Default Contrast Showers, Ice Baths, Cold Showers?
Anyone do them?

I love cold showers, and contrast showers.

I want to try an ice bath, but it is a bit of a hassle IMO

Pain is also reduced, as both hot and cold have anesthetic effects

Taken from Contrast Baths


They application for lifters is reduced soreness, muscle pain, and faster recovery.

Icicles, serious business, people die every year from them.

I've never seen it before... But I would imagine that there are people who have them break off and land on them, some of those fuckers can get pretty big a weigh a lot.
