I TOOK COLD SHOWERS FOR 7 DAYS AND THIS HAPPENED

00:00three two one cold showers made widely popular by this fella wim hof now on the outside he may look like a grandad who does a lot of psychedelic drugs in a forest now while i can't disprove that assumption what i can prove is he is a mad bastard holding the world record for the furthest swim under ice the fastest half marathon barefoot on ice the longest time with direct full body contact in eyes plus 23 more records in the [ __ ] invades me [ __ ] off at you so what are the benefits of cold showers i've had a look online and this is just a fraction of what i found it helps with depression and anxiety increases blood circulation lowers your heart rate increases your energy fights common illnesses and decreases stress levels now just take a look at this face you can literally see the stress leaving sure so why am i doing this after my marathon
01:00i wanted a new challenge i have had a ice bath previously it went horrific ah [ __ ] you know [ __ ] congratulations this is [ __ ] horrible also after recently seeing a tv program with wim hof himself i thought how hard can it be mate it's [ __ ] hard two how do i feel i feel like i'm gonna be very depressed if my dick doesn't go back to normal size day two operation make myself hard as [ __ ] i need to get my head in the zone my breathing is still a problem i just cannot get my breath i'm like a couple of things i've learned about myself is my nipples are a wreck and that this is definitely a fight game
02:00focus i'm really struggling to understand how the [ __ ] anybody does this currently i have got nothing from this it's definitely to do with my breathing so we're going to work on that and we'll come back tomorrow whim out [ __ ] get me out my brain is not good i don't feel like i'm benefiting from it when i'm in it i've like pulled a muscle in my neck tension my dick's tiny again i'm on my way home from work and any fed's watching i'm not on the phone right now i'm not even driving i'm actually the passenger it's just the way the uk roads are set out it looks like i'm driving this map i'm excited to get this cold shower done i've done a bit of research because my breathing's all to [ __ ] been listening to wim hof himself and it's gonna be a good one today i went into day three with the right mindset i was ready to [ __ ] [ __ ] up this
03:00was the first shower that i've had that i genuinely think i got something from and it's all down to the breathing using the long exhales to my advantage just to chill me out calm me down a bit i can do this bloody hell i never thought i'd be able to not go because i've actually pulled the muscles in my neck tensing up now that was good the cold water running down to my ass crack is leaving all sorts of questions i've never had any sort of sensation on that part of my body before we don't play with ass yeah i feel good day four now after the success from yesterday how much better can it get after watching it back my breathing suggests that i'm struggling i'm not finding this easy i'm overdoing it a bit so we're going to try and make this one effortless step for getting easier i'm able to actually talk i'll be honest i wasn't up for this one i really didn't want to do it
04:00i'm not gonna stop until it's done so you just get yourself in that mindset i'll get out when the time's done as soon as my brain realizes i'm not gonna stop it becomes accustomed to it i don't really feel it anymore which is [ __ ] crazy there you go 2 minutes 20. done crunchy i've obviously been getting better with the cold showers but there's one thing that hasn't got to total it and that's my [ __ ] yeah it's just not ready for the cold where are you where have you gone day five i feel like i've just mentally battered this challenge actually enjoying being in there five days ago i told you there was no chance i wanted in and out asap now i'm just popping shapes in there man i can't believe this the only bit that i do struggle with is like the brain-free side of it so when your head goes under the water for a long period of time my brain feels like it's shrinking just like my penis compare this to day one you'd think i was just in a warm shower
05:00i feel nothing oh penis where have you gone two minutes cold showers completed at night sound normally coming home from work i would have a nap sometimes 20 minutes sometimes an hour but i mean what time is it now it's 20 to 5 i finished work at three i've had the shower and i just got [ __ ] energy i'm not tired at all i don't know maybe it's a placebo effect me forcing it but i'm not tired i'm just chilling so the energy levels are definitely increased i've got a lot of [ __ ] going on but not bad just lots of stuff i need to get done and that stuff stresses me out i let it build up and i write lists and they [ __ ] stress me out and i just feel like i'm chilling man it's crazy but then also am i just forcing it whatever i'm doing i'm gonna continue to do because i am [ __ ] just enjoying stuff a lot more now less stressed more energy luckily i haven't got depression or anxiety so that part of the benefits i'm not going to get because luckily like i said i don't have that but yeah it's all going well day five chilling
06:00my eyes fall asleep now evan just said i've been on out of bollocks well i'm quite confident actually day six today's mission was to work on having my head under water for a longer period of time i've found that when my head is under the water the only thing i can think about is my breathing and the shower so it's almost like everything that's like sat on your mind all day i've got to do this i've got to do that i haven't done this i haven't done that it just [ __ ] goes like when i think about it when i deep it when i'm in that cold shower i don't think about anything genuinely if there's anyone watching this it's got a lot on their mind and they're just thinking about something all day get yourself in a cold shower i promise you whatever you're thinking about stressing about whatever you ain't going to be thinking about it when you're in that cold shower i promise you and sometimes just taking the edge off for like 30 seconds a minute is enough just to reset i got deep but i mean it honestly this is what i found if i just stand here and really focus it's not cold three minutes
07:00done by the end of this i wanted to get three minutes and we did what six in and three minutes is done which is great and genuinely i don't know how long i could go i think i could go like five to ten minutes i wonder what the world's longest call which hour is i broke the world's longest cold shower i've just had a quick look and the record is held by wim obviously um an hour and 13 minutes so [Music] probably gonna give that one a miss i think day seven and there's a change of scenery i stayed at charlotte's mums last night and the cold showers stopped for no man or woman or anything between me i'm not getting into that it was mine and charlotte's six-year anniversary i know can't believe she's got me down for six years it's peak we went for a run in the sun i've got all this excess energy to burn and if anybody knows charlotte the fact that she did this round is mental fair play now for the second challenge i've been walking around like i'm a big man been telling everybody i'm pretty much wim hof reincarnated but with a man bun listen we went to bala lake now you
08:00think a shower is cold get yourself in a lake in england my penis didn't know what to think at the start it was very candid and cute we went in together holding hands you know the dream then i went up to my shoulders before i was gonna die very quickly exited the lake and for the rest of the evening i stunk her puddles which is not great find out i'm still thinking like a big man look the cold child's gonna affect me to someone effective i was wrong or so wrong ice babies ice ice baby look at the color of my chest like my armpit look at the color of it i think it's very clear but i've got to the stage now where i enjoy the cold shower three
09:00one cold showers completed is done and now the big reveal a draco right and that is the end of the video so cold showers what do i think of them i think they're amazing and i can't believe i never did them earlier and i'm definitely gonna keep on doing them i finished filming this a couple of days ago and i've had a cold shower every day since so i'm gonna continue to do it the two main benefits that i have found from this which i have said in the video is my motivation and my energy they have skyrocketed and i can't wait to find out what else i get from this in the future when i do it for a longer time hopefully my dick gets bigger i don't know if that's a thing but only piece of advice would be just to do it give it a go even if it's 5 10 15 20 seconds i mean it's just like a really bad attempt of having sex five seconds
10:00if anybody's interested in the long-term effects and they want me to do another video over a longer period of time let me know but yeah thank you all for watching if you don't already please subscribe to the channel leave a video like and i'll see you all next week bye
