Redpill me on cold showers...

It is invigorating/fun, especially after HIIT workouts. It also cleared my acne because I was showering with scalding water, but I get the same acne-clearing effects when I just use slightly warm or cool water, it doesn't have to be cold.

Isn't the fact that it is difficult to motivate yourself to do it part of the point? Building mental strength?

It's 100% a discipline exercise

Out of all the difficult things in this world, why would you choose something useless and with no proven benefits? Is your posture perfect right now? Why not start there?

I've been taking them for a few months and as far as physically goes I've only noticed better body temp regulation and less sweating, not minding having my shirt and tie on even in the heatwave Britain had not long ago. But mentally I feel better after them, and it's good to keep a hot shower as a treat, I don't spend as much time in the shower anymore either because it becomes about function and not relaxing

>not icing yourself once you've washed off the soap purely to gain mental discipline
never going to make it

Ok retards... do you understand the concept of sauna?
Cardio by heat? Cardio just by sitting...
Now whats with cold showers...
If you fucking go under cold water for 10 minutes its same cardio effect preety much...
AND THATS IT O TESTO BOOST NO SHIT
With sauna u risk
With cold ahowers u risk.

THATS IT.
RETARDS

Don't tell me you're one of those people who think your fat is literally melting in a sauna like a stick of butter.

I only take moderate temp / cold showers these days. I used to get very dry skin after a shower and then oily skin later in the day, now i have regular skin all the time without using any skincare product.
On a hot summer day cold showers are fucking great, but motivating yourself to get out of your warm bed and into a cold shower in the winter is pretty hard.

I take cold showers when I'm living at my parents house because they have a fucked up heating system. When I do it regularly I notice that my hair and skin looks a bit better. Hot showers dry my skin out. I've been having them for the last 3 months and you just get used to them eventually.

>sauna is cardio
jason genova pls go

Sauna + cold shower (or better yet swimming in a frozen lake) is god tier at least for the feeling.
Don't know about health benefits and wouldn't care if it was bad for you.

I dk it feels good and closes your pores up after washing.

Hot water makes you sweat, rinse off with cool so you don't have sweat on your body after cleaning yourself

The sweating thing is huge. I used to be one of those people who would sweat buckets from very light exercise, but I started taking cold showers and I barely sweat anymore.

>actually feeling cold from the shower
bitch I take cold showers twice a day and they just warm me up, you feel your skin tingle after and its just a nice feeling of warmth as your body takes over

They're refreshing in the morning but they also make me sleep better at night
Idk about it increasing test or not

Fpbp, this is true for just about everything people tell you on fit.

>you feel your skin tingle after and its just a nice feeling of warmth
Only reason i cold shower. Absolutely based feeling.

people in mexico do this all the time because you need to get wood to fire up the heater but no one has time for this. its be a white-boy facade

>Redpill me on cold showers.
Okay, I will.
They're a troll-meme and really don't do anything for you, they just amuse the trolls because they know you're making yourself miserable for no good reason and are being a fool for falling for it. There's damned good reasons why we humans seek WARMTH, it's because warmth is LIFE, being cold all the time is DEATH. Use your common sense, OP: would you enjoy being cold all the time?

Do like brazilians and install electric heaters.

Cold showers are good because they're unpleasant. They're cold and you don't want to go in, but you do anyway. In that way they build discipline, which you need if you want to follow the path of iron.

What do you do after you've gotten used to cold showers? Crush your own balls? Hover your hand over a stove like Travis?

you don't get used to a cold shower, on a physical level. on a psychological level, you will be better at tolerating discomfort

But there has to be a next level, how about waterboarding yourself in the shower?

stop being stupid, user

I'm sorry, I thought you would know about progressive overload since you're on Jow Forums. Are you one of those Jow Forums fagots who come here to learn how to pick up chicks on Tinder?

The stuff about cold showers boosting testosterone is broscience. Its like saying eating a bowl of nails for breakfast will boost test because its manly or some shit.

The actual benefit of cold showera is
1) it helps wake you up in the morning
2) hot water can be damaging/drying to your skin and hair, ripping away the natural protective oils. Cold water is more gentle.

literally mine
but I never use it because it is always hot as fuck here, even when taking a night shower
the only reason we ever got this here is because my younger sister is a spoiled brat and can't stand cold showers

No I wouldn't. My workout buddies are all hyped up on them and it seemed like a meme to me.

Cold showers are good for your hair and skin. When you take them you will feel like a million bucks after you're done.

But the legitimate ONLY REASON (and the best fucking one) to take them is it trains your willpower, it's a muscle like anything else. And the more you willingly enter uncomfortable situations that are good for you and conquer it. The easier it is to do that when it comes to real life obstacles and accomplishments.
