To be fair…not if we can avoid it lol. Certainly don’t need to be filling bath tubs or trashcans full of ice and volunteering for it

Like I have said in the past though, if you like it and it makes you feel good do it but it’s certainly not helping with fat loss and it’s certainly not optimal but if you like it do it

I found a study that may support what Bilbeau said:

It's a meta-analysis of multiple studies that tracked mostly endurance athletes, but also some rugby players and swimmers. It seems like ice baths can reduce DOMS and RPE in the short term but has no difference from the control group past 24h
quote:

One of the main findings of this review was that post-exercise CWI reduced DOMS and RPE immediately, but with no significant effect on DOMS and RPE at 24 and 48 h


So the one benefit it may have, like Bilbeau said, is for athletes doing doubles. That's essentially what we used it for when I ran. Certainly no real evidence that it aids fat loss or anything like bro science guys claim though.
