Anybody else take Ice Baths???

[Big Bear]

So I went to the gym with my buddy yesterday

afterward we filled up an old trash can with water and like 7 bags of ice and took turns going in for 3 minutes up to our neck

Ofcourse we put a Huge trash bag inside the trash can and taped it so that it was clean inside

If you havent done it I recommend it for a couple reasons

It’s a mental challenge to stay in and have mind over matter

it makes you feel like a million bucks after

and its probably good for your body too

When you go through a strenuous activity, your body pumps blood to region and it swells....that is recovery

Dulling it and slowing the blood down with cold is not recovery

Less pain DOES NOT EQUAL recovery

[RudyRuetigger]

I do agree it's great for mental barriers

But NOT physical when you are already top shelf athlete


Look at SEALS..

Haven't since high school 2 a days, but they were very beneficial when i used them. Used to be super sore, and after 7-10 minutes my legs felt 10x better. Once u can submerge yourself, u lose feeling shortly after, and the rest isn't that bad.

Why do ppl put ice packs on areas with swelling?

Maybe there's a connection here you're missing?

[stevenash]

No, too much shrinkage.
