You're welcome!! (I learned that the plastic do break and someone suggested metal containers to fix that problem)

[@mattooi4322]

His comment about moving to displace the film of water heated by your body is spot on--you miss out if you stay motionless. Also going naked or in a swim brief is way better for that reason--regular swimsuits/jammers retain a film of water close to the skin that your body heats up similar to a thin wetsuit.

[@JasonGrubb]

Yep. Moving is the worst. And the best!!

Thanks for this tip. My wife is just getting in the plunge and we didn't really want to dump a ton of money into a chiller, and only need it during the summer months. Found a freezer on sale for $160 and will be much easier than bags of ice all the time.

Great method. I did this for about a year. My freezer is in my garage and ice barrel is in the backyard, so it was kind of a pain. Finally broke down and bought a Penguin chiller.

I just moved to Florida as well and decided this was a better method as well instead of spending $1000 on a chiller. This works great so far! I use 8lb silicon forms for my ice blocks. They work pretty well. You are an absolute UNIT as well, brother! Very symmetrical, too. Well done!

[@BradeF1]

So crazy the difference between moving water and stagnate in an ice bath/plunge.

[@bluejesper]

After a Wim Hof course I wanted to create an ice Bath but I have limited space living in a big city. I looked at industrial ice cube machines but that requires plumbing and has a large foot print and will yield a 10 kg tray only . Probably not enough. I thought of getting a person sized chest freezer but again that takes up too much space. So, I came across Jason’s video here, just as I’m a doing a same trial of freezing ice in tupperware containers, now just in my small regular freezer, and then add them my regular bathtub as an ice Bath. I hope it will work out as well as jason, in which case I’ll get a small chest freezer also. Seems the simplest and most efficient solution. Thank you for sharing Jasón.

[@JasonGrubb]

Good luck! Where there's a will, there's a way!

[@erikvandam5966]

Could you tell me what material works? When I use a bucket it freezes through the bucket abd destroys it… thanks!

Quick question from one data nerd to another - I noticed you have moved to Apple Watch for your input. Are you using Athlytic then, and any thoughts vs whoop? 😊 cheers!

[@jeanniebeneanie3752]

Good job 👏

[@radicalradzik]

Ice plunge daily is magnificent. I’ve used a similar hack with deep freezer and metal bowls which seem to freeze faster. I also use several stainless steel cups 16 oz in the fridge freezer for 12 hours. Works fantastically to get my cold pod to 49-53 F. Enjoy!

[@JasonGrubb]

Great idea! I've heard of using metal containers before.

[@mrkevinj]

Ah, good idea! Any suggestions for the best affordable (under $100) insulated cold tub/barrel with a cover?

[@EXTORTlON]

I personally used an old pool

[@JasonGrubb]

Yeah. Not many options under $100 that I know of. I mean - cold water in your bathtub with ice maybe.

[@shearollings]

This is awhile later after this question was asked but if anyone sees this, I bought a Rubbermaid 100 gallon plastic tank, a cheap cover on Amazon $30, and a freezer chest on OfferUp for $100. It works well for me.

[@stellasbay8345]

Many thanks for a great and informative clip. Once you have dropped the ice into the tub, appx how long does it for the water to get the ready-to-plunge desired temperature? And what appx is the water temperature by then?

[@JasonGrubb]

I would generally put the ice in and then go start my coffee, put in my contacts, etc. So about 10 minutes. Water temp really depends what the ambient temp is, but it got it below 50degress for me.

[@3raser3]

Thanks for sharing your method. I was planning on buying a 100 gallon stock tank and 14 cubic foot chest freezer and doing pretty much the same thing. Was planning on getting some industrial strength zip locs and filling them with water to make the ice packs. I wasn't sure if that would be enough. Have you measured your water temp by any chance?

[@JasonGrubb]

Water temp really depends on the season and location of your tank. If it’s hot out, it’s hard for the ice to get the tank cold enough. If you insulate the tank and keep it in a cooler place, ice works wonders.

[@3raser3]

@JasonGrubb interesting. Thanks for the advice. I'm in Florida as well so might be a challenge haha

[@JasonGrubb]

I’d go with a penguin chiller in FL Https://www.penguinchillers.com/product/jason-grubb-fitness-chiller-bundle/

Hey! I got them at Walmart.

[@Nicole.Sisson]

I definitely prefer an ice bath over a cold shower any day. Just curious what temp are you able to get your ice barrel to with all that ice?

[@JasonGrubb]

With just ice. Depending on the ambient temp - I can get it into the 50s

[@Nicole.Sisson]

@@JasonGrubb Thanks, I was just curious. I live in Washington and have been testing out The Ice Pod. I've been getting creative with my ice making! 🤗

[@daveb2077]

Checking on chillers and they are close to $800 and more. Maybe if your going to do it everyday might be worth. But like you did here, can get a freezer chest to make ice for a lot less. According to the information Hubermann talks about you need 11 min a week for the benefits. Every other day and a freezer seems to be the way to go. If the freezer breaks not only is it cheaper, but can get another faster than when if the chiller breaks.

[@JasonGrubb]

I do 3 minutes a day. Definitely like using the chiller now: www.penguinchillers.com/product/jason-grubb-fitness-chiller-bundle/

[@philipwilliams6307]

Turns out you get the best from the initial plunge, as your body kicks into survival mode and your breathing deepens as a result. So probably chucking in the ice, going for a 15 - to - 30-minute jog, then hoping in as quickly as you can. To shock your system Edit: I recently found out that while a shock to your system is still important, to get the best results from your runs is to have them After an ice bath vs. Before.

[@JasonGrubb]

Yep - isn't that crazy. No more ice baths post workout... we always want to plunge first thing - before any exercise.

[@ronniebernhart518]

Hey Jason , big help 🙏🏽🙏🏽 what freezer did you end up getting??

[@JasonGrubb]

Just a cheap one from target (about $200). You can get a freezer like this anywhere (walmart, target, home depot)

[@hover_roller_balance_boards]

Really good tips. I m looking into buying an ice freezer. Tbh I’m more focused on my legs only. What I do is take a shallow ice bath in my bath tub. That way I can sit there for 30-1hr and just freeze my legs and feet. Then I switch and lay back with legs up to do my upper body. For me 3 min isn’t long enough. Try that sometime if you just wanna freeze your legs longer. The inflammation is so bad at my age over 35 after a 2-3hr walk hike or sk8 sesh. Check my patented fitness gear. It’s an an epic improvement to a foam roller adding a side wheel. The grips on wheels plus new angles are great for fitness and recovery.

[@JasonGrubb]

That’s cool - it’s different than cold plunging - just to be clear.

[@BrentBehringer]

Hey Jason, what plastic containers do you use to freeze the ice in. Size and brand? I tried this is a couple small plastic buckets and they cracked on my after a couple uses.

[@JasonGrubb]

I just use ones from Walmart... Rubbermade I think. I have cracked some, just gotta be careful when you drop them into the ice bath.

[@Sshea321]

How long does it take the containers to freeze in the ice chest you have? And do you put the lid on or take it off the containers?

[@dankehrig3419]

This has been my new routine as well. I was looking for a way to get more ice cheaper and this is a pretty decent solution! Like you said it takes a bit longer than 24 hrs to freeze the blocks but then there us also the space it takes up in the freezer. So if you have an extra freezer or an upright freezer where you dont have to move a bunch of stuff every time you get in it, its an awesome hack! Unfortunately i dont have either of those so im stuck looking for a chiller or paying for ice. I do love the hack though it definitely saves on Cash!!! Thnx for the video 8)

[@JasonGrubb]

An extra freezer is definitely the right way to do it. I do use a chiller now.

[@emptydog1109]

I’m taking plastic tubs did you put in the sink to wash dishes in. Fill one or two of those with water put in your refrigerator, if you have a room. In the morning, it’ll be just above freezing, depending on how cold are refrigerators. Mine is just about the freezing level.

[@JasonGrubb]

Sure - that could work... But you'd need a LOT of water for the size of the Ice Barrel

[@simonbeer5259]

That’s a great routine you have there,I just bought a massive 2nd hand chest freezer from a local kebab shop for £150 lined it with a pool liner for simplicity and to cover the kebab holes in base😂set a timer for it to come on 1-2 hrs a day to keep it around 5degrees,cheep as chips 👍👍

[@thomasfender2030]

Looks awesome. I have been trying water bottles but that method sucks, and I can't be buying 40lbs of ice a day either. What kind of containers are those? And how long does it take before the ice will come out of the container?

[@JasonGrubb]

These are cheap ones from Walmart, but they can break on ya. Just had a comment recommending Waterbrick containers - worth a look. The ice comes out in a couple minutes, tops.

HI JASON, WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE ICE MOLD CONTAINERS AND DO THEY LAST LONG OR CRACK?

Can you use the already cold water out of the barrel to fill the containers then fill the barrel with the tap as the barrel water is going to warm up regardless in 24hr

[@JasonGrubb]

Not a bad idea!

[@chrisdonnell2575]

Nice so just 50 lbs of ice and about 20-30 mins to cool? Curious your height and weight I'm 6'4" and 260lbs mostly muscle.

[@JasonGrubb]

I'm 5'8" 190lbs so a little more compact lol.

[@ME-vk5fi]

You can buy ice packs. The ones that can also be heated up or frozen.

[@JasonGrubb]

Grat idea!

[@joshmcvoy6357]

Empty all the ice out each time and then use warm/hot water in each container and they will actually freeze faster btw!!

[@JasonGrubb]

Really?!

[@garagegorilla5x5]

What about frozen gallon water jugs?

[@JasonGrubb]

Totally! I just liked the tubs myself.

[@cameronharvey341]

Hey man if you reused the water from the icebath instead of the hose water, you'll use less energy and maybe even get all of your buckets to freeze within the 24 hours! It's what I do and works a treat!

[@JasonGrubb]

Great idea!

[@frankgjr]

I do ice baths twice a week. Sauna for 15 minutes. Cold for 3. Sauna for 12. Cold for 3. The warm water around you and moving is so true. Haha.

[@JasonGrubb]

Nice

[@yobabybubba]

Awesome...do you live in the toy hauler?

[@JasonGrubb]

Sure do!

[@yobabybubba]

@@JasonGrubb Awesome. You said you're on a 3 month trip across country and back. What will you do when you get back ?

[@WinTheWarWithMe]

How often do you change out the water?

[@JasonGrubb]

about every 2-3 weeks.

[@justin_j_bowen]

@@JasonGrubbdo you use anything to keep the water clean? A filter pump? Hydrogen peroxide? Salt? 2-3 weeks seems like a good amount of time without having to do much.

[@JasonGrubb]

@@justin_j_bowen I use spa treatment (shock and conditioner).

[@justin_j_bowen]

@@JasonGrubb do you feel like you need to rinse off after to get the chemicals off? That’s the only thing I would be annoyed with. I like to get out and be done

[@absbi0000]

How cold does the water get?

[@JasonGrubb]

it depends on the ambient temperature outside… Somewhere between 40 and 50°

[@surftheglobe1396]

How often do you need to change the water?

[@JasonGrubb]

About every 3-4 weeks.

My dude!

[@coachclay3319]

It’s funny how getting in the ice is never easy no matter how often I do it. I never ‘want’ to get in, but Om always glad I did.
