Are ice baths a meme?
I've been taking my work breaks in the company freezer. (-10F)
And I feel pretty good afterwards.

I tried the -50F freezer but I had to tap out after 3min and 20 seconds.

Not ice baths per se but cold plunges stiffen my body up severely and gobble my gains

>your monkey brain hates the cold, because the cold killed and kills many humans
>fat helps against cold while muscle does not.
>muscles could even kill you faster in primitive conditions since muscles devour fat

What exactly are you expecting from your body if you voluntarily send it a „you’ll die from freezing“ distress signal?
>>
>>76663807

Don't do it, it's a meme for blowhards.
>>
>>76663811
>freezer
that's a different meme
>>
>>76663986
It feels great, very calming
>>
>>76663807
Depends. If you're unpleasantly warm they're good. If you're already cold they're bad.
>>
>>76663807
Yeah huge meme even in athletics for dealing for soreness in contact sports like football and rugby it's largely been phased out.

Reject icebath
Embrace sauna

>>76663807
Report this nigga for stealing his workplace's gains. Those are for the clients
>>
>>76664516
You do both though. That's half the point. What kinda psycho would do an ice bath without sauna after

I go from my sauna to jumping into snow and back again multiple times. It's nice.

>cold makes you hungry, so you eat more
>Digestion and metabolism get ramped up so you have more energy
>muscles have nutrients and energy from food and you go work out more

Ezpz, just don't eat slop like a fatass lol
>>
>>76663807
yes
stress is bad for the body
>>
>>76664959
Chronic stress is. For 15 minutes, you'll be fine, sunshine.
>>
>>76663807
It's a meme.
>>76664516
Sauna is just as much of a meme.

Your body likes homeostasis, putting your body in either extreme is detrimental. There's no benefit other than subjectivly feeling good, even the whole "building willpower" thing isn't true.

It's a trend for turkies to fit in

dyels with shitty lives are always desperate for a "redpill" that will get them jacked without doing anything
>>
ice downs are for people who actually do strenuous muscle damaging shit with their body, which is precisely none of (You) fat retards.
>>
>>76666749
I am 6ft6in tall 197lbs and have a 29in waist.
I'm not fat at all.
I'd like to get out of Otter mode,but my body always seems to return to it.
>>
I remember struggling to find stock photos without niggers in them and I wondered what would happened if I googled psychopath. Fucking jews, man.
>>
>>76666754
regardless, you're still a fucking retard. you were born skinny and it's fine. if your slenderman joints aren't imploding from the absurd load they deal with you're exactly as fit as you need to be.
>>
>>76666758
>you were born skinny
Wrong again.
I was like 275lbs before I started working out and running/Climbing
