Saunas

I'm in the US, idk if it's the same

In the US because of OSHA there must be some kind of barrier between your asshole and the bench. I generally just sit on a towel, but that makes some people uncomfortable so I wrap it around myself when others are in. It's really up to preference, but most facilities will require you to at least sit on some kind of cloth.

I figured as much, guess I'll just head in with a towel and see what everyone else is doing

What's the optimal order of showering and sauna? Hot shower->sauna->cold shower?

most saunas here are garment-free by default.
Just wrap a towel around your waist and go inside.
You can sit like this or spread the towel out and sit on it, making sure no sweat drops on the wood.

Also, sauna is fucking god tier. You should definitely make use of it if accessible that easy

quick warm shower to get clean -> sauna -> cold shower

Did you want them in your mouf?

>not warming up the comfiest way possible

Another Finn here.

In public saunas you generally need to use a disposable butt sheet ( provided by the facility usually ) or bring your own ( like a regular small towel ).

Normally people here go naked but it's not that unusual for people to wear towels. I'd assume in 'murrica people would wear towels unless there's rules against that.

>A lot of people just come in there for a couple minutes fully clothed to warm up before a workout.

This is disgusting and these people need to be shot.

I go to a commercial gym and most people are fully clothed inside except for some guys who will take off their shirt

>This is disgusting and these people need to be shot.
Ei vitun jenkit saunaan lämmittelemään ennen urheilusuoritusta ei jumalauta.

>drenching your clothes in sweat for no reason
Wew

I don't like it after a normal gym workout but on rest days it feels great.

Anb a spurdo sparde to yuo ttwo :DDDDDDD

Saunas have been shown to increase levels of hgh your body produces if used consistently, also they will help your body improve its thermoregulation. In short saunas are fucking great for you

How do I find a place with a sauna? I can't seem to find a gym with one near me.

Wellness centres have saunas

Fucking kek

Do you have an LA fitness near you? Mine has one

Thousand years of social evolution thrown out of a window just so you can show your cock to other people.

>enjoying sauna alone in the morning after working out, as one does
>incredibly hot guy walks in
>have to leave
Saunas should have individual rooms

>finland
>social evolution
heh

maybe lol :)

Somewhat inspired by this thread I tried my gyms sauna today, went in with just a towel. At least in my part of the US (Southwest) etiquette seems to be wear a towel; there was a young guy in just shorts and an old guy in just a towel in there, so I kept my towel on.

It felt glorious btw

Glad I convinced you to see the light. Saunas are pure gold

The cold shower afterwards wae the real treat desu

>few seconds of contemplative silence

>hey wouldn't that make him the world champion?

I passed out after improper rehydration after a sauna and hot bath.

What rules should I keep in mind to not do that again? I'm too nervous to use the sauna again, but I'd like to go back in the future.

I love the sauna at my gym.

Today I had a five minute cold shower, sat in the sauna for fifteen then finished it up with another cold shower. Felt fucking amazing for the rest of the day despite that fact I'm withdrawing from caffeine.

Let the past die.

>lying anonymously

whatever helps you cope

Anyone with even a vague understanding of the mesolimbic pathway and nucleus accumbens knows you're full of shit.

Found the dickhead.

Who was bitching about caffeine withdrawals?

Pretty sure I was doing the opposite.

Are you saying that caffeine withdrawals aren't uncomfortable?

Maybe not, but definitely has something to prove anonymously.

We have ascended beyond your outdated norms

I bet you are fun at parties.

lol

>autism, the post

Try hydrating properly

>Hot showers are bad for you, you should take cold showers to boost your test instead.
>Saunas are fine though.
Veeky Forums ladies and gentlemen.

For one thing, a sauna and a hot shower are entirely different. For another thing, after a workout the effects can change and a warm shower can be more desirable (mostly since cold showers can hamper muscle growth and hypertrophy right after a workout, although they help with recovery)

>people just come in there for a couple minutes fully clothed to warm up before a workout.

Brainlet

Shameless homos here in Norway always sit naked with their legs spread, i use a towel because am not a degenerate infidel
