Anyone else take an ice cold shower after a workout?

I imagine that’s what heaven feels like. It’s perfect.

Moderately cold but after getting in hot and gradually turning it colder.

Cold (not ice cold) shower after 30 min sauna is pretty great.

quote:I take a cold shower almost every morning, but not sure how to get it "ice cold". Do you have a method for that? What temp have you measured it at? In the summer, the lowest mine seems to go is 58ish. In the winter, maybe as low as 53.

There is research that shows you lose gains if you cold plunge/shower right after a workout. I think you’re supposed to wait a certain amount of time.

I was forced to take too many cold showers when we didn’t have hot water in medical school, so no thank you!

Not after a workout. But a cold shower while suffering with a winter cold is a slice of heaven.

the research is only cold plunge, cold showers don't have the same effect in regards to after a workout.

Only after doing yard work in July and August. I'll start out with it warm but not hot, and once I've washed all the dirt and grass off, gradually cool it down. The last couple of minutes is pure cold water and I feel great afterwards.
When I work out, typically later in the evening, I need a good 30 minutes to cool down before I even think about getting in the shower. If I jump right in, I get clean and start to cool off, but I'm still running hot and end up sweating a little more even after I get out. So I typically start the laundry to wash the workout clothes, put away some dishes and reload the dishwasher, and then hop in the shower.

You should wait 6 hours after training for cold therapy. Let your body do its thing on its own.
Or just do it because you like it. Cool with that too!!
