Good description but hypertrophy isn't always same as adaptation. For weight training yes but not for endurance. I train mostly endurance with weights (swimmer + runnerfag), and am still making strength + endurance gains even though I have a 5-10 min cold shower after every workout.
Yes, don't do that. Cold showers after a workout will cause your muscles to shrink for warmth, squeezing out all of the workout juice. All the workout juice you just worked for gets pissed out uselessly.
cold helps soreness but reduces growth. But a cold shower probably doesnt get cold enough to really fuck you up too much. Ice baths are good for athletes and people who need to keep soreness to a minimum but not so much for people who are looking to build muscle.
I'm mostly saying that an ice bath will get cold enough for long enough that it could have an impact but a shower on the cold setting probably wont be cold enough to really hinder much of anything. I think if you took a bath in the cold water without adding ice to really get it super cold probably the same. But what the fuck do I know... Renaissance Periodization made a yt video talking about ice baths a while back if you wanna go listen to someone much more well read on the topic than I am
The pump doesnt even build muscle anon, BCAAs do after the muscle receives enough signal that effort is being made. The more effort, the more muscle. Its a protein synthesis, just eat close to enough and work hard. Keep steady at it, watch muscles appear.
idiot, why would they kill your gains? explain yourself
perhaps vasoconstriction
>vasoconstriction
do you really think it will vanish the results of your workouts, diet and sleep? Obviously not.
I dunno, my granny told me. But I guess that's a no.
dont mock the eurofag, a hard winter awaits him.
they decrease inflammation, the thing necessary for hypertrophy. its great for recovery, but not for adaptation

What this guy said. I should have mentioned this mechanism in my Rhonda Patrick post.
>inflammation causes gains
Show a single study that backs this up
Asking for a study? Wow, that's pretty cringe, dude. Don't you know where you are?
Yes, don't do that. Cold showers after a workout will cause your muscles to shrink for warmth, squeezing out all of the workout juice. All the workout juice you just worked for gets pissed out uselessly.
What if i drink it before the next workout

oh so you're saying that a bath (in a bathtub) is bad for muscle growth, but a shower won't kill my gains?

Thanks anon. Have a lovely weekend.
No problem you cold shower liking sociopath 🙂
Get the fuck out

yes cold muscles halts protein synthesis
Point the shower head towards your balls.
Your gains will amplify.
yes, dont do them for at least 4 hours after the workout, but ideally you do them before
Nah dude icebathmaxxxx with the added benefit that it can be DEADLY. Imagine not trying to get a heart attack
I remember reading some studies that said cold showers are bad for muscle growth but good for recovery, so pick your poison.
it should be a buddha or a yogi or a zen master in the op, rather than an npc wojak
yes. In fact cold showers are the worst thing for your gains.
Kill? No. Retard? Yes.

cold decreases inflammation which increases recovery time which leads to worse recovery
