yes — game changer

look up Andrew Huberman podcast for more nuanced details for easing into cold showers

With Joe Rogan? The most recent one?

If you put it in perspective, we shower everyday, and there are so many health benefits, that it’s almost stupid to not do it. Easier said than done though, but this are those small life adjustments with big benefits if you succeed implementing it in your routine.

Does anyone do cold showers on a daily base? I tried it a few years ago but I quit after a few days. My college at work is quite invested into it, so he sparked my interest in it again.

Tried it today but it’s so horrible. A minute feels absurdly long

I did it for a bit, but I'm not sure there's anything amazing about it

Wim hof is the OG cold shower guy, i did cold showers for 3 years. Unfortunately, my sinuses got super fucked from a diving trip and i get sick if i do cold showers every day.

Also try in your pre-workout routine, mine was coffee-shit-cold shower

What were the noticeable benefits?

 

[GordoDeCentral]

Improved mood, i can feel my metablism is up a notch, and skin is tighter. Apparently it also improves immunity.

iirc he did a full 2 hour episode just on that depending on how deep down the rabbit hole you want to go

Thanks dude. Will watch the longer episode any time soon.

Tried it a second time today. Is it okay to build it up during a shower session? Last time I went from hot to so cold that I struggled to breath due to the impact. Today I want slowly, my body adapted so it became easier.

Yeah that's what I did — good luck

What's your current split?

Getting reports about the state of the gym from my friend, sounds like even worse of a packed asylum than before the accident. Might legit go from $25 to $55 a month just to avoid the bullshit and waiting a half hour to get a squat rack.

the nice gyms are worth it imo. I’m rocking with LA fitness since it’s right next to my house and it’s never crowded but if I still lived in the city, I’d go to the $50 one, it was nice as hell

Yeah agreed also paying a bit more makes me feel more obligated to go

Like foods not supplements?

I eat a lot of broccoli, peas, grapes, bananas and walnuts. I eat a lot of cereal (weetabix type shit, I dunno how universal that is, and also granola) and quite a lot of bread.

Bruh where's the meat?

I just bought an indoor grill and am enjoying cooking meat and veggies on it. I eat a lot of eggs, cheese, greek yogurt too

Ah I don't eat meat. Most of my protein intake comes from wheat or some kind of bean, one way or another. Actually usually the protein part of my meals these days is some sort of processed or semi-processed meat substitute (primarily because I am depressed and try to make it easy for myself to eat) Some of it is really good, really great macros anyway and works well alongside some fresh veg and some carbs.

Wasn't sure if processed foods came under 'food to improve health', so didn't mention it and stuck to the fresh boys with my list
