@@Philipp_-cp2xw But in this samel channel as many other channels are suggesting the cold exposure after work out (specially weight training) is not advisable due to interference with inflammatory response of the body. If so, I think i better can skip cold shower after sauna, and just do a normal shower?

[@andylindsay5211]

@@manvia if I cold shower after sauna or after workout it more so cools me off rather than disrupting inflammation. I haven’t noticed any size loss, and I can still build when I eat more. Now Ice bath however, I save that for early mornings about 12 hrs post workout. Plenty of time for my muscles to recover and be inflamed overnight. I sauna every morning for about 30 min then do 2-3 min ice bath right after. Just my personal experience!

I'm 67 years old and I've been a huge fan of saunas for longer than I can remember. I've been lifting, on and off, since I was 14. My son, who is 31, and I have been weightlifting together for 8-10 years. The sauna is part of our regime and we sit in the sauna before and after our workout. We typically sit in the sauna for approximately 15 minutes before we lift and 15-20 minutes post workout. When I first introduced my son to the sauna I told him it as an old lazy guy's (i.e., me) of warming up (pre-workout) and a way to help your muscles to start recovering post-workout. We're convinced with the benefits and there's no debate (at least for us) with it's medical efficacy and workout benefits. As far as we're concerned the sauna is an integral part of a gym/workout facility. Thanks for video and discussion.

I noticed I feel no soreness after using the sauna post workout...

Today, just post workout I felt sore on my shoulders and after the sauna, the pain and soreness went away. Seems to loosen the muscles and I feel so relaxed after.

[@MrBraffZachlin]

i am pretty sure you don't get the "heat shock" benefit from infrared because they are low temp. it's more of a pre-workout sauna. the traditional sauna is the one shown to help strength and hypertrophy after the workout even

I have a dumb question: why would pre or post workout sauna be any more beneficial than say, a low intensity steady-state treadmill for 20min? Both forms warm up the body, the joints, increase blood flow, etc. There are many "studies" out there claiming low intensity cardio is very beneficial for recovery too. Do they have similar benefits or no?

[@BigManJev]

[@Donnywarrhammer]

I like to do the sauna before because I feel a little stronger. I feel like it's a good way to feel warmed up for your lifting without burning energy. I like the steam after.

[@BrothaBryman]

I really liked the last sentence of this. "if you're doing it, you're doing it and that's all that matters." I think it's optimal to not get comfortable, always keep learning, do the right things as best you can and debunk misinformation but past that- doing things perfectly is splitting hairs and not really sustainable. Its much better to do mostly everything right than to super focus on only one aspect of fitness and think if you only do this one thing perfectly you won't have to do anything else to achieve broader goals. I know It's hard to do all the things, but it's even harder to do them all perfect. It's less about "exactly when" and "how much" to get that extra 5% than it is to just do it in general and get the larger baseline additional 30%.

[@MN-ph4nf]

Regarding the Finnish study about regular sauna use reducing all-cause mortality: cardiovascular events are strongly represented among the causes of death in Finland, so I wonder if the study managed to rule out the possibility that the individuals susceptible to heart disease or stroke etc. might avoid regular sauna use because they are more likely to experience bothersome symptoms whenever they use sauna?

Your early point about performance vs. Building muscle is off. Sauna use can be used pre or post workout for recovery. Studies show Passive heating in a sauna helps MAINTAIN MUSCLE MASS WITHOUT EXERCISE & BOOSTS MUSCLE STRENGTH UP TO 17%, Enhances MUSCLE Mitochondrial Biogenesis and Function by 28% and reduces Skeletal Muscle Atrophy BY 37%.

Hello! We have a conondrum that we are wondering about. If cold hinders hypertrophy and sauna / heat helps hypertrophy. What about doing both? We have a sauna 85 degrees a 4 degrees icebath and after training we do both. What are the effects? Do they help eachother, promote hypertrophy or does it nothing? Or do Ice win over Heat?

I always choose traditional sauna. Infrared has benefits, but you need higher temps (+175°F) for increases in autophagy, heat shock proteins, mTor, & HGH release during deep sleep the next night (need low blood sugar before bed). For real sauna benefots your session needs to be at least 15 minutes (should try for at least 20 minutes) It will be uncomfortable, but that's what is needed for longevity benefits. Consider sauna a type of workout. Similar to resistance training or a cardio session. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger! Good Luck, stay hydrated, & stay up on them electrolytes!!!

Just to be clear: Everyone is advising now not to take a cold shower after weight resistance training. The majority of people do sauna right after work out and then they take a cold shower.

[@UmeshBx]

I don't think it's that deep though. People over analyse this stuff way too much. I take Sauna post-workout and then have a cold shower to help me cool down, before going into the swimming pool or spa. I only really "rinse off" in the cold shower though (so less than 20 seconds). It's really not that deep. Let's say you lose 1% of muscle by having a cold shower post workout, is it really that much of a loss in comparison to the enormous other benefits that cold showers bring?
