Wow what a hard badass, not even scared of cold water in a tub

[@tuneboyz5634]

Bro you don't understand bro Like everyone else is like partying while I'm sitting in the tub filled with ice cold water for 5 minutes after my 45 min workout, I'm grinding bro this is what real men do 💪🏻 they work hard for themselves

[@Is30old]

During college in the ATs office: 10 mins still, 5 mins with the jet on. Those 5 mins were tough!

[@B3L13V3R]

Yep, I would stay very still while I was learning. And then over time start to move my arms around and realize very quickly that I got cold again. Nice way to make the water last longer too when you’re only using ice and you don’t have a pump.

[@redplanet667]

totally agree, I take cold showers and if you just stand still you become numb to it but if you keep moving it stays cold, moving around is the way to get the benefit of cold water

[@dmtjnani9951]

Indeed. Although both methods are frighteningly great for me, I have convinced the body to move as often as possible. Lately I have been spinning around every minute for 6 minutes. And always end with three turns right before getting out to honor Ganga.

[@Naitsirk808]

What they don’t tell you about cold water immersion is that the stress hormones are really bad for you and the dopamine is simply there to reward you for not dying from hypothermia! Nobody has lived longer because of cold water immersion.

[@matejadjordjevic2082]

True 👍

[@ReganNA-qi4qy]

Why the F would I get into an ice bath?

[@Sinix946]

Some studies say it’s good for you

[@karnell5761]

Yea its good for physical and mental health. Gives you more energy... Look it up

[@Thebettermaster]

It teaches you self control.

[@SJDJFJFSKSXNDJWJQI]

Because its tough

[@zachmadden9077]

@@Thebettermasterif you believe you need an ice bath to understand basic control over your actions and emotions then i have a bridge to sell you

[@basketball_matty]

I hate people who dog people for doing something out of their comfort zone even if their annoying people posting it for viess

[@CoreyGolphenee]

They are digging them because the people that think ice baths are some fucking “primal” trail of suffering tend to live the most pampered and pain free lives. Rogan being a prime fucking example lmao.

[@colbiashimaru]

You dont get the point. If you are comfortable, you arent going out of your comfort zone. Every bath should suck as bad as the 1st time, and to do that, you have to make it harder on yourself as you get better. That is what he is saying. No first timer is gonna sit stoically and be all cool on their first 50 plunges. So your emotions are misplaced

[@damequish]

That’s why cold showers work so good if it’s lwinter time when the water is cold

[@yaseemanac]

Makes sense.

[@pr9039]

Facts

[@leonidkotkovskiy9097]

BS! I wanna see video with him doing ice bath. Any ice bath it’s very hard feeling. Some people won’t enjoy it at all.

[@higherentropy903]

it's so silly... impress us with something that actually matters and doesn't only benefit you. You're screaming for people to admire you so bad and don't even notice. Like hey, look at me, I'm SO tough, I do ice baths. Pf, who cares. That crap doesn't matter. It's so insignificant.

[@aidancarver8276]

I’m sure you know the science better than this guy because you’ve spent your entire life studying neuroscience right?

[@higherentropy903]

@@aidancarver8276 My point was about how stupid it is to brag about this. Are ice baths a bit beneficial for your well being? Probably. I'm not criticizing or questioning that. My point was that he's bragging and comparing how tough he is because of how well he can endure ice baths. Like who gives a crap. I'm just tired of people online talking about insignificant things like they are soooo meaningful. This dude just wants to feed his ego and you're apparently absolutely not seeing that.

[@NoLimitWithinIt]

For me it’s the opposite, I feel warmer moving around in cold water compared to standing

[@bonolo4427]

First question...how cold is too cold...???

[@easyfmoney9835]

Here’s an idea heat the water to about 115 degrees only real men can handle warmer than Luke water

[@ruubensuits229]

Haha! I've done it the bold way quite a bit!

[@huberhacks]

You are one bold lad also I should say 😀

[@Badger5280]

Why do people do those anyways?

[@TatsuKan]

[@Matthew-k3n8d]

Yeah sure a thermal sheath 😂

[@nightshadehelis9821]

Real talk, are ice baths legit? This isn't just placebo? For you guys that do it, you swear by ice baths?

[@JC-pn7ji]

It’s still horrible either way and beneficial

[@cristianlopez470]

Showing off is a fools idea of glory

[@L.F.D.E.]

All the wimps in the comments are mad 😂

[@bjdr2001]

Somebody’s always got a complain about something you create a thermal sheets that’s interesting because when people fall into frozen lakes, they freeze this frozen sheet does not protect them

[@Fishmanist]

🤨 freak

[@zekebennefeld3733]

Bullshit lmao…just get tf in the water and do your thing who cares how you getting in

[@Leagacyoftruth]

Ice baths have no benefits so stupid

[@darkwoodmovies]

I prefer a nice hot shower. And guess what, I’m doing fine
