>memes disprove science

Haha ok lads

The other pasta is superior

>Real Social Dynamics

>No more Mr. Nice Guy

>Physical exercise increases testosterone level in serum, but these tendencies were not found with cold water stimulation (10% decrease in testosterone upon cold water stimulation).

>Rats chronically exposed to cold-water immersion had decreased levels of testosterone.

>Rats exposed to cold-water immersion had lower ejaculation, lower testosterone, lower quality of spermatozoa.

>Runners and cyclists in a 160 km race across
Alaska had higher cortisol and lower testosterone levels. It's noteworthy that this can just be caused from the great stress caused by the race and not by the cold.

>Meat-processing factory workers who spend around 3.5 hours per day in a cold room had lower testosterone levels.

Good one

He cites studies at the website.

The studies hold little validity.

Because...?

Because you don't like them?

> i come on fit even though i don't workout!
Srsly you should all be exterminated

...

Nah they're from small schools, small programs, not proven. Not random sampling, too many variables. But whatever makes you feel like you don't have low test.

Ive have have Seborrheic dermatitis on my face and scalp for years and the only thing that clears it up is cold showers

>implying that anything that introduces the harshness of nature into modern society is bad
nu-Veeky Forums everyone

Is that actually a meme, do people believe the increased heart rate and anger when being blasted with cold water at 7am is a rise in test??

>clean, floridated , on demand water
>harshness of nature

U so hard, user.

>Carbohydrates? Haven't eaten a gram in months, I'm actually in the process of having carbohydrates removed from my local grocery store. They should be removing them next week. I had to list a reason(s) on the complaint form as to why carbohydrates are bad for humans and should be removed from all stores. Would you care to hear the reasons? Well stay tuned my friend. 2 reasons;

>1. Carbohydrates are literally poison
>2. Insulin is to blame for my poor health

>My local grocer was initially questioning my reasons, but I explained to her that by banning carbohydrates and eating a ketogeninc diet, humans are actually able to perform better and not have insulin cause weight gain. After a long and dry (note that I didn't need any dry foods such as breads, pasta, fruit) debate, I was able to convince her to remove carbohydrates from her store. Now I am living a great life, carb free. I even started forcing my gf to remove all forms of carbohydrates from her diet. I refuse to date an inferior female, and I explained to her they is she can't learn to accept and love a fatty diet as i have then we really have no business being together anyways.

>She's already received a black mark for questioning my NoFap practices stating that she wants my seed and wishes me to release my seed. Should she continue in this non-stoic fashion then I don't see us lasting much longer.

>someone used is always used to comfiness vs someone who knows a little pain

U so naive, user.

For what, preparation for the apocalypse when finally all those hut building youtube videos you've watched will come in handy?

Enjoy the warm fucking shower, your caveman ancestor would have been glad for it after a long day allowing the tribe to buttfuck him for sexual release.

this so much

>caveman ancestor

Because it's better for my skin and hair?

People can't have preferences now. I like cold showers because it makes my skin tingly and I feel more awake. That's it.

> A little pain - a cold shower

Don't put yourself down like that, that's a more seering existential pain than anyone can imagine - but through it you ascend far further than any of the normal sheep.

COLD SHOWERS ZOOOOOOOOOOOO- OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO- OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHH

>push press

> want to know my deadlift routine?

What the fuck did I just read?

I was cursed with manletism since I was an adolescent. I started taking cold showers at the age of 25, now I'm 6'4.

Meme? I don't think so my good sir.

Do people actually not like this site?

I don't go there for lifting advice. mostly just for reading about old school manliness and things

>I have achieved the astronaut badge on r/nofap
>Taking daily cold showers is necessary to my spiritual practices and my gains
>I have been disciplining myself for years and now my dead lifts surprise everyone in the gym

Taking a cold shower doesn't make you tough. Lifting doesn't make you tough. Shitposting doesn't make you tough. Try something that's actually mentally tough, like a martial art.

>writing in a notepad while lifting

>>implying a high bodyfat cuck like that cares about testosterone
Onyl those care about test levels. Just like only fat people care about nutrition.

>''I spend a lot of time thinking of self-improvement, I want to be the best version of myself as I can be and I will achieve that by not masturbating and cold showers''
>''Bodybuilders are fags, real men train for strength''

Rule of thumb:
Anything that feels unpleasant reduced test.

Think about it
>long cardio
>coldness
>horror movies
>working too long
>not fapping
>getting dominated in a fight
>gay porn
>diets

It may not be true 100%, but it's true more often than not.

>>I have achieved the astronaut badge on r/nofap

Heavy weight lifting raises test and it's far from pleasant.

show me any proof cold showers raise testosterone

Is it? It is hard, but it makes me feel great, like a fucking animal.

>Anything that feels unpleasant reduces test.

opposite

Duh just google, it was the same poeple who proved the effectiveness of NoFap.

>Well stay tuned my friend.

lol
o
l

i appreciate your subtle sarcasm but i was looking forward to some fools sending links to art of manliness or livestrong as proof

I havent taken a warm shower since i was 16.

Benefits? Well, my hair is better after i get out and my skin isn't dry. I feel refreshed and alert afterwards, and really good. After a warm shower i feel drained, tired, and cozy.

Mentally there's not much except since you just went through a good bit of suffering from the cold shower, it heightens the threshold for a few hours until your brain forgets about it.

>lifting heavy will make me too muscular and look... like a man

Nope.

who is this whore?

It#s very pleasant, what the fuck?

Carter Cruise

Injections aren't pleasant and yet injecting test E into my butt increases my test. Explain that one genius.

Idiots everywhere

do you know the scene as well from pic related? I just want to watch what amount of squrting made her do this retarded face

> unpleasant
> gay porn

And you're right among them

Top notch contribution to the discussion

I love cold showers, I'm from Texas though so the water from the tap is never freezing cold.

Cold showers are excellent after a hot day

"I'm just naturally alpha bruh, I don't need to waste time with shit like that"

Fuck you, user.

cold showers in near 35 degree celsius weather is normal.

taking cold showers all year round is autistic af.

>I read and listen to podcasts to be manly

>I just will information out of the universe and directly into my brain

No one should use a website or podcast as their only means of getting through the world, but to act like there's nothing of value there is fucking retarded
