Is the outside of your freezer getting really hot? These freezers are designed to keep stuff around -4 degrees Fahrenheit (-20 degrees Celcius). For recovery from athletic activity they recommend plunging in 47 degrees Fahrenheit (8.3 degrees Celcius) until core body temperature drops 1 degree. Then there is the ice cold plunge of between 40 - 30 degrees Fahrenheit (4.4 - 0 degrees Celcius) for 2 to 3 minutes. I've read that when initially cooling the water down it's best to put several bags of ice in the water to get the water temperature below the range where the freezer will struggle. I'm mostly interested in the athletic recovery part and don't want to go through making one of these just to find out the freezer is not going to be able to handle it. Thanks. Excellent video. I bought John Richter's book. Plenty of important tips I hadn't heard anywhere else.
