Great video, Dorian! I completely agree with everything you said. I did my first ice plunge today, and after I got out, I was amazed at how much my mood and energy levels improved. Getting in is the toughest part, but the benefits are incredible. Thanks for this helpful video! For anyone still uncertain after watching, trust me-it’s exactly as Dorian described. I’m all in for doing this daily. I started at 55°F for 9 minutes, and I feel fantastic tonight! GO DO IT!

How did it help with the injuries? Does it just help to relax and have relief, or does it help heal those injuries?

Can’t speak for original comment but I had nerve damage in my neck due to an injury and it’s not nearly as bad after about (2) months of ice baths. And my neck isn’t even in the water

I was having cold showers for a few years. In the winter I went to the local reservoir. The water temperature was 7˚C. Biggest body shock I've ever had in my life. I thought the cold showers would have made it easier for me, couldn't believe how extreme it was being in water that cold. Need to get a setup so I can easily do it regularly.

[@Ebbandflow12]

Great find!!! Enjoy your vibe.

Although I have slacked for the last couple of weeks here on vacation, I have taken ice cold showers for the last eight years every day and it has changed my life.. less anxiety, less stress and less depression... almost none. Don't underestimate cold showers My shower is 55 degrees and it does wonders.

Man I love watching your videos. In an (online) world filled with people trying to catch your attention for their profits, you're one of the few channels that keeps it real. I am 26 years old but we have so much in common, both when it comes to personality, addictions, experiences, and spending habits; so when I watch your videos it's like having an older version of me telling me how to not fuck up while I'm still young, and as much as this might sound weird to hear from your side, I mean it in the best possible way

Thanks for sharing this deep dive :) I don't have a tub yet but I can get back into cold showers at least for now. Totally agree, the feeling sucks big time before and during, but afterward it almost feels like "enlightenment" haha

Ive always wanted to do ice bath after experimenting with cold showers from waking up or for recovery, because even with that like you said I felt like I took a huge shot of espresso and can just run for no reason at all. The set up is the only thing I feel like is going to be an issue, but you've definitely convinced me to think seriously about looking for proper equipment on it.

[@WojtekB11]

You can use chest freezer directly as cold plunge. 3,5 years everyday Wim Hof Method. Best shape od my life as well. I started exercising right after beginning this method.😀 I'll be 41 in December this year😀

Hey Dorial, love this vid! Can you make an ice bath guide for beginners? Maybe you also have some tips for those who have just an ordinary bath in their homes.

[@StoicJohny]

Lol, there is no beginners guide for ice baths you just gotta man up and hop in bro, this isnt one of those things that you get used to with time ice baths are always going to suck and be challenging, but that is the beauty, feels amazing after you get out its the best health related hobby I've ever picked up, my version of coffee in the mornings I wake up at 5am and hop right in before a work out I can't imagine starting my day without it now, oh and about the bathtub that's how I started out if you have a big enough bathtub that you can fit your whole body up to your neck just fill that mother up and dump 2-3 bags of ice, don't think about it, don't contemplate it, don't plan to start next week, just do it

[@vitormila3951]

Hello, great video. I always train aerobically and by zones, I trained my body to be a metabolic fat machine. Do you recommend taking this bath before running or rowing? Will it activate the mitochondria? I love trying things like this on my body. If it activates brown fat, it must have an impact on the mitochondria. I'm obsessed with diseases and mitochondria. I'm going to try these ice baths.

[@lordnelsonmc.billionberg9166]

doing sport before the ice bath makes it way easier for me ! I love cold plunges ! Its an insane "drug" like experience. (afterwards) It feels like CBD, too.

[@CollinBianchi]

I was skeptical about cold baths as well. But, I started doing them in January. I used to have trouble sleeping but now I do 30-45 minutes in my sauna and I go from the sauna to my ice bath, which I am now up to 6 minutes in, and my mood is so relaxed and happy after. This is unusual for me, I’m normally a worrier. I sleep like a baby too. I have been using the Rubbermaid tub for months. Now that it’s getting warmer in MA I am looking at upgrading to a chest freezer. All my aches and pains are gone. I am not sore after going to the gym anymore. I tell everyone about ice baths and everyone thinks I’m crazy. But I don’t see myself stopping.

[@djquick]

The sauna and ice bath combo is known as ‘contrast therapy’. Try doing 3 cycles next time. 15 minutes at 150 degrees ore more in the sauna followed by 5 minutes at 55 degrees or less in the ice bath. 3 cycles. It’s incredible.

[@maximus4752]

What kind of chiller is that? 100 gallon aquarium chiller?

[@TheSkinnySurvivors]

Hey bro! How long do you spend in the ice bath per day?

[@numbah16]

That's hilarious. I just bought a cheap inflatable cold water tub off Amazon that arrived yesterday and I've been in it 4 times already lol It's crazy how good I feel and how much better I can handle my ADHD. Note that I have done cold water exposure a lot in the past so I'm not imagining the benefits.

[@TheCulinary_Explorer]

You still using his set up or did u upgrade ? any tips ?

[@mybabygirl666]

Did you buy a cold plunge after the cold bath tub? Cannot tell from your video when you are in a bath tub.

[@JToh0914]

How big is your trash can? I like the idea of doing standup plunges instead of sitting. i also wonder if i can do a DIY set up with a massive trash can instead of the rubbermaid stock tank. what do you think?

[@bradygolden5232]

As someone with chronic pain from a 2 year old hip injury (severe TFL an oblique strain), and as someone with ADHD and a job that requires a lot of focus and energy(personal trainer), they’re helping. The dull ache in my hip I’ve been dealing with improved after the first plunge. Now I’m a week in and I’m noticing that even on the days I don’t plunge, the ache isn’t nearly as bad. Joints that used to be stiff feel like they’ve been cleaned up and move more freely. My speculation as to why this is, is the increased blood flow after getting out. My injured muscles are fine now, they work great. However the joints they work around have still been inflamed, and I think cold plunge is helping to both “squeeze” the inflammation out, and then wash it away with the rebound blood flow. Also the mental clarity and focus have helped my ADHD and energy. I had 3 clients tell me I seemed peppy & on point this week. I’m gonna keep it up and see where it goes!

[@samuraifis]

Could you make a video about the last set up you have? Is that a 150 gallon tank? How do you keep it clean…

[@CorvinoDan]

Soap.

[@davidbeiler]

[@alinacarmenatis3275]

You are gonna feel like you are having LITERALLY a heart attack. For around 30 seconds. Focus on your breathing. And direct your thoughts to assurance that in 1.5 minutes everything is gonna get better. This is coming from someone that showers with scorching hot water

[@rossmartin9286]

Hey man.. just bought an ice bath hoping it will help with my injuries from weight lifting.. 38 years old and all catching up now!!

[@bradygolden5232]

How’s it going so far? I’m a week into cold plunge. I’m a personal trainer, so I’m always sore one place or another. I’ve been doing PT for a long time for a hip issue I got from kickboxing. It’s fully healed but it has still been aching. Essentially a hip that works how it should, but just has a constant dull ache. I’ve noticed already that the 3 ice baths I’ve had this week are helping. On the days that I do them the ache is gone, and overall this week it’s been much less intense than before. I think at this rate it’ll feel healthy again in just another week or two. Did you stick to it? Have you noticed improvements in these 2 months since your comment? Sorry for the novel, I’m just really curious!

[@Chewy21414]

Do you have all the info for your current ice set up? I have done them in the past and they're really great I would love to do them more but like you said it's really irritating to have to set up a bath every time with bottles or whatever else.

The point is the controlled stress is GOOD for your body and mind - when combined with the breathing and positive mental state. Your body learns and improves from the "stress"

Did you notice a difference plunging upright or laying down? Debating about trying a different set up.

[@ButtersTheFatGolden]

It’s not a game of Russian roulette I hope my comment can give you a different perspective. Reflect on your relationship BJJ- from my observation your overall theme is “mentality and getting through hard times”. This is a very small part of jiujitsiu. Longevity is something we have control over. Ask yourself: 1) how hard are you rolling weekly? Are you consistently rolling at over 90% every session. 2) how diligent are you are with strength and conditioning ? Are you focusing on Prehad and re hab your existing injuries and fixing dysfunctional biomechanics? 3) What efforts have you put in place for recovery? 4) How much effort are you putting in your diet? I hope these questions can help extend your journey with BJJ. Best of luck!

I tried it for the first time yesterday. And maybe I’m a freak. 😂. First 30 seconds I thought I was gonna die. I hold it 12 min. 40 degrees . I got out of that tube feeling like superwoman. I love it but I can say is not for weak hearts

[@1Jason]

I have been doing cold showers for around 3 months. Started at the same time I quit alcohol. The benefits have been great. I have been thinking about ice baths, but I don't think I could do it yet. I think I would have a panic attack. Maybe after a year of cold showers, I'll try it.

[@MM-ex4gg]

​@1Jason Try just cold water in your tub. It'll probably be 60-62° on full cold. Do it for 5 minutes or whatever. It's a bit of a shock to start, but it's really not that cold. Slowly get the temp to 50ish and work up to 10 minutes. It's very very doable. You don't have to go to 35°

[@1Jason]

@@MM-ex4gg That’s a good idea as a next step. Cold shower first maybe, then the temperature in the bath shouldn’t be too much of a shock. Thx

Cold bath will dramatically raise blood pressure, foolishly giving one a stroke, maybe worse ....Surviving this, means one is in great health

[@MM-ex4gg]

The only thing foolish and uneducated is this comment

[@Elk300]

I recently measured my blood pressure before, during and after an ice bath. I have been taking ice baths for two weeks, 3-4 times a week. It did raise my blood pressure during. The following was my measurem Ice bath: 44° x7 min BP before: 105/83 Pulse: 62* *measured sitting During: 145/83 Pulse:56* *measured sitting in tub, water at chest level, after 7 minutes in the ice bath. 1 hour after: 114/72 Pulse: 50

[@MM-ex4gg]

@Elk300 I would definitely agree it raises it, my disagreement with some opinions is in that I believe that's good for you. It's not the kind of increase like mental stress or vascular issues with how they can negatively affect your health.

[@Elk300]

@@MM-ex4gg That makes sense. But like the OP stated, it raises BP quite a bit. If someone already had high BP, and weak blood vessels in the brain, a stroke is definitely possible.
