Rachid Tahri Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Lately I've been experimenting with taking cold showers for quicker recovery. I learned that after a cold shower my mobility (especially in my upper body) increases for a brief while! This sound off coarse absurd since the mainstream believe is that flexibility increases the more you're warmed up, but I am not talking about (passive) flexibility! An example: the lower traps do a lot of work in overhead motion of the arm. After a cold shower I notice that they seem much more power full and I can pull my shoulders more back/vertical! Does anybody here have this similar experience? If not try taking (only) a cold shower for 5 min and put the arms overhead (with ribs in, to feel the traps working extra hard) after this. I'm curious about your experiences! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herrick Fang Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Cold showers have a lot of benefits. I went through that phase this summer, and I noticed that my resting Heart Rate dropped form 65BPM -> 55BPM. You definitely feel refreshed after the cold shower! I also remember that I felt like recovery was quicker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
