What is the best way to take a cold shower.
I shower for about 8 minutes in hot water to wash my hair and body and then for 3 minutes I gradually turn down the heat until it ia fukky closed.
Is this enough to raise testosterone levels?

Just shower cold from the start

I feel better when going directly into the coldest water. No excuses, just go directly into the pain.
However I'm not a fan of cold showers in general and prefer to take ice baths 2-3x a week.

Its best to do the whole thing cold. Certainly feel it more and its more invigorating. I often find I'm cold and itchy all over for 20-30 minutes afterwards though so I generally have a regular shower and then turn the temperature right down to ice cold and shock myself for a minute or so at the end

You DON'T.

It's a troll-meme. They just want you to be miserable, or maybe get a laugh at your expense when you're sick all winter because you're cold constantly. Doesn't really have any verifiable benefits. Don't bother yourself, OP.
Want to raise your testosterone?

EAT
SLEEP

Simple as that.

I go straight from the hot soapy wash to get clean to full cold... go straight to it man and rinse in full cold all over a few times.... it never gets easier but you eventually gain the ability to do it daily wityhout pussing out
currently sitting in my underwear with the sliding glass doors wide open and the heat set to 64 ... outside its 45 in New Hampshire where it snowed last night..

You do realize what “broscience” means right?

Literally just man up. Not everyone is strong enough. If you're some kind of nigger then its probably gonna be even harder. Turn the water to max cold, take a deep breath, hold and enter the water. Jumping and dancing might also help at first.
t. Showered in exclusively max cold water every morning for a full year

did you bother reading that? or did you just stop there based on your bias?

My secret for cold showers is that I prepare my body as if I'm going into a fight, I start jumping around and punching... This heats me up and I just go under the stream of cold water and keep jumping and punching until it feels warm

Sounds like comfy Southern NH.

start your showers cold and finish them cold

I can only imagine this shit

Chads takes a BOILING HOT shower while YOU suffer in ICE COLD water like a true INCEL thinking it will somehow improve your appearance despite cold exposure being shown to decrease Testosterone.

>serum testosterone levels were also lowest in blind cold-exposed rats.

Cute way of promoting your shitty site. If only the writing style wasn't unbearable, with half of the 'proof' abstracts having nothing to do with actual fast cold showers in the morning.
3/10, atleast you tried.

So some of the claims expressed by amatuer bro-scientist lack science in foundation .... who cares ? Do you feel refreshed when getting out of a cold shower? I do and that's all I care to know. I am not looking at them for anything more than the invigoration and possibly helping trigger fat burning ... if you don't need to burn fat good for you. I do. and cold thermogenesis is a proven method for fat burning.
David Carter
Fair enough. Only real benefit is the fat loss, the others are memes/frauds and if you actually search all the negative effects of Adrenaline which is triggered by cold showers I would argue that done over years this will accelerate aging and worsen your appearance. Wim Hof sure looks like shit for a guy that otherwise probably has a much healthier lifestyle than men of his age who eat like shit yet look younger.

I have to say i have alwasy wondered about this... if you think about food lasting longer in the refrigerator as a basis for thinmking this works maybe you need to do a little more thinking... maybe it does boost white blood cell count to help keep from getting sick but if it is wearing you out in the process maybe just be a bit more aware or your surroundings and wash your hands frequently and up your vitamin C... there is still something to be said for being able to endure a state that is intolerable to most others. a sort of a sense of victory.

Do you not feel refreshed when getting out of a hot shower?
Evan Sanders

Sup NHbro? How is the new year going to be for you?
Julian Lewis
5 days a week, 2 minute straight cold rinse, but twice a week start hot and use soap and shampoo, still finish cold
