*_“We can do more than what we think." It's a belief system that I have adopted and it has become my motto. There is more than meets the eye and unless you are willing to experience new things, you'll never realize your full potential.” ― Wim Hof

"This is gonna be my first ice bath." (*Adds 6 ice cubes*)

I really liked how they talked about the 4 stages of cold exposure - as a very great guidance and safety information for those practicing the method :) Check 4:35 if you're impatient.

I thought I remember Wim Hof telling people to put their palms firmly on your legs to keep warmth while sitting in the cold water for long times

"I think I have the leg up in controlling my breath".... *Turns on shower and immediately stops having any control over his breath*

You obviously made great progress. Some tips I have learned: Prior to getting into ice water, I ramp up the breathing and mental focus. As I approach the water, I tense up all of my muscles starting with my toes all the way up to my neck. My fists tighten and relax and so do my toes. The breathing, muscle tension and focus are all in clear focus. Nothing else matters. Then, I splash myself. Then I get more into it, then fully submerged. The breathing and mental focus at this point are critical. The flexing of toes and fingers gives me longevity in the water. There is a very strong reason for the 'adrenaline breathing' that Wim learned about and now professes. The breathing increases your body's fight mechanism, increases the strength of your mental focus and helps a little to increase your core body temperature. The muscle work I do by tensing the muscles ramps up the blood-flow and helps keep me warm.

Just when I thought nothing could be better than the cold shower and ice bath montage, I was greeted by the sight of two big, beautiful, pink boys. This is my favorite video on the internet.

I can't say this enough, another awesome episode! Thank you for making my Friday, it's been a rough week.

Love this channel. Keep up the great content!

Awesome, the Wim Hof technique is pretty amazing The breathing is life changing too

You guys are insane! Wim Hof is a super human. We've been following his work for years.

Hmmmmmm... it feels like you could’ve done a lot more research before doing this. When we got out of the ice bath w/ WH we would do breathing exercises not wrap ourselves in blankets. The deal was to keep moving and using imagery to take control of the bodies core temperature.

It feels like forever between videos. BUT, the wait is well worth it! Great video! Thanks guys.

You guys make the best content! I always find myself coming back to your channel and rewatching everything. Keep up the great work!

I love this channel! Great video!

I'm sitting at home with the heating on and feeling freezing watching this. That seemed insane. Very impressing and must be feeling nice and alive after that.

I've found that when doing the Wim Hof breathing I get much better results if I lie in the "Recovery" position (laying on my left side with my right knee up towards my chest. It really improved my hold times and overall experience.

Hey, that was a great video. Did you see when Wim Hof trained Yes Theory they stayed in cold water for 10 minutes WITHOUT ANY TRAINING just believing it is possible. That was absolutely incredible.

You guys are absolutely insane. Love it!!

You guys are freaking awesome! Subscribed❤️

Beautiful video and congrats to both of you. 🥶🤍💦💙❄️

That is so risky, to do your first really cold water swim in such a remote place... In trainers... Jesus! Glad it turned out ok

Great video as always

fuck that was a good video guys, very tense and good editing!

I did the program that i paid for through the Wim Hoff website. Like you guys I'm glad I did it. I started it pretty much in the middle of the winter so taking cold showers seemed really strange considering that it was cold and rainy outside. After the six weeks I continued the cold showers because I actually felt I benefited from them more. I have gone back to "warming" up the water again but just warm. The majority of the people out there would consider it too cold still. I havent had what would be a hot shower where the bathroom is all steamed up. I would recommend the program. It helps to buy the program and not try to learn from you tube videos.

Love this bb so proud

So good and blown away that you did this.

Really impressive that you managed to stay so long in the water!

Huuuge respect guys, huuuge. I can't handle the cold at all... dear lord that was intense.

I swim 200m in cold water every morning in Northern France. It gets me moving some.

Awesome work guys!

You guys are awesome

Guys ure so amaizing! Well done!

Crazy and thanks for sharing your experience with the method; wished you could had shared more details during your prep.

Practically what is useful is swimming in cold water ( not very cold, about 14° - 16° Celsius ) , for one hour. To train for this you only need to swim in the summer and continue to the winter. The water is always going colder very slowly ( about 1° a week )

Wow you guys have done great.....amazing.

Great video, I’ve been doing the WIM HOF METHOD for two weeks now.

It's not just physical exposure and determination the meditation part and the mind body connection which really makes things happen good job guys

Great vid! How’s the “muscles ups” going??? Anxiously awaiting that! 👍👍👍😎

This is your best video yet!

Love your videos guys!

You guys are awesome.

*I am doing this too!! Ok..no, not as extreme haha but I’m taking cold showers every morning now and it’s truly awesome!* 🙏 At the beginning it’s uncomfortable, but then you get used to it

Awesome video,super interesting challenge

Put me through all that with a few cases of beer and I'll be good! Great job guys!

Great work guys

AMAZING video. Damn, you guys are so good. Keep it up

Nice video guys! Ps.: I didn't know Matt Davella and Vsauce had a channel together 😂

I wish ice man will see this

You both did really good.

You are the best

thank you goal guys

Hey really appreciate your support for the breathing and ice cold therapy, I was excited to see your video but it when I realized it was just an ego booster instead of explaining the benefits of it I was disappointed, please explain the benefits of it that is more important then the egotistical side of it❤️

Congrats. You're an X-Men now.

You guys are so brave. Cheers

Good job guys

Yo well done guys that was text book stuff, you both went into preparation beforehand n then that prepared you both for the event, you were both realistic about doing the Wim Hoff experience so hats 🧢 off to ya both. XX🤠🙏🌈🦋🌎🙌✌️

Respect. Thanks.

AWESOME! 👏 👏👏👏👏

How come you didn't do the Wim Hof horsestance dance/improvised tai chi movement afterwards? It helps you warm up from inside.

Really nice work guys, a bit risky but nice to see you made it!

We used to take university students into the southern alps of New Zealand for 14 days - We’d start every day with a dip in a glacial river ... hypothermia quotient for that river was 6 mins. The great thing about our river systems was the geothermal hot pools everywhere. Great times.

I have been binging on Wim Hof just to see people freezing their asses off 😂😂😂 for whatever reason, it's very funny.

I never really did the whole cold thing, but wim hof breathing is great for anxiety. Im not a doctor, but my guess is supplying your body with lots of oxygen, calms down the nervous system. Rly Good video, insane that you actually did this.

I will be ready for ice water next year - this year will be ice showers and reducing the layers outside when its cold. I want to build up core mental skills before diving in .

Well done guys.

Your chest was getting so red while under the water. You guys are amazing.

Great video guys! Very fascinating and impressive. I myself have been taking cold showers for about a year and it's definitely helped me be more comfortable in uncomfortable situations, like speaking up in class and running to class if I'm in a hurry. Awesome stuff. :)

Insane

Dude: If it hurts get out immediately, don't risk it! Dude:Aaaaaaah it hurts so bad *stays in water*

Sehr interessant. Danke.

Wow. That was hardcore. But, very interesting, informative and entertaining.

mad props...well done.

Good for you. 👍🇨🇦❤️

For future survival situations (AKA tips to warm up when you are so cold) Lay on something other than snow; get some branches and lay them down to get an air barrier between you and the snow Don't drink something that is super hot; the vessel dilation that occurs from drinking hot liquids will probably cool you down more than the heat you gain. Instead, drink mildly warm liquids and eat something very sugary and high calorie Rubbing your body down with snow immediately after will pull a lot of the moisture off your skin ASAP.

Well done. But I would recommend to do the preparation at least over a period of then weeks, just like Wims video course.

A new fan of you guys! I'm also from Vancouver. Do you guys do any fan events/meet ups?

FAM, why are you hiking in khakis. Also, you cray.

Well done

Great video as usual. I wouldn't normally comment something like this but I'v just made a video where I use the Wim Hof method too, but instead of using it for cold endurance I used it (as well as multiple other techniques) to achieve a two minute dead hang (a whole lot harder than it sounds). Would appreciate it if you watched it, but if not no worries I know these comments could be annoying, even so you should make a video for a 2 minute dead hang if you cannot do it already, it would be really interesting to see your journey throughout the whole thing. Great editing by the way, I had no idea how much went into making a video until I tried it myself it must of taken hours and hours.

Wow well done guys 🥶

I did this challenge last year in a mountain in Alberta, Canada. It did hurt like hell. Felt like a thousand needles poked me.

When you do a cold shower take a huge inhale and hold your breath - do your armpits first - stay calm while holding that big breath in which will brace you and it won’t be that bad.

Respect!

I was excited to try this, then I came to my senses and realized I think “winter“ is a four letter word. At the age of 72, “cold“ to me is a lukewarm shower. Ha ha

I dont remember wim hof getting wrapped up like a burrito when he came out the water

Been doing the breathing exercises plus the cold showers (5 minutes) for about a week or so. I live in a place where the water is about 59 degrees F. or a little less. At the beginning the showers were brutal. Now I can deal with them a little better. I'm becoming addicted to it. But the problem is that I'm not dealing with the cold outside anything better. I suffer from Raynaud's disease, so I think I will never being able to get the benfits from the WHM, but that was the reason why I started in the first place

Lov it

Bros goals.

Great video ! thanks for doing it so I don't have to !

What's with that black dot on the wall near the end where you recap at 16:30 onwards? It is driving me nuts! :D Great challenge, I only tried cold showers a few times but rarely without taking a warm one first. Kudos on that.

Us ; superhuman ! Alaska ; are we real To you ?

hardcore!

Indian sages have been wandering in Himalayas mostly in naked condition. It requires tremendous amount of heat to be generated from within and to do that one needs to center their whole energy around their body. Its not an easy task. Simply hats off to you guys.

IT insane how you hear the breath relaxing after 10 seconds

Now time to climb a mountain. I’ll give you the training. Might take a bit more than 21 days though 🤔given how much you struggled on the hike 🤣

You are so brave

This youtuber will be big!

There are exercises you could do after the ice water exposure. It keeps blood moving and that way you can keep the body, hand and the legs warm. I was at a seminar of Bart Pronk and frankly, I was amazed that I could stay in the ice so long. But feeling after all of that... reborn.

Wim Hof is the Superhuman Maker!
