quick question: how cold should the water be? is shivering cold alright or to much?

GamerBoy69 Shivering cold is alright. The water doesn't have to be ice cold but it should be colder than room temperature. You will shiver at first, but remember that you should only be in the shower for 10-15 minutes. With time you will get used to cold water and won't shiver anymore (at least not as much). The first few times are the hardest but there's a reason why the channel's name giving this advice is called "the art of manliness" .

Stefan Frunza okay thank you

OnePercentBetter had me at reducing electric bill.

OnePercentBetter me too...no gradual crap, i just jump in. the best way to beat the cold is by controlling your breathing, take deep breaths and that cold shower is easy.

Hint: circadian rhythm.

retardedpranksters I was wondering if anyone else picked that up lol

+Husain Sodawala what? how is that an answer

retardedpranksters lmao! good one

+Pastabilities I think that cold showers could have two very different effects depending on whether the body wants to wake up or sleep. Cold showers could augment whatever the body wants to do. I am not sure of the mechanistic principles of the same but I believe it is got to do with circadian rhythm of a person.

Guess I have to get in the shower

Justin D get better soon

Lmaooo

made me laugh :P

islespatrick Are you going to keep doing them?

Yes, I will.

islespatrick so...have you?

islespatrick yeah, have you?

Joseph Schmidt nope. How did it feel, seen any changes? How often do you do shower that way?

Crescendo lol yah for the average person about 10 mins is perfect, that's why I said during my "worst" bout of depression. It seemed like the longer I was in there, the better I felt. I still to this day, put my phone in a bag, and watch funny videos in the shower lol, cuz I used to do it during the 45 min showers to take my mind off the cold and it just kinda stuck with me. My roommate thinks I'm weird cuz I'll be randomly laughing in the shower. 45 mins was the average back then, the longest one I ever took was 1 hour and 32 mins, clocked it on my phone.

wow great to hear that you're okay man.. im having some hard times with depression at this time and im sure gonna try it out after reading your comment. one question, did you notice getting better immediately after taking a cold shower or did it take you a while to get better?

hugh mungus thx man, no one understands the true agony of depression until they experience it. I fondly call it "the darkness", ya know when I was a teen i used to make fun of people that had it(manifested when I was about 19), what a fucking fool I was. Depression is part of the reason I got into bodybuilding, fitness and it's pursuits are the only thing that keep me going, it's the raft I cling to in my sea of despair lol, fitness has saved my life lol, that is for sure true. If you are having problems consistently then I would definitely look into that as well, it is better than anything. But of course to your question, I would say at least 10 mins for it to start relieving the depression, in COLD water, not no pussy shit lol. I SERIOUSLY recommend just putting your phone in a Ziploc bag and watch your favorite KZfaq channel, it will be unbearable at first lol, start with hot and switch to cold, don't just go straight in. Now I look forward to them lol, I say if you can make it a full 20 mins you will feel SO much better, sometimes I would take 3 to 4 a day when it was bad lol, but they do work. Just put on a 20 min video and start watching it and try to forget about the cold till the video ends. It will get easier with time, I take a 6 min warm and 15-20 min cold every morning and afternoon after work. The only time I notice the cold anymore is when it's the dead of winter lol, cuz that shit isn't far above freezing.

Section8dc Thanks for writing this man. I'm working on getting out of a depression and your story inspired me to take cold showers when I'm feeling like shit. I know nothing about you and it's none of my business but I do wonder if you work on getting out of your depression in other ways as well. Like therapy and self reflection and shit like that?

thank you very much for the information. i am 19 years old and all of this started happening to me just this year. so i'm very desperate to ''escape'' it as much as i can.

matt t After 20 days of continual cold showers i'm now on alternating days (3-4 times a week) for 10-13 minutes.

Simon Belmont Thanks for the support and best of luck on your journey to becoming the man you want to be.

+Simon Belmont Hey, that sounds great. I´d like to start too with those practical changings in my life. My fear is or was that this is placebo in a way. So maybe the easiest way is just to do it :D Am I right ? How do you feel now? After what you've said, great! ^^ How is your hair and skin ? Greets Chris

+Calciumchlorid Definitively not a placebo, check out Wim Hof Method.

+Simon Belmont It's never too late y'know, I'm 22 and I started visiting AoM when I was 21.;

+Simon Belmont Love your name! Castlevania is awesome!

+Gaming Sound FX Thats why I started doing it, as a discipline

+Gaming Sound FX ; What is "self discipline" ? I mean what exactly is it ? Give me practical examples.

+JackFknTwist1 I think they mean the fact that nobody initially really wants to take a cold shower, and when you try it out for the first time it's quite a shock. It takes a good amount of discipline to stick it out until you adjust to it.

No one takes cold showers, or ice baths

+Dmitri Brandt well, i do.

+KingTesticus You rack disciprine

+KingTesticus It's so true xD

inutiasha i know it's true. when i was a kid we lived in a house my dad was rebuilding. there were times we didn't have various things, like electricity, or hot water, or water of any kind! heat. and we lived in New Hampshire. 8 cords of fire wood to keep the house "bearable" during the winter. but whatever, i was just a kid and what did i know. to me it was all perfectly "normal." one of those rebuilds was to dig a new well. we had to truck in our water every few days or so using a 500 gallon tank used for collecting maple sap. (my dad was into sugar season and maple syrup, anyway...) every flush of the toilet, every drop of water, my dad was there like some nazi making sure we didn't waste any of it. i was introduced to the "navy shower." today this would be considered child abuse, but at the time my dad was like, you get in, turn on the water (cold), get wet, turn it off. then you stand there, shivering your ass off and soap up. once you're "clean" you turn the water back on (cold) and rinse off and once you're finished you turn the water back off again. it was fucking brutal! i got the ritual down in under 3 minutes. i shit you not. i wouldn't take another cold shower if my life depended on it ;-) lol

+Real Yes. Mass immigration into European countries combined with interracial breeding combined with low white-white couple birth rates = white people are getting fewer and fewer.

So cold showers help you go to sleep & gives you energy?

The timing of this video is epic for me and my family. Our hot water heater died this morning. It lost its life long battle to rust. Noe our family will be taking cold showers until Thursday. Thanks for helping us find the brighter side.

cold showers dont make you tired, they just make it easier to fall asleep and get deeper sleep

Hugh G. Erichawn Indeed

Cold showers actually help me in the mornings. If I take warm showers, I tend to stay in the shower for 20-30 minutes. Cold showers expedite this process, since I don't particularly enjoy being in ice cold water for any more than 3-5 minutes.

Franco Selem YES! very true but also working up the nerve to turn on the showe thinking "fuccckk this is going to be cold" sometimes takes up about 2 min of my time. Eitherway much faster than a warm shower anyway

Jonathan vazquez​ Yeah the trick for me is to just not think about it. When I first started doing them, I would over think it and not end up doing it.

I'm doing it right away when I wake up in the morning, it's an awesome way to start the day :D

That's a great way to do it.

five years in the cold showers, started of a need to be clean, when our water boiler broke down, so i jumped in cold showers for a month or so, then i realised, that it has some good impact on my energy and did it everyday. Now i reveal all the benefits of it so thanks for the video

Marius Ninjai use the rain as a shower

For 6 months of the year, lukewarm water is all I can get for a "cold shower". I would need a water chiller attached to the line to be able to get a cold shower. Phoenix is a hot place.

@@brianbradley1345 you just set the man on fire

That’s when you become a man is when you take a cold shower in winter

What humans want tends not to be a reliable guide to what they need. Cold showers tend to be more beneficial the less attractive they seem. In traditional high latitudes cultures, from the Scandinavian Artic to the Patagonian Subantarctic, there was a major decline in populations which adopted western ideas around heating and clothing. In Patagonia, missionaries persuaded what they mistook for their "flock" that it was sinful (and ineffectual) to follow their usual dress code (nudity) given that it was fecking cold. It turns out that wet clothing was far more problematic to survival than nudity in a windy part of the world where it ALWAYS rains. They had no way to get clothing dry because there were no modern building materials, and no access to electricity or fossil fuels, and entire populations died out as a result. The reason coldness is good when it's in the form of a cold shower is that it is episodic. Having your body heat wicked away 24/7/365 by wet clothing exposed to fast moving cold air is not episodic, and not survivable.

Rodrigo Ugarte that's cold man Yeah I stole that comment, what you gonna do?!

Rodrigo Ugarte same

Yes and yes.

Art of Manliness Thanks for making this video. Tomorrow after the gym I will try a cold shower and see how it goes from there. I took cold showers in the past. The thing remember about them is early in the morning, its like someone is punching you in the face with excitement and you are awaken to the point where you don't even need coffee.

Not ice cold, but colder than room temp.

Art of Manliness I usually shower at around 37°C and end a minute with 30°C, which is pretty cold but nice. But to get the full effect, I should get down to ~18 or 20°C?

Vincent Keltjens I don't think you understand what "cold" means. I take a 10°C shower every morning (and I'm a lady.)

Koskain Anglophile Cold is a relative term, therefore I'm asking what would be a useful definition of cold in this case. There has got to be some (imaginative) graph of effect vs. temperature.

Vincent Keltjens I consider 18 - 20°C a mild summer day. Maybe it's because I am from Germany or because I live in Canada, but my room temperature is 18°C... So yeah, you should take a shower that is colder than room temperature (and I'm not talking wussy 23°C room temperature, as it is common in the U.S.). When I was a child I frequently went swimming in the Baltic sea which is usually around 15°C, which is pretty nice and easy to get used to. I consider everything above that to be warm.

+Kanashto i do the exact same thing. after 10 seconds its amazing, i can almost feel the endorphin being released to my veins

+TheBJTshow how cold???icy cold or just cold

+Kanashto Try shocking yourself! Turn on hot, get used to it.....then flip to cold, get used to it....then flip to hot......repeat.

I get that to

+90ItsYaBoii90 helps me wake up : )

+Sevir Rosis same here brother. just educate em

+Sevir Rosis Not mentioned in the video is that the sudden drop in temperature pushes blood pressure way up. So any susceptibility to strokes and you might not be able to climb out of that shower. Not emphasied enough is that showers should be brief. Ask any diver what happens when exposed to cold for too long. Yes they may be good when you are healthy and your circulatory system is sound but they wont be curing anything. Your dad aint so dumb. And remember, you just made yourself 'Son of Dumb'.

+Sevir Rosis My mom told me taking cold showers can cause my shoulders to get damaged and then die... ._.

+Philip Jones What?.. That's like saying you shouldn't do cardiovascular exercises because it brings your blood pressure up, and therefore you might just then have a heart attack.

+SillyBehavior With cardiovascular exercise that even old people can do, you build up the pressure gently. In a shower the pressure jump is considerably quicker. Its the difference between making love with your wife and a stranger you just met. I'm not talking internal body cooling here, which is why divers spend so much keeping warm but the initial shock. Most of us can walk in to a cold shower with no issue. Above a certain age then you need to check with you doctor. Otherwise if the cold makes you feel faint then take it steady. Hate to think of my mum dragging me senseless out of the shower.

I like to do 100% cold before I finish. I usually relax my breathing and think of something else... what I want to accomplish that day and the cold is more bearable. I keep doing 100% cold more often and can tolerate it so much better. Feels like you can conquer the world after braving the 100% cold. Next thing i'm gonna do is set to 100% cold and jump in right away for the ultimate rush.

It's nice how it gets your body into heat mode, when you get out the normal air feels warm.

Warning : Cold showers kills gains.

@@greatomeister675 Yeah, That made me a little sad... But with better health comes better long term gains ;) *I hope so, because i wont give up cold showers

Backonos Back different times of the day

Backonos Back boosts energy in the morning. helps you sleep by showering an hour before bed.

It’s your choice brah. You pick

There are like 5 comments with replies as to how this works, and you also literally have the internet.

Juan Pretorius Thank you for the advice!

said like a true pussy

thats fine i guess but i find it way more beneficial to start cold. the build up and nervousness of jumping in a cold shower truly tests your mental strengthm

Malie if you want to test that, just hold your breath. or do planks.

Juan Pretorius Yea but planks start off easy and get harder, whereas a cold shower is hard from the start.
