Why don't you take cold showers every day, faggots?

How do I convince myself to cold showers? Just blast myself with cold water right from the get-go and hope I'll eventually like it?

Daily reminder cold showers SHOULD NOT be taken after workout.
It fucks up your muscles.
In the morning is the right time to do it.

Washing almost only with cold water for 6 months already, it doesnt even wake me up at this point. Then again my tap water is not very cold. When I was abroad I stayed at place and it had wicked cold water, wish I had same in my house.

I feel dirty and sweaty all day if my shower isn't cold enough to make me pant.

I have always taken cold showers. Hot showers make me feel lazy.

I just started going right into completely cold water from the start and doing some sort of Wim Hof breathing technique. Get used to the temperature pretty quickly and the breathing distracts me. I'm always hesitant to get in the water but I remind myself that it's not a big deal and go for it.

this shit is such a meme, fuck off.

This

work your way up to it; start by making the water gradually colder over the course of 20 seconds. work down to 10, then 5, until you can instantly turn your shower as cold as it will go.
personally, the first cold shower i took, i didn't work my way into it, i went straight to the coldest it'd go and i hyperventilated like crazy and my heart felt like it'd beat out of my chest. now, i don't even have the slightest involuntary reaction to cold water

I tried taking a cold shower and ended up pissing blood two hours later. Fuck that.

I live in Phoenix and there's no such thing right now.

what

Thought I was the only one, its such an adrenaline rush I just start laughing uncontrollably

I do it most days a week, especially after workouts. I just stand in the shower and turn the water on, I think it’s easier than jumping in

>not knowing baldness is a sign of higher testosterone
Enjoy your basedhair, scalplet

>"In fact, a hot shower capped off with a cold rinse, often called a Scottish Shower, was a favorite of James Bond in Ian Fleming's novels. Aside from making you feel like an unstoppable badass, taking a cold shower has legitimate health benefits you can experience immediately."

This guy gets it, wash up luke warm then finish as cold as possible

>meme
>changes white fat to brown
Enjoy being an obese shitbag.

seems legit.

Wind the temperature down gradually and wet just your head to adjust

The weather does that for you retard

I admit I don’t look forward to it in the winter. But a cold shower in the morning in the summer feels great.

Reminds me of how I refused to touch my nipples for like 5 years because I got nosebleed right after rubbing them once as a kid.

for those of you too scared do this
>turn on cold water
>step into shower but not to where the water is touching you
>count to 10 with your fingers
>on 10 turn your body into the water
>it feels uncomfortable for like half a second
>you get use to the cold and it feels warm after 20 seconds
>you can make it even colder then
>repeat last 2 steps till it's the coldest possible temperature
after a week or so you won't even need to do any of the steps and can just walk in a ice cold shower

diff person but i like to run my feet or hands underneath the tap first and i've found it helps lessen the initial shock. when i first started out i figured it was best to just put my head directly under the showerhead and blast it first thing and it worked great for me even in winter, just make sure you warm up with some proper breathing first (in the nose, out the mouth)

I did them for over a year waiting for results & all they did was fuck up my hairline
I noticed zero benefits
All the "pros" are placebo.

tried cold showers, kept on getting sick. was it weakness leaving the body or just a stupid idea? I think a stupid idea, especially trying to do it during winter.

Thanks I would rather shoot myself then suffering every single morning.

didnt it actually help you with hair loss? like better blood pressure in head so more hair?

It feels good until it's the winter. The pipes get cold so it feels like you're drowning.

source would be appreciated

>I enjoy a nice cold shower. Wakes me up. Will you take cold showers in the winter?
I'll try to. Cold water is really cold in Russia especially when it's like -20c.

How could it possibly be linked

thanks for the tips, I was doing the count down thing when I tried this a while ago but didn't think about staying in it and knocking the temperature down over time

>this shit is such a meme, fuck off.
Spotted ballsless eunuch.

Because your muscles are cold when you wake up.
You need to heat them up.

>didnt it actually help you with hair loss? like better blood pressure in head so more hair?
It does, his problem was clearly irrelevant to cold showers.

>tried cold showers, kept on getting sick. was it weakness leaving the body or just a stupid idea? I think a stupid idea, especially trying to do it during winter.
That's the entire point of it, to harden your body and make you resistant and adaptive to cold. You pussied out, kid.

>Because your muscles are cold when you wake up.
>You need to heat them up.
You heat them up by taking cold shower.

I heat my drinks by putting ice in it.

Because a warm shower is one of the few simple pleasures i have

me too bud

>dumbass doesn't know that his organism heats up while under cold water

my sides

It took me about a year and a half of cold showers to actually feel a physical benefit (greatly improved general cold tolerance). The mental benefits kicked in quite quickly though (put me in a better mood for the day, because of the “bravery” of jumping straight into a cold shower. Yes, I know I’m a pussy).

Cold showers might have a slight negative effect on your gains, as the sudden cold temperature can interfere with the production and functionning of the Tor enzyme that allows you to repair muscle fibers.

Cold showers boost your testosterone, brainlet.

How useful when the enzyme that makes your gains is produced less

Trusts me bro i know what i am talking about

>Daily reminder cold showers SHOULD NOT be taken after workout.
Runners take cold showers and use cold water in general to calm the pain in their legs.

But for normal people it's suitable to take a cold shower before the workout because you will heat you up and force your heart to run more blood as well as generate more testosterone before the workout. It's a great pre-workout procedure.

>implying a 5min cold shower is cold enough or long enough exposure that it has any major effect positiv or negative

Not pooping is the ultimate test increase.

Day 7 of no-poop and I have an erection for 16 out 24 hrs a day.

>don't have access to warm water
>take cold showers year round
Get on my level fags.

I would but going all cold no heat is just a bit too much for me and if i do i have to go one limb at a time and it takes forever

start with the back and then it gets easier

Who /hotshower/ here? If my skin isn't getting red it ain't a real shower.

Showering makes my skin feel dry and itchy.

>Who /hotshower/ here? If my skin isn't getting red it ain't a real shower.
Your skin will get red after taking a cold shower.

Right here bud. Hot showers are one of the only things I truly enjoy in life.

say goodbye to your fertility

Why would I?

I usually do 2 a day, I've been taking them for over a year and at this point it feels like nothing.

not the user you replied too, but i did cold showers and nopoo for 9 months last year. it might not've been the cause for my hair loss but doing the cold showers in the afternoon after my workouts definitely stressed my body so much. I could not sleep the way I used to and I became more stressed than usual. I also started breaking out with way more pimples on my torso than ever before. My hair started falling out like crazy especially after I started excessively ejaculating inside my gf.

cold showers can mess with / drain your lymphatic system, causing major hormonal responses usually in the form of cortisol increases. the rush you get going from hot to cold (like jumping out of a hot tub, into the snow, and then back) is caused by this lymphatic response, and will feel good if done very rarely but will cause major hormonal issues if done regularly.

Fair point. Now post yours to prove that this isn't some "clean your room" tier meme used by borderline neets to feel like they've accomplished something.

>Being such a pathetic Jow Forums dweeb you think shit like cold showers and not jacking off is going to make your life better

Hilarious

Jewed and cuckpilled.

we are not the ones saying cold showers are bad for you, we just do it because it wakes us up, if it has any apparent adverse effects like some of you say, the burden of proof is on you guys

Finish the shower with cold water and you'll reap the benefits.

I enjoy my showers, faggot.

well well well

That has to be one of the lamest things to feel badass over. Jesus Christ

Been doing them for 5 weeks now, together with the rest of my "lifestyle change".
I'd say start at the feet and work your way up.
Cold showers after/while youre exhausted from exercise go over easier too.

Someone please post the stoicism steps where it ends with a wolf saying to sleep on the floor and cut hot water

5 reasons you should take cold showers:
1. Studies have shown that cold showers lead to healthier and cleaner skin.
2. Increases blood pressure to get the blood flowing to all areas of the body. Makes you "wake up" more in the mornings
3. Statistics show the use of cold showers to reduce use on water making this an environmentally friendly activity.
4. Although several studies have shown cold showers to increase risk of heart cancer, it helps with weight loss.
5. Feeling sore from a workout from the previous day? Studies show cold showers to reduce the effect of DOMs post workout.

cuz it hurts and is uncomfortable. not gonna pussy out from giving the real reason on an anonymous website

I pretty much only use hot water if I need to scrub down or for therapeutic reasons. Everything else I use cold water.

It's the same but instead of iphones and microwaves its your body and a cold shower. Don't do stupid things and dont be impatient.

Redundant

>"lifestyle change"
yeah im sure you and your bf like the slightly cheaper electric bill too.

I did for a year, then I stopped because I didn't notice any difference, whether mental or physical.

kek, you waited a whole year?

holy kek, this is amazing

NoPoop is a concept that makes me chuckle. Touche funny user touche

Just think of it as jumping into a cold lake or pool during summer time. Get your whole body wet as soon as possible, take a few controlled breaths to help the body adjust, and you will be fine.

On the other hand, I have found that humming or singing helps with the extra adrenaline/energy during the shower itself. Also great way to work on singing skills desu.
