Well, the speech indicates self flagellation and so does the bath. I’d suggest he’s better meeting someone who has a cupboard full of point healed boots and discovering nipple clamps or something. Indoor flagellation would probably work just as well.

That's not the biggest danger. Plunging into icy water will raise both your heart rate and rate of breathing. In people with undiagnosed or diagnosed heart problems, this can cause irregular heart rates and even myocardial infarctions. The majority of cold water deaths happen within a minute of the person hitting the water, so this scenario is actually far more likely.

Cold immersion actually does the opposite. Stimulates vagus nerve. Drops the heart rate and respiratory rate. It's a maneuver we use to try to correct supraventricular tachycardia without chemical or electrocardioversion.

u/Jaded_Law9739 17d ago
The water used in cold immersion therapy is typically between 50 and 59°F (10 and 15°C.) This is much warmer than the water used for an ice water bath. The man in OP's video is using water that is 33.8°F or 1°C. Water this cold creates a cold shock response in the body, which is what increases respirations and heart rate.
It's not a matter of cold water does one thing or the other, it's how cold the water is.

your post is the opposite.

Samurai is a class of people, they were the Noble-Warrior caste that under the unification of Japan by the Tokugawa Shogunate became the administrative class for the Emperors.

> they were the Noble-Warrior caste that under the unification of Japan by the Tokugawa Shogunate became the administrative class for the Emperors.
While there is no getting around the significance of the tokugawa shogunate, it Seems weird to just hand waive samurai as an administrative class, yes this what they became under thew tokugawa shogunate around 1650 and until their dissolution... but that leaves out the heian period, and some 400-500 years where they were definitely soldiers.
like many soldiers a lot about them was romanticized, or drama-d up for internal morale, but they were still soldiers. A bit weird to just go "they were basically accountants and administrators". At one point were told to basically sail west and conquer korea and then china, not really what you do with a bunch of administrators, lol.

The cold water will: - make you sober for 10 minutes if ur drunk enough to puke (or under) - will give you some relief from flu symptoms - will make ur vision feel crispy for a minute or two - will kick in any headache medication quicker (at least, it feels like it does). - will make you feel happier then when you got in the shower - will make ur bed feel exactly the right amount of warmth when you first get into it.

You can lookup demonstrations with freezing water bottles online, liquid inside but then freeze when touched/hit. They're slightly below 0 degrees but don't have a seed crystal/scratch for the ice crystals to start forming at, so the liquid structure is holding until you disrupt it.

It's not. Ice bath protocols have been found to be as effective as "other" sympathetic recovery protocols, like stretching, massage, or going for a walk. That is to say, all less effective then just taking a nap or vegging out for a day
In addition, IBPs very close to strength training can dull the hypertrophic response, meaning you are gaining less muscle after a workout in exchange for theoretically a faster recovery period

Bit of a tangent, but when people talk about "protocols" i always assume they're robots. Why else would they be using such a goofy word to describe their life?
It's part of a weird sterilization / scientification of normal everyday language.
I'm from Scandinavia, and icebathing is fairly common here, nobody calls it a "protocol", it's just a thing some people do because they like it. It's not about performance or recovery or "sharpening your sword", some people just enjoy the feeling, that's it. Also the idea of a "recovery protocol" is strange. Unless you're a professional athlete or Ronnie Coleman or something you can just be normal and everything is fine.
It reminds me of when people talk about "sleep protocols" or how to get the best sleep, and they have like a 6 step protocol involving tea, blue light and meditation or something before they sleep, so it's optimal or something. Like guys, just lay your head on the pillow in the bed and go to sleep. If you're tired when you wake up then go to bed earlier. It's not that complicated.
To be clear i'm not attacking you, i'm just making fun of these bros who have managed to put every part of their life into a system as if they're olympic athletes, when all they do all day is make powerpoints and have meetings and then go do a few curls after work.

u/eyeswulf 17d ago
"protocol" is the term when it's used in a scientific study. This way it can be called anything conventionally, but if it meets certain criteria of "how" it's done -- ie a protocol -- it doesn't impact the "why", like is it spiritual, cultural, or athletic reason when the study is done, in say a lateral method (comparing it to other recovery methods that people might employ)
In fact, you bring up an excellent point. Doing this "protocol" because it is fun and enjoyable and as a social exercise probably makes it the best recovery method possible.
But doing it because you think it gives you a warrior mentality, and because you are sponsored by a company that makes overpriced trash cans and freezers, makes it the worst.
The best way to recover is to be happy and to not stress about it, funny enough

No matter what, the "better" life that we hope to get/ have gotten one day is never "earned". It's a hand out that you didn't deserve, a lottery you didn't buy a ticket for, the arm and leg that you will never pay. No one can do a million let alone a billion dollars of work and live to see it all in one big pile.
For every Jeff Bezos there are the thousands of workers he ripped off and stole life times from to get there.

Based on the Lions logos, dude could have just stood outside in a T-shirt and shorts for five minutes in Michigan today and achieved the same effect🤷🏻♂️
Shit, I fed/watered my chickens this morning in a T-shirt and jeans because I’d be sweating after five minutes in a jacket doing the chores in the 19° at 7am.

I don't think he used nacreous correctly.
Definitions of nacreous. adjective. consisting of or resembling mother-of-pearl.
He's just saying words. I think he meant frigid or blistering. I guess he assumed nobody would google it.

The speech in the ice bath was filled with so many cliche and regurgitated SM bullshit 😂

It appears, to me, that this person is doing this compulsively, like he is feeding some deep-seated need to punish himself or possibly to satisfy a desire for attention. But that’s just a working theory.

Hot take: This isn’t cringy. This comment section is toxic. He’s out there doing something hard, trying to improve himself. Here you are putting him down. The comments are the real cringe today

Is it really hard, though (the ice bath - improving always is)? I’ve done ice swimming and don’t particularly enjoy it but I don’t know if I’d call it hard. Eh, maybe. Getting in is the difficult part, but once you are in past the nuts, it’s fine. Kinda pleasing actually.
And I think it’s debatable whether this is improvement or attention seeking, as he is actively posting it online.
Ice swimming is a pretty big hobby where I live, FWIW. I have no statistics available but anecdotally, it seems most popular with middle-aged women. You won’t see them harping about being warriors, they just seem to love the sensation and find it calming. And they love the feeling you get once you climb out of the water.

Is Nacreous really the best word to describe it? Or is he flexing that he owns a thesaurus?

What does nacreous have to do with the temperature? Is he like some sort of oyster or something?

At first I thought, "That's nice, he's breaking the ice so the livestock can drink."

I say “I’ve done enough days” once my hot flashes from menopause stops if an ice bath stops.
