    Do they work wonders for sore muscles?

    how much ice is neccessary? like a freezer trays worth ?


    my first thought is that it would suck... but does your body get used to it after a minute or 2?



    is there any danger of hypothermia? i'm trying to do something for my back pain.

        Epsom salts aren't the same as the man made bath salts...Epsom salts are natural

                take one about twice a week…use the ones in the physio rooms huge metal tubs and they dump about 5 20 gallon gatorade coolers of ice in there obviously with cold water...

                At home you will need WAY more than a freezer tub full, maybe go buy two bags at the gas station.

                They're miserable first couple minutes but you get used to em after awhile..

                I will tell you they don't seem to help the soreness as much as the misery.

                    It is proven to be healthy for you. My experience with them confirms this

                      Better treatment for back pain is back extensions and light weight deadlifts for 10-12 reps

                      Gets the blood flowing through the area and strengthens the muscles surrounding the damaged soft tissue for added support

                            Don't take an ice bath your whole back could seize. Best exercise for the low back is walking outside (not on a treadmill). Walk daily and wait till most muscle soreness subsides before going back to the gym. Do all exercise standing with emphasis on hams, glutes, and static abs (no situps).

                                I do ice cold showers every fkn morning since I was little - wouldn't trade that for anything else

                                used to do ice baths when I was younger and played hockey...but really don't have the need for it anymore

                                many Russians jump in the freezing cold water for a little swim every year in January to celebrate the holiday of the Epiphany

                                    no one claims to be tough...and taking ice cold showers certanly doesn't make someone tough -- only a brain dead dumbass like you could glue these two things together

                                    unlike you, my little friend, I don't live in a dream world of one day saving America from imaginary Alien +Soviet invasion
                                    recon by now I've already lost track of how many times you got served here...you cry about my lex - I post a pic with it and you go quiet
                                    I throw a poll on this site and get your IP and you scream that you gonna sue SBR for it...I mean How fukkin pathetic can you be recon?

                                    honestly at this point I just feel sorry for your face...I really do

                                    let me know if I can help you in any way...maybe we do some one on one counseling a few times a week... say between 3-4AM your time?

                                      I have taken very cold baths/swim in cold lakes.But not for sorness more for being sick and i will tell you it does help with being sick %100 and the flu.If you ever get sick either take a ice cold shower/bath/or lake but if you cant stand that get a 5 gallon buket and fill it with ice a cold water and put your feet in for 5-10 minute intervals.it gets your blood flowing extremely fast through your whole body because it has to go from heart all the way to feet.

                                          little recon you're out of ammunition in this fight
                                          spending your days doing nothing but watching youtube vids about guns and dreaming how you're going to one day save the US, is not advancing in life
                                          do all of us a favor and just give up on your pathetic existence...you're half way there -- it's time for the final push

                                          I'll be the first one to say Thank You!
