls bro it's the only thing that matters, I also blast my asshole too but just because it's there

>saves money by not using water heater
I'm not gonna provide sources, but your body's response to cold water is basically "Shit nigga we gon die" and it dumps a bunch of good chemicals to make you try harder to survive. There's also a whole town of old focks in Denmark or some other cunt where they swim in the near freezing waters of the river collectively like some strange ice balls cult. Fixed their arthritis and other old people shit.
Additionally, taking a cold a shower lowers your body temp, exiting and hitting aarmer air will raise it and make you more awake because that's how the body works.

Carson Thomas
I did it once before a cold shower, and I turned it to the coldest my shower could output. I felt numb to the temperature.
