Title: Icing balls to naturally boost T levels (not trolling)
Post by: fast does lie on August 27, 2017, 04:47:36 pm
I was wondering if ice bucket baths could damage the balls, as it feels like you got hit in the balls when your nuts are sunken in ice.

Surprisingly I stumbled upon quite the opposite research:

LMFAO.

I'd never sink my balls in ice .. well, I hope I never have too. I personally wouldn't mess around with that. If anything, maybe find a place where you can take some full ice baths? I'd definitely do ice baths.. seems like it could be very beneficial.

Cold showers are the shit. I take one every day, sometimes up to 3x a day. Dunno about effects on T but it's a good controlled way to work on your willpower and get accustomed to forcing yourself to deal with discomfort.

 :highfive:

nice, I do the same, but following a very hot shower. So, really hot for a while, then adjust it to really cold and enjoy that for a few minutes.

tons of contrast shower studies improving recovery and even potential hormonal benefits iirc, but from my experience I just enjoy the transition from scolding to freezing. hah

a straight up cold shower from the start is pretty brutal.
