@shadowrealm8937 Yes and it covers things that noone else mentions. When it comes to content creation it's hard to monetise the truth. It's hard to get you to click and watch. Most guys are looking to get fast results with no effort. Example tongkat ali and other supplements that will increase your testosterone. Truth is that this wasnt easy, it was hard work, there are many things to consider. If you are prepared do make the effort the results are there to be had. Looking for quick results will only hold you back
@@shadowrealm8937 I have never used it. But it has reported benefits. Thing to consider is that there is no one supplement that will increase your testosterone levels indefinitely. Some supplements help with preventing nutrient deficiencies. But many testosterone boosting supplements is that tolerance is built up quickly with all these it's best to cycle or to just use now and then for a quick boost
I'm doing this: Basically, I get into 3C to 5 C of water for 3 minutes or as long as I can. Then, I get out and start doing push-ups and kettlebell swings. You feel amazing
Are you still doing this? Bit annoyed didn’t mention the guys name. I swear there is some sort of war on testosterone or everyone would know about this if had that affect on test and didn’t interfere with strength gains, rather probably amplifys with that test increase.

Yeah lol, and fall isn't much better some years.. I drove through the entirety of North Dakoty 4 weeks ago when it was -10 wind chill and black ice for the last two hours to Glendive. 5 semis in the ditch, 2 of which were jackknives and shut down 94 going the opposite direction.

@@zoecheng2756 I have been doing it 5 days a week prior to training and couldn't feel better. One thing that I have always struggled with sleep and this has improved drastically.

I would think that it would help improve muscle building considering everything contracts to protect your organs from the cold then releases when you are warming up. It's still time under tension. Blood flow and Cardiac output are the same. A Pump is a pump.
@reece georgens unfortunately my knowledge in this subject is very limited so I cannot add anything ;< I guess we would have to do some research in this area to find out why some people claim that :p
After you train hard, your body ‘fills’ your muscles with blood (blood flow is increased to that area) which is partly why they feel so tight and pumped. Your body is giving them all sorts of nutrients, oxygen and all the other good stuff in your blood to help them repair. Cold water causes vasoconstriction which makes the blood vessels much thinner and greatly reduces blood flow in that area (which is why they always recommend a cold pack to reduce inflammation/swelling on a wound) but this would mean you are restricting your muscle from getting all of the good stuff it wants, when it needs it most (right after a workout). Hope this helps to explain it. Don’t take a cold shower after a workout. It won’t completely kill your gains or anything but it definitely doesn’t help
One reason cold showers afterward can limit your gains...is that frequent cold exposure speeds up your metabolism naturally because your body has to work harder to maintain its' core temp. You'll burn calories much faster, which will leave your muscles starving. It was crazy when I first started doing cold showers every day, I dropped 20 lbs over about 6 months without changing anything else in my dietary habits, it got to a point where I had to take a break because i don't have a lot of body fat to spare.
You take regular testosterone injections yet you still need to raise your test levels? That sounds like an addiction or your TRT/HGH clinic is stiffing you😂
What about catching pneumonia or some s*** Joe Rogan , Not everybody's got bad a** insurance like you a lot of us work for the UFC we don't have insurance.

Isn't this the opposite of warming up your muscles before working out. Seems like this will increase injuries

I don't think he will go straight to big weights after the cold bath. Warmup is always part of a workout.
Stretch and warmup, just like always you'll be fine 👌

I don’t see how getting into a cold shower after working out reduces muscle rebuilding. I don’t think that’s right.
