For the last three weeks i've been taking cold showers instead of hot. I started doing this after reading a few different articles that explained the benefits of these showers. Not sure how credible the research is but apparently taking cold showers regularly is known to provide positive results such as healthier skin faster mucle recovery from exercise and even boosts in testosterone. So far i dig it but havent seen many results other than being less sluggish because it really wakes you up. Anyone else hear about this or do it?
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Cold Showers. Benefits?

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

The science behind the supposed benefits is very shaky at best but if you like it's doing to you, keep doing it

also known as a scottish shower or james bond shower. Yes I have them every other day, start off really nice and hot then BAM ice cold for a few minutes. The changes are not overly noticeable as they are not overly powerful but yes they are there subtle and all.
Along with the skin it is also supposed to help the hair as well, Increase blood flow as well as muscle recovery. you will see a lot of professional athletes and bodybuilders use an ice bath after a strenuous exercise to aid in recovery.
Personally I have them just because you feel so good after one. A scottish shower, a straight razor shave and some decent cologne with some nice threads and I am good to go

There's some research behind it that says that some sort of weight loss can occur by taking cold baths/cold showers.
If you can take it on a daily basis, go for it. For me, I would rather eliminate one unhealthy food per day as that is much easier

You can also put a bucket of water out to get blastingly cold and then bring it into the shower with you and dump it over your head. The russians swear by this and call it body hardening. Maybe they're right. It is said to strengthen the immune system.
