/csg/ cold showers general

Is this the new bioscience fad?

It's best to start hot in a shower to open your pours and clean, then finish cold to close them.

I have a warm shower and use a body moisturiser afterwards.....cleared up any spots or acne on my back. Then I have a proper warm, 3 pass shave using a double edge razor and decent shaving soap. I use an alum block where I shaved and quickly wipe a toner over my face. I splash with cold water too close my pores before using aftershave on my beard area and a lemongrass and Camillia moisturiser on by nose, forehead and neck. Finally I use a dab of post shave balm on my beard area.

Why you guys try to torture yourselves is beyond me......next you'll be abandoning sleeping on beds and sleeping on the floor instead.

Underrated post

true alphas are sadists

only cucks are masochists

if you only love the pain of pushing yourself, you get good at everything you do over time. If you only love hurting others, then you become a sociopath. Perhaps it is all of the first and none of the second, or all of the first and some of the second, but you need masochism to be good enough to stand out.

>tfw Bond is a masochist

youre sadist to yourself

the only pain you should enjoy is the pain of discipline

>warmies

kek

Anyway I can only do them at night because I'm a grumpy bitch in the morning.

This is one of the dumbest troll/memes on Veeky Forums, right up there with nofap, and not using soap or shampoo.

If you fall for this: Enjoy your SINUSITIS and potentially PNEUMONIA.

Know why it's called a 'cold'? Because there are virii that thrive in temperatures below normal body temperature. Your sinuses are generally warm enough that they don't survive, but if you catch a chill (from, say, SHOWERING IN COLD WATER IN THE FALL AND WINTER) you run a much higher risk of getting infected by the virus. Enjoy your NO GAINS when you're sick and can't go to the gym!

Also lowering your body temperature with a cold shower puts a strain on your immune system, which can open the door to other infections -- like PNEUMONIA.

There's a REASON we seek warmth and not cold: SURVIVAL.

Really, seriously, honestly, you guys are smart enough not to fall for this dumb shit, right?

Applying cold to injured or sore muscles selectively can be therapeutic, and short cold soaks after really hard workouts can speed recovery, but not every day!

Alternatively- what about flashing cold at the end of your shower?

Dumbest fucking post I've ever read. Provide sources or shut the fuck up.

Whatever gets you off I guess, but it won't do anything for you.

I don't have to 'provide sources' for well-known facts anyone can google, and for common sense. Stop posting retarded trolling, faggot. It's not even funny, it's just pathetic and you're making a fool of yourself.

>YOU'LL GET SINUSITUS AND PNEUMONIA IF YOU DO COLD SHOWERS
>but im the one trolling
Just as I thought, you're a retard with nothing to offer. Fuck off with your fear-mongering you know-nothing sack of shit.

She has the body/skin of a heroin junkie. I'm gonna do whatever the opposite is of anything she suggests.

>implying pores open and close with water temperature

I can post sources proving you wrong if you want, "warm" is fucking optimal for any number of contaminants...its why we put food in a refrigerator, not a fucking warmerator.

>warmerator
Do you mean like an oven, user?

I only have them in our unbearably hot summers

in winter I'll just end my morning shower with a minute or two of cold blast to wake me up

This didn't work for me. Just jumping in right a head to a what feels like a sub zero shower works better for me. Just do it. When you are under the cold stream only the first few seconds feel like a demon is trying to possess your body. After that you just feel alpha as fuck. The best feeling tho, is after you get out. The whole body feels tingly and alive.

love this board idea

What about people bathing themselves before hot/warm water was accessible? Did everyone die from pneumonia. There are tons of proof and sources that indicate that cold showers are good for you, especially men. Do your research before posting, faggot.
OR even better, continue to watch porn, jerk off like the little cuck that you are, enjoy your hot steamy showers and hang yourself.

no
I can't think of any type of warm equivalent to a refrigerator. other than a restaurant hot line which is meant for VERY short term food storage.

Sorry but I like mirin my veins in the hot/warm water.

Dat outer labia

The Scandinavian practice of immersing children in freezing water is proven to reduce colds and minor ailments. Stop talking based off "common sense" when you're actually just ranting with no basis for an opinion.

>What about people bathing themselves before hot/warm water was accessible?

You mean those times when people died more frequently of conditions like pneumonia?

>There are tons of proof and sources that indicate that cold showers are good for you

Then you shouldn't have any trouble posting them, which you seem to have avoided

you've got to be kidding me
are you fucking serious with this routine? how long do you spend in the bathroom every morning?
i can't afford more than 15-20 minutes in the bathroom in the morning and that has to be enough for shitting, showering, brushing teeth, shaving and hair

>Then you shouldn't have any trouble posting them, which you seem to have avoided

And you seem to have done exactly the same in reeling off a load of uncited claims in your original post.

>inflicting discomfort on yourself claiming it makes you more manly

Welcome to Veeky Forums

What about right after workouts? Does it affect recovery times and can be detrimental to one's overall health?

Serious question.

>what is medicine
not the same user but seriously. google up
you ever wonder why people get sick much easier in winter? what he mentioned are since facts and you calling the post stupid without bothering to research any of the claims just outs you either a troll or a child

I have been doing it for a week now with a break over the weekend.
My skin has cleared up but the main reason I tried it is to help me sleep.
Also I get very mild blue days often, its supposed to help with that.
Basically just step under it freezing cold and gasp for a minute. I find it helps if your head is the first thing to get hit.

I thought the Veeky Forums is gay meme was overblown, Yet here you are

You mean welcome to reality

I-i-i sleep on the floor. Don't even have a bed anymore

Pores don't actually close.

>not doing opposite and shower in 60c++ degrees.

Cold shower works great when you're cryin in it godfuckingdammitshitfuck

How will you ever fight in the upcoming post election civil war if you can't even handle cold water for 10 minutes lol

faggot
