GO AWAY VARG

Start out taking normal showers then end the shower with 30 seconds of cold water to close the pores and get used to the sensation. Then keep upping the cold duration until you're taking entire showers that way.

Man up you fucking pussy söyboy

I took cold showers for 1,5 year straight without any issues until I got to know they're not optimal for long time strength gains or muscle growth or something like that, now I shower in lukewarm or cold-ish water after my workouts.

Cold showers are supposed to be taken in the morning, not after the gym

But I only shower after working out though. (Every other or third day)

People literally compliment me on smelling good often, there is no concern about that.

>Start with your left foot, slowy go up to hip.
>Repeat with right one

>Do same with arms, start with left hand go up to shoulder
>Repeat with right one

Then you do your belly and slowly go up, you should aim for a sensation where you don't even feel the water

This guy's post started strong but then he fucked the goat.
Cold showers are a meme for boosting test, which I assume if why you're taking them. Just take normal showers and end them with cold water. This contracts your skin pores and hair follicles meaning you'll have healthier skin and hair.
Taking 100% cold showers does nothing but raise your cortisol (stress) levels

Try lukewarm. The various studies showing benefits of cold showers usually define cold as 'below room temperature'.

good for my skin and immunity, i never get sick
do this once a week

I've been taking cold showers for about 6 months now. After a few weeks, it becomes the norm and you actually really enjoy it

Do you have a link to some stuies about cold showering? Ever heard anything about Wim Hof, anons?

>Contracts your hair follicles
Confirmed absolute retard

There meant to boost will power

No point in cold showers bru

Is it true cold showers make you go bald?

This. Shitposting aside that's the way to do it. Starting warm and slowly turning the water cold is the cowards way. I'm on my third week of cold showers. I start up the shower and charge in like a mad man. There is still that initial shock, but not as bad as when I first started.

Your body does get use to it. It takes persistance though. If you keep at it you'll find the benefits of taking cold showers spill over into your regular life as you become hardier and capable of withstanding hardships and more willing to take risk.

The benefits are there and they are not all physical

>This contracts your skin pores
Pick up a book

Sounds like a psychological bullshit crutch tactic.

Just do it and stop being a bitch. Some days I feel like jumping in some days I feel week and don't. After every shower in glad I did it. I feel so much lighter. Better breathing. Cleaner inside and outside. Happier. More relaxed. Awake and ready for life. Better skin. Will power and all that shit too

Add screaming it shower too for x2 effect. Like bro if you're not taking cold showers I feel sorry for u

No large poops?

Fucking kek'd hard

Cold showers are actually a huge meme. Hot showers for 5-10 minutes are superior as it helps with exfoliating your skin.

>I took one today and felt like I was going to die.

Yeah. That was my experience. It's just a meme for
>looking at what a fucking tough guy i am

i always take them
its good on your skin
good on your muscles
the cold water tights you up and when you get out and warm up your muscles feel so good
r e l a x i n g

its a meme. I did it for a long time and it didnt do jack shit. I even took them in the middle of winter where it gets in the negatives here. they say it is supposed to get you to be more comfortable with whats uncomfortable but thats a joke. now I take long hot showers and it almost became a mediation kind of thing. whenever I feel like shit I just go take a nice long warm shower and it clears my head.

just scream bro I scream at the top of my lungs when that icy stream hits my back

once a week man here
no deodorant or cologne either and no one ever complains

If it's cold enough (like Winter), and you're not used to it, and you're not healthy enough for it... yes, it could actually give you heart problems from the shock and kill you. Practice in the Summer and see how long into Winter you can keep up the habit. Try not wearing a coat in the Winter to keep up your tolerance. It's not dangerous to be in 0 F if it's only for a few seconds (like between the parking lot and your office building). You're going to be inside all day in a climate-controlled environment anyway; coats are just more crap to carry around in my opinion.

cold showers are a meme promulgated by masochists

That makes it worse imo. My favorite strategy is to start with a blast to the face to trigger the mammalian diving reflex, then get the rest of the body wet as fast as possible (it's harder when part of your leg or back is still dry imo).
