It's retarded and unironically gay to make muscle growth one'e biggest priority.

Cold shower first thing in the morning is great for raising dopamine levels and for stabilizing one's circadian rhythm.

"Cold water immersion is a popular strategy to recover from exercise. However, whether regular cold water immersion influences muscle adaptations to strength training is not well understood. "

Scientists don't know. If you feel like it helps, keep doing it. Otherwise, take a comfier shower.
