I play rugby for my school, and just wondered if i have a cold shower will it have any benefit to my muscles? I'm asking this because occasionally i get cramp in my calves.
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
Hot shower vs Cold shower

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Cold bath!
Whenever my dad does hard training or has been playing lots of football he has a cold bath. One of my friends does a lot of running and he has an ice cold bath after. When my muscles ache from the gym or something my dad always tells me to have a cold bath. (Although I never do it, I go and have a hot bath with scented candles and relaxing music - bliss!)

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

There is nothing like jumping in a cold tub or ice cold water. Supposedly, there are a lot of health benefits to taking showers/baths in cold water.

Thanks for all the advice guys, i'll take it into account for all my future washes lol
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

I have LBP, lower back pain from lifting and it has killed my progress because I have to stop all exercise!!! I tried this contrast shower last night and the cold water is brutal!!! Once the hot comes in it makes the whole thing worth it!!!
My respect goes out for a Navy Seal because that cold water is no joke!!!!!!!!
At first, it almost takes your breathe away because your body does not how to respond.
I am going to continue trying this as a test of will!!! It is a unique experience, that is for sure.

LOL really, doctor? I dont know about the testosterone and immunity thing but it sure as hell wakes you up.The Proof said:
The basis behind the contrast bath/shower is that the cold causes vasoconstriction and has an anesthetic effect, while the heat causes vasodilation. This shunting effect of alternating vasoconstriction/vasodilation is thought to remove inflammatory metabolites and thus promote faster healing. The thermal component provides pain relief.
I swear by the contrast method and so do a lot of athletes. It has nothing to do with being a pvss, it is just more effective. Of course, ice baths can work wonders on their own as well.

Take the james bond shower.
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

So..... where does the golden shower fit in and what benefits does it provide? I am just asking....:crackup:
On a more serious note and something I am more down with. The contrast shower is getting easier to do and I look forward to it. It is a lot easier to start with lukewarm H2O then cold. I can tolerate that much better then starting cold from go.
