I just hate when I get out of the cold water and my metabolism don't have time to adjust, so I spontaneously combust. 😏

As a former competitive swimmer, you want colder training pools because you get hot and sweat during those long pool workouts (yes, you notice yourself sweating in the pool.) When the temp’s too high it’s brutal

Never give up Layne - the world needs you. Stay strong 💪

Phelps admitted that he exaggerated his 10k claim. He was just running his mouth.

My personal anecdote from growing up with a swimming pool in my backyard is, every time I got done swimming I would get very hungry.

Thank you again Layne for all you do.. much appreciated ❤

So the "cold shock protein" apparently "quadruples the rate of protein synthesis". If ONLY WE HAD HUMAN, RANDOMIZED, CONTROLLED TRIALS ... which clearly indicate that cold exposure reduces muscle protein synthesis, and also directly somewhat impair muscle mass accretion and strength over time. Mechanism: check, actual outcome data: check.

Dude, I love that you can actually see the stupid hurting you in your delivery in these videos, the sarcastic setup followed by the fact-based hammer blow of "sit down dimwit", just never gets old. Keep it up :)

Another great video! Thank you sir!

I start nearly all my days with a cold shower. It's wakes me up and I love it. ❤

Not saying I agree with what Gary is saying, but basic physiology demonstrated that when your body gets cold, the metabolism increases to maintain body temperature. I don’t know the exact measurements though.

We aren't addressing the most important science fact too, like my mom said you gotta wait ATLEAST 1 hour after eating before you get in the pool 😤

Man I hate when I'm trying to bulk but it's a hot day, so I take a cold shower and, great... burned 7,000 calories, lost 4kg and back to being 7% body fat...

I worked in a fishing boat in Alaska several years ago, it was cold AF we gained 20 pounds in a 3 month period 😂 eating like crazy, extreme cold makes you really hungry

More facts from Layne! And yeah, swimming makes me wanna eat forever. Well done Layne!

Layne please address how authors of widely cited paper made up the fact that 35% of calories from protein is highly dangerous (deadly!) in general population. They just wrote the claim without citation in a review paper after they laid out unrelated mechanistic argument concerning urea cycle and absolute (gram) amounts of protein. Bilsborough, S.; Mann, N. A Review of Issues of Dietary Protein Intake in Humans. Int. J. Sport Nutr. Exerc. Metab. 2006, 16, 129-152.

another great vid Lane!

I only do bottom level cold showers, for 1.5 years now, not a single warm shower in that time. No effect on my hunger, no effect on fat loss. Effects are on inflammation and energy for me. They’re difficult as well, so there’s the triumph that comes with doing difficult things by choice. I’ve been training hard for 26 years, weights, grappling, running, Love them. But when I want to lose fat or weight. I hit a calorie deficit.

One of my favorite things about fridays is what the fitness thanks

😂😂😂😂 Damn Layne, ya never let down on the tone of your vids. For the algorithm 👌

I like the simple walk off at the end of the WTF's

I do cold immersion every other day in the morning and sauna after active recovery workouts the others days. Anecdotally, on the cold immersion days, I have more energy, therefore, I’m able to endure higher intensity for longer. So I do cold immersion on my high intensity days. My cold immersion protocol is 50-55F for 8 minutes. I’ve lost 2 pounds in 2 weeks with no diet change.

Layne keeping us grounded with cold facts.. again.. and again

It’s the walk out at the end for me 😂

And this is why we love you!

Huge fan Layne! I was genuinely wondering if we do burn more calories training in water than outside of water. I know this might be explained by increased resistance in the water but i have also heard about increased heat transfer in water resulting in more calories burned. Any insight would be appreciated!

Need to boost your mic, bit too quiet.

Missed the Human Randomized Control Trial voice!

This is so interesting and helpful but oh my life the shouting! 😂

I love Layne so much

I eat way more goodies and snacks on "snow days" - Layne validated!

Never mind that Phelps never actually ate 10000 calories in a day. Maybe like 4-5k max.

Man, I love you.

The Antarctica explorers needed around 7000 to 10000 calories to survive. They werent doing anything more than a bit of walking. Once they dropped below this they dropped weight fast. Last year I did 2 stints of bodysurfing 2 times a day for 1 hr over 2 weeks. Overall my exercise levels didn't change, I did eat a little more. My shred went from stagnation to dropping fat at like 2kg a week, which was too fast really, just by adding cold water. He is over exaggeration the point, but other than that, I think there is some reality. I was eating 6 meals a day, that were quite high in volume, I wasn't getting hungry. It's springtime here, so I am busy, so I am shredding, I am eating exactly the same as when I was bulking in winter, when there was F all to do

I once tried to eat 5000 calories one day. For me personally It was pretty hard to accomplish and I wanted to vomit by 5pm.

Gary Brecka is the new Dave Asspray.

Once again TRUTH!

Just saw this guy on JRE. Glad I saw this

I'm so glad you're out there Dr. Lane! The likes of BS charlatans such as this have been driving me nuts for decades!❤❤❤❤

Man! Layne just never disappoints. Zero interest in this week‘s topic, but man i leaned a lot. Amazing content! I wonder if people like mark hyman and this Gary have ever responded to Laynes response. Would be great

Cold water shower (2 min +, water usually 5-7 C) I agree with the increased alertness, ability to focus and good mood lasts for hours for me. I wish it allowed me to eat more cookies but Sadly no 😫😜

Man... I love your reactions!!!

Love your content Layne and currently started using your Workout builder + controlling my protein intake thanks to all of your amazing videos. I would like to suggest you do something about your microphone volume. Even with my phone maxed out, you sound pretty low. Hopefully it's not something too big of a deal to fix. I'll 100% keep watching your videos though.

the calories needed to maintain 36 degrees Celsius for 100kg of mass in water cooler than body temp could be calculated. 1 cal/kg/degree Weighing 100kg and losing a few degrees per hour= a few hundred calories/hour

I take cold showers for psychological effect. I really don't want to it. it is hardest thing to do in my daily routine. It is like small victory over myself to get day going in right direction.

i'd love to see you on Joe Rogan while you gary and huberman debate! would be amazing!

Does it burn calories? Yes. The best estimates are 200-250 i think. But I’m sure it varies according to metabolism & bmi.

I'm so glad you're out there Dr. Lane! The likes of BS charlatans such as this have been driving me nuts for decades!

There’s a really good video of a guy who tried to eat 10k calories as an experiment over 2 weeks. He had to eat through the night because he simply couldn’t fit it in.

Layne you get so much NEAT from fidgeting on these folks! stay lean bro!

When Ross Edgely swam around the UK... including Ireland and Scotland... not exactly warm waters, he weighed more than when he started. I guess he was drinking pints of olive oil all day then...

He may be lying or exaggerating but when I do cold plunges I feel like I am doing my body a favor. Whatever bloodvessel excersize or dopamine increase it does has allowed me to cut fat for some reason. Remember, Experience over science if your experience says otherwise

Audio was softer than usual on this vid, new equipment or studio?

I wish Layne would address his audio issues. When he speaks loudly the audio blows up and reverberates and it sounds terrible. Should be an easy fix with a better microphone and audio editing. Content is great as usual.

Layne is like if stone cold went to college and became a professor.

So, what about hot water? Any studies?

You missed the most important point- he sells a portable cold plunge for $7000 😂

Phelp's hunger wasn't from the swimming, it was all that Merrywanna!

This guy has a crazy look in his eyes now. I think the truly believes his own BS.

Thanks for calling out the bs!

Isn't Rhonda Patrick who you should look to for heet/cold shock therapy?

That article you cited first was not a randomized trial?

I love snarky Layne…..😂

Guys like Gary are ten a penny these days. I have a select few people on the internet that I value for their dieting and lifting advice, the other about a million of them I actively avoid.

FOOOR the algorithm!

gary brecka is getting flamed everywhere lmao

nice vid, find another mic though fam, that one is ded

Love you 😍

Wonderful "What the Fitness" 👏👏👏

That's why you have to find people before hypothermia sets in. If the water is cold enough they just disappear due to burning so many calories.😂😂

Why do most health people constantly attack each other? Not everyone benefits from all modalities. Try the advice and if it works, fine, if it doesn’t, try something else.

Heat transferance does that?

layne is unhinged in this episode

This Gary guy quacks more than a duck.

Phelps has denied many times consuming 10k calories. He said - his words - he eats as much as he wants. I doubt that's 10k.

Thanks again for the fact based reviews you do, it really helps me distinguish all this BS from scientifically proven facts. Keep up the good work helping people not hurting their bodies with fake blabbering.

Nice high pitch

Don’t quote me but I am sure Phelps said he didn’t eat that much and it was more like 4000.

Jay Cutler added a meat locker to his house to get double shredded for his return to bodybuilding.

Even if people have anything useful to say, when they start saying things like that, they lose me immediately... Brecka is like a mild form of Liver King...

So we have the right context, is cold water and ice water bath the same thing that we're talking about here?

Here for Al Gore's Rhythm

I more interested in knowing does swimming vs other cardio exercise burn more calories because of the water.. it seems reasonable the cold is pulling out the body heat compared to cold outside. Maybe the studies disprove this.. 🤷🏻‍♂️

But wouldn't your body have to produce more heat to compensate for the cold environment (water) ? Serious question.

Huberman said some shit that deserves what the fitness videos.

If only

leaving a comment FOOOOR the algo

Have you seennthe physique of cold water swimmers? Lynn Cox was 180lbs with 36% body fat.

Love the passion in these videos 😂 Sometimes you just need someone who knows the science to call Bullshit on these charlatans!

Goddamn, I wish I knew how to just make shit up and then get people to pay me for it.

🙌💯🙌

Could this be conflated with the fact that exercise in a cold pool allows for higher intensity due to the fact that core temperature is kept lower or brought down faster during exercise. Similarly to runs studies done in colder temperatures(can’t cite off the top of my head) is that intensity can be held for longer durations?

Can you explain a treatment called "cryotherapy" for the purpose of fat reduction. Cryotherapy involves exposing the body to extremely cold temperatures, typically through the use of liquid nitrogen or cold air. The idea is that this intense cold stimulates the body to burn calories and potentially reduce fat. They use in spas and it does work. So wouldn’t that explain cold to burn fat ?

Around the 4:30 mark he said that cold water makes you more hungry. Wouldnt that mean your body is burning calories bc its trying to heat up? And your body hesting is the procsess of burning calories so it would burn more.

“He’s not a woman. He’s an elite athlete.” Lmao

2:01 channelling his inner Cenk Uyger

I swim in cold water and it feels good. That is all. No bogus claims. I just enjoy it. People really feel the need to make all these outlandish claims when they don't need to.

Right Layne, these guys need more debunking more often.

I think this was lost in translation. I would imagine Michael was already eating 6-8K calories per day. It could be reasonably to up the calories if it’s colder in the water. Gary is saying the big jump in calories is training on land compared to water. Not because it’s only 4 degrees colder. It would be cool to see these guys talk and have a conversation about this. I’m sure there is miscommunication.

Just so you know, KZfaq throw me an add of pure What the fitness with those "this food will kill your metabolism, and this food…” just before this video. To be clear, my rant is against KZfaq, not you.
