Why I REGRET Taking COLD SHOWERS ️

I still like cold showers, but you make a lot of good points. The only benefits I’ve found is the euphoric feeling after you get used to it and just more cold tolerance after you get into the habit of it. Also I live in a hot place 🤷

I still might do cold plunges at some point but that's also just more so to get my body to adapt to cold

Haha. I love bold speaking, breaking from narratives.

Bro hair grows fast, wtf

I agree- cold showers hurt my immune system but the Sauna is incredible

If you don’t have Viking genetics it’s not worth while 😉

no i do cold showers to feel alive. for the adrenaline makes me focus & think faster. there is NO OTHER reason why i do it.

You are an exceptional individual.

❤❤❤❤ nice Acting Sir

Amen

I agree with you but however starting your day off with cold shower in the morning is very motivating and will help you stay in track with your goals.

I've tried cold showering for a couple of month some years ago. I did notice nothing beneficial.

Cold shower in summer yes it feels great 1 or 2 hours after workout , in winter it s hot shower after workout and a good rest , in the morning i suggest washing face and hands with cold is refreshing to be ready to go outside in the cold , and if someone tries to build an ability to be more resistant to cold and better metabolism i think 15 mins walking outside with summer t shirt for exemple could have it s benefit , but the direct shock waking up warm to frozen directly by cold water is unacessary , and that willpower of resisting pain to grind could be focused in something more rewardable and less painful. Personaly i enjoy walking in cold area with summer or spring clothes , then i go walk in area with rays of sun enjoying the warm , if no sun i go back home and wear the winter clothes if it s too cold.

Things are not black and white.I get your message on the video,we do have limited energy/discipline throughout the day so we should use it on things that benefit us the most and on a wholesome level. No reason to make things and life harder than it is.However cold showers do have their place once in a while (maybe after enough days,weeks, months) we shouldn't just say they're a scam. No point in being this absolute.

I don’t agree with your claim that cold showers are merely a stressful addition to life. It is a fact that cold showers make you more resilient to stress in the long run. Life will break you. It is only a matter of time. Each time you embark in a cold shower you do exactly just that. You break yourself on a smaller scale. They prepare you for this furnace of a world. Maybe I too will change my mind once I get older and life gets busier. Maybe this change of mind will be valid. Or maybe will it be but an excuse. However, I believe that for people who want to achieve a lot they are vital. In the end, I think there is a time and place for them in everybody’s life. So long as it is manageable, I see it as a way to help and carry my cross.

Smart man

why do you think that cold showers let grow your muscles? There are no source references for this. The only fact about cold exposure is that you regenerate better after cardio and strength endurance. A lot of influencers are talking sh*t about cold plunges and stuff like that but you are talking sh*t too. you can't talk about science.

I just want to live a world where cold showers and hot showers can coexist.

The cold shower phenomenon was invented by somebody's dad trying to save on the hydro bill. 😁

Funny, I was just arguing this today

I appreciate the fact that you can cut the bullshit and make videos like this, talking some sense not just keeping up with the current dogma

I workout really hard, and then work long hours on top of that. Im not taking cold showers.

Scottish showers are the way to go IMO, best of both worlds but if you use cold, try to use it in the morning after waking up or at least a few hours apart from your weight training.

Watching this after cold 🚿

It's weird to see how people are argueing so much on this video

I dissagree

Cold showers are not a “scam”. Cold water is invigorating, refreshing and relaxing afterwards. I didn’t follow or need some guru to psyche me. It’s just a logical decision. Water is cold in most of the world naturally. Very few hot springs in the world. Hot water strips your skin of natural oils too. Hot water makes me feel lethargic and limp. To each his own.

Discipline isn’t some limited resource. It can grow with cold exposure.

I feel a cognitive boost regarding mood and find it as energising as the liquid cocaine most people pacify themselves to wake up (aka coffee). But it’s simultaneously relaxing too, unlike coffee.

Enjoy your cosy warm shower.

I prefer a cold (and quick) shower in the morning to wake up. Just a few seconds of ice cold water. Afterwards a short workout or some mobility excercises, 0.5 L of water and a good breakfast. After that, I feel ready for the day. It avoids the caffeine, so I do not depend on that, like a lot of other people do.

This is such a wrong take on how discipline works. Read the early church and philosophers instead of Bro science

Cold showers feel bad because they stress your body out. They are painful because your body knows its bad for you.

Cold showers are good only when you have a bear 🐻🐻‍❄️to keep you warm .

Bro watched "What Ive Learned" and said lemme copy your homework. Lol Everyone has different levels of commitment and tolerance to discomfort. If a cold shower stresses you out and requires that much discipline, you probably have a lot of other issues. Just like if having slightly longer hair is that much of a stumbling block to you that you have to buzz your head.. again what made you that way, I assure you is still there. Just as crazy as it is to say, cold showers are the cure all, its just as ignorant to say its a scam. We're not talking wisdom were talking semantics and harvesting views and comments for revenue when the inevitable disagreements arrive. A stoic man doesn't click bait. You can have it both ways fellas. You can take care of your hair and body and not be vain, you can take a cold and warm shower when you want. What makes it a struggle was someone told you it was either good or bad and you jumped behind a cult of personlity and now confirmation bias has taken your reasoning being masqueraded as stoicism. Its really silly at this point. Your ancestors endured hardships not so you can take a warm shower. Relax your society is in moral decay this isnt even an issue.

Cold showers>>>

Thank you! Finally someone speaking my mind. I'm also against cold showers and never believed in the hype or that they should result in some benefits.

😂 your opinion, its ok i respect you experience, but cold shower truly changed my life soo deep fasting and training cold shower .....

Cold showers are the equivalent of going to the doctor to get checked for std's. Takes for ever to do it and you still feel like crap when it's over.

Here's a crazy idea: When it's warm outside, take a COOL shower. When it's cold outside, take a WARM shower

THE cold shower has entered the chat

Glad to the return of the beard!

You are supposed to do all that and do the cold shower. Discipline isn’t finite. You just do them.

I just do it for the mental toughness and I've found myself feeling more comfortable in cold weather

Cold showers allowed me to increase my cold resistance, since i always hated winter coldness. Also allows me to wake up and be alert for the rest of the morning.

It most definitely increased my mental toughness as well.

Bro is doing curls with a gun on his hip! What a guy.

Bruh, I thought u were a real man... They ain't a scam they are firstly less expensive and they are mentally hard to do so they make u mentally stronger and they are also great for your physical body, deadlifts are a scam.

I agree with you. If you jab yourself with trt, take cold showers, and workout 3 days a week you can achieve the worlds physique and mental toughness lol

nah dog this is a miss. cold showers in morning and hot at night

cold showers build discipline and make you feel incredible

Hot showers have been shown to decrease sperm count temporarily so i just do medium warm showers

Hello David, it seems you misunderstood the concept of applying cold water into your life. Let me explain, we should take cold shower ONLY in the morning when our body is full of cortisol abd testosterone that kinda prepare us for it, and by doing so you will get all the benefits of the cold shower. BUT taking it after the gym session or in the end of the day is a very bad idea and just as you said it is truly better not to overstress the body abd let it relax, as we prepare for the sleep and by taking that cold shower instead of a regular one you will increase your cortisol level and that will eventually stop your melatonin production and it ultimately will lead to some problems with falling asleep. Hope you got me right 👍

thank you!!

Great vid ! U right, this helped me i stopped going to the gym the last 2 weeks after like 1 month of cold showers now i get why !
