    Anybody else take Ice Baths???

    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

    Ice baths are a waste of time

    How do I know?

    Well just look at Brian shaw and hafthor.

    They finally made it big time and use it along with every other advantage you can buy
    .....but finished 3rd and w.e shaw finished

    2 up and comers with martins winning world's strongest man.







    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

    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?

    This is called Cold Thermogenisis. See the Iceman, Wim Hof. Also Dr. Jack Kruse. CT has many benefits.
