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

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.

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

I just did my first cold shower today, everything locked up, I felt like I was gonna pass out, but I breathed through it, until the tension melted away, until the water felt WARM, I felt tingly, I used WIM HOF's method of breathing to activate my vascular system, I felt so good I walked back home in the rain, with just my shorts and tshirt. I felt warm, couldnt feel the cold.my hands were WARM, in the cold rain! I now still feel warm, tingly, and very, very calm. I think Ill do this everyday til I die too now :-D

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.

Thanks man, congrats for the conviction regarding ice baths and continue to be strong regarding those addictions. Really appreciate your sincerity.

[@waynesanders1406]

If you live in Colorado or some place that is cold, your shower water becomes cold as ice near winter. It's below 30 outside right now and I've taken ice showers with something I made years ago in Florida, and this is colder, and I can stay in it for more than a few minutes since there is no melting ice. Sitting in a tub of ice water can be cold, but if you stay inert and don't move the temperature of the water right around you warms up. Keep moving to keep the water circulating to get maximum cold.

[@charlyspade4943]

So, is it better to do the cold plunges before you exercise? I'm almost 63 and my health is not good! Hey, but I came up with an idea for preparing the cold plunges at pennies on the dollar! All I'm going to do is take 4 clear plastic containers and cut them in half and use tap water and freeze them overnight in my fridge. Then, I will fill my bathtub with water (which is tap water) and then drop the frozen container in the tub and then let the torture begin! I'll let you know how it works out! Thanks for sharing!

[@brandonaitken1180]

I believe it’s best to do it before. If after, I think it negates the effects of exercise.

[@Fitefears]

@@brandonaitken1180it’s for recovery though so wouldn’t that make it for after a workout ?

[@brandonaitken1180]

@@Fitefears correct. But only for endurance based exercise where the focus is on recovery. Whereas, with strength building exercises, the focus is on growth. So cold plunge within 6 hours of growth/strength based exercise impedes muscle growth by reducing anti-inflammatory properties.

[@frnk8267]

I can totally understand what you mean. Every time I take an ice bath, after about half a minute I am overcome with total calm. It's like a reset for my mind and body. Afterwards I have a high for hours. Your idea with the trash can is good, but they're a bit too narrow here. I use a rain barrel from the DIY store, which works better than the inflatable ice barrels. Making your own ice cubes every day is too time-consuming, so far I've been using cooling batteries/ice packs. I'll give the water bottles a try too. Thank you for this video

[@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.

[@ianthornhill9659]

12:03 I also recommend using apps for tracking like Cold Water Therapy. Tracks vitals time and cold. On that note time to plunge

[@13iDu57]

Thank you for your testimonial, I realised that I was becoming chilled, and I wasn't exercising any more, and before I heard about cold baths and Iceman... . I started doing 3 things (perhaps a good preparation for ice baths): 1/ Take cold showers (16.5°C, and as winter arrives it goes down even further 🙂 after a few minutes I don't feel the "cold" any more) 2/ Walk to work rather than take the bus (after the one hour car journey) 12mn walk in a T-shirt, bare arms, no bonnet or gloves, just an umbrella just in case 🙂 (I've had 8°C and 6°C from time to time and after 10mn walk breathing as calmly as possible I didn't feel the cold any more and it became pleasant). I lowered the air-conditioning in the car to 18.5°C (I was at 22/23°C) for the 2 times an hour's drive I have to make every day. My relationship with the cold has changed radically in 7 weeks, during which I haven't caught a single cold. I'm looking forward to the cold of winter, even if the first few minutes are always a bit tricky. I'm dreaming of taking ice baths, even if it's a bit of a shock compared to what I'm doing now.

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!

It gets a lot easier, really fast. The first few times are really rough but I have found (after starting and stopping multiple times) that after only 2 or 3 sessions, the "suck" factor goes down by half.

In my experience with cold plunging in 37°, the only real unpleasantness are my hands and feet aching. But you endure it for 3 to 5 minutes and it's done. You feel amazing for three to five hours. There's no rule you have to plunge in near freezing water for the first time. Submerge in cold water from tap, fill your bath tub to a nice novice 60 degrees, that's how I started. You'll still reap benefits from that as well - do it daily while saving up for a Galvinized steel water trough you can fit in and a water chiller, I recommend Nuvio.

Been plunging for 6 mths, I agree don't look forward to initial plng, but getting out and next hrs are nice.

Very few people are comfortable being uncomfortable and the feelings you get afterwards, not necessarily just a cold bath. Spending most of your life being comfortable is not a very fulfilling life in my humble opinion ❤ ❄️

Agreed 👍
