13:00cold man it is hot yeah I lived in cold man it is hot yeah I lived in Canada for for a while and I never took Canada for for a while and I never took Canada for for a while and I never took cold showers there but the same is in cold showers there but the same is in cold showers there but the same is in Sweden right yeah the the water is Sweden right yeah the the water is Sweden right yeah the the water is is either heated just above freezing is either heated just above freezing is either heated just above freezing because otherwise it just freezes in the because otherwise it just freezes in the because otherwise it just freezes in the pipes yes or well in in Canada I lived pipes yes or well in in Canada I lived pipes yes or well in in Canada I lived in Vancouver which is one of the warmer in Vancouver which is one of the warmer in Vancouver which is one of the warmer parts of Canada so when there was a cold parts of Canada so when there was a cold parts of Canada so when there was a cold snap you would be advised to like not snap you would be advised to like not snap you would be advised to like not obviously leave your Taps on but you obviously leave your Taps on but you obviously leave your Taps on but you would leave them on enough so like the would leave them on enough so like the would leave them on enough so like the water would just be dripping and that water would just be dripping and that water would just be dripping and that would be enough to stop them yeah right would be enough to stop them yeah right would be enough to stop them yeah right so I mean anyone listening being like so I mean anyone listening being like so I mean anyone listening being like where where you had cold showers in where where you had cold showers in where where you had cold showers in Sydney I mean what do you want us to do Sydney I mean what do you want us to do Sydney I mean what do you want us to do about it yeah it's not like we can about it yeah it's not like we can about it yeah it's not like we can change it's as cold as it gets it comes change it's as cold as it gets it comes change it's as cold as it gets it comes out of the tap yeah I mean out of the tap yeah I mean out of the tap yeah I mean was also doing cold showers because just was also doing cold showers because just was also doing cold showers because just logistically it was the easiest I don't logistically it was the easiest I don't logistically it was the easiest I don't have uh I mean I have a bath in my have uh I mean I have a bath in my have uh I mean I have a bath in my apartment but I logistically didn't have apartment but I logistically didn't have apartment but I logistically didn't have the time to run an ice bath every day the time to run an ice bath every day the time to run an ice bath every day yes you know that would be ideal that yes you know that would be ideal that yes you know that would be ideal that would be ideal I mean I tried to put my

17:00restarting the habits hard so doing it restarting the habits hard so doing it initially is hard but to say you don't initially is hard but to say you don't initially is hard but to say you don't get used to it I'm going to push back on get used to it I'm going to push back on get used to it I'm going to push back on that a little bit because even even when that a little bit because even even when that a little bit because even even when I went to Sweden and started I went to Sweden and started I went to Sweden and started experiencing that level of cold man it experiencing that level of cold man it experiencing that level of cold man it was like starting again it was a whole was like starting again it was a whole was like starting again it was a whole [ __ ] other level like oh my God my my [ __ ] other level like oh my God my my [ __ ] other level like oh my God my my showers back at home in Australia have showers back at home in Australia have showers back at home in Australia have been hot but the whole showers have been been hot but the whole showers have been been hot but the whole showers have been boiling this is freezing man like but boiling this is freezing man like but boiling this is freezing man like but then I just explain what I mean about then I just explain what I mean about then I just explain what I mean about not getting used to it like okay I only not getting used to it like okay I only not getting used to it like okay I only did it for a month which compared to did it for a month which compared to did it for a month which compared to people who have never done them it's a people who have never done them it's a people who have never done them it's a decent amount of time to have an opinion decent amount of time to have an opinion decent amount of time to have an opinion on it but yeah compared to someone who's on it but yeah compared to someone who's on it but yeah compared to someone who's done it for a year yeah or even someone done it for a year yeah or even someone done it for a year yeah or even someone who's done it for six months okay my who's done it for six months okay my who's done it for six months okay my knowledge but I can only speak from my knowledge but I can only speak from my knowledge but I can only speak from my point of view right yeah I mean I got point of view right yeah I mean I got point of view right yeah I mean I got used to how much it sucked used to how much it sucked used to how much it sucked and what and I think the Perfect Analogy and what and I think the Perfect Analogy and what and I think the Perfect Analogy G right is for for anyone who G right is for for anyone who G right is for for anyone who drinks alcohol drinks alcohol drinks alcohol semi-regularly right you get used you semi-regularly right you get used you semi-regularly right you get used you get used to Hangovers but they always get used to Hangovers but they always get used to Hangovers but they always suck it's not like you ever like get to
18:00suck it's not like you ever like get to suck it's not like you ever like get to a point where you can be hung over and a point where you can be hung over and a point where you can be hung over and you're like this doesn't suck I'm used you're like this doesn't suck I'm used you're like this doesn't suck I'm used to it you're just used to that level of to it you're just used to that level of to it you're just used to that level of suck right like hangovers are always dog suck right like hangovers are always dog suck right like hangovers are always dog [ __ ] yeah but you know whereas if you [ __ ] yeah but you know whereas if you [ __ ] yeah but you know whereas if you get if you're someone who drinks once a get if you're someone who drinks once a get if you're someone who drinks once a year for example and you get hung over year for example and you get hung over year for example and you get hung over like that's a hangover from hell but you like that's a hangover from hell but you like that's a hangover from hell but you know if if you drink semi-regularly you know if if you drink semi-regularly you know if if you drink semi-regularly you know you know if you're someone who know you know if you're someone who know you know if you're someone who socially drinks kind of like every socially drinks kind of like every socially drinks kind of like every weekend or whatever you know uh which a weekend or whatever you know uh which a weekend or whatever you know uh which a lot of people do you're just used to lot of people do you're just used to lot of people do you're just used to being hungover but it's still [ __ ] when being hungover but it's still [ __ ] when being hungover but it's still [ __ ] when it happens and so I got to that level of it happens and so I got to that level of it happens and so I got to that level of use to it like I was you know that those use to it like I was you know that those use to it like I was you know that those first one or two days it's like a shock first one or two days it's like a shock first one or two days it's like a shock to the system oh yeah you know but then to the system oh yeah you know but then to the system oh yeah you know but then I you know I never got used to it as in I you know I never got used to it as in I you know I never got used to it as in it never didn't suck yeah every every it never didn't suck yeah every every it never didn't suck yeah every every shower was like look some show maybe in shower was like look some show maybe in shower was like look some show maybe in the month I maybe had one or two that the month I maybe had one or two that the month I maybe had one or two that like as soon as the water hit me was

20:00washed off before this you know before I washed off before this you know before I can use it because the water's hitting can use it because the water's hitting can use it because the water's hitting me and and you were like and you're like me and and you were like and you're like me and and you were like and you're like what do you mean I just like stick one what do you mean I just like stick one what do you mean I just like stick one you know arm out or whatever and I was you know arm out or whatever and I was you know arm out or whatever and I was like dude look at the size of me like I like dude look at the size of me like I like dude look at the size of me like I mean I have to move the shower head for mean I have to move the shower head for mean I have to move the shower head for me to be able to shower right but I me to be able to shower right but I me to be able to shower right but I still don't really get it look man look still don't really get it look man look still don't really get it look man look after this episode we'll go have a after this episode we'll go have a after this episode we'll go have a shower together I'll show you what I shower together I'll show you what I shower together I'll show you what I mean yeah please but you know and there mean yeah please but you know and there mean yeah please but you know and there were times where I just had super quick were times where I just had super quick were times where I just had super quick showers you know and there were times showers you know and there were times showers you know and there were times where I did kind of like chill in there where I did kind of like chill in there where I did kind of like chill in there for longer for longer for longer but one of the things going back to what but one of the things going back to what but one of the things going back to what you said where oh if you're just having you said where oh if you're just having you said where oh if you're just having a 30 second shower you don't get all the a 30 second shower you don't get all the a 30 second shower you don't get all the benefits yeah maybe not all the benefits benefits yeah maybe not all the benefits benefits yeah maybe not all the benefits but the benefit that I probably noticed but the benefit that I probably noticed but the benefit that I probably noticed the most the most the most and yeah again Wim Hof mentions this uh and yeah again Wim Hof mentions this uh and yeah again Wim Hof mentions this uh was the the mental benefits or the was the the mental benefits or the was the the mental benefits or the psychological benefits because I found psychological benefits because I found psychological benefits because I found even if I just had a super quick cold even if I just had a super quick cold even if I just had a super quick cold shower shower shower wasn't so much like that feeling of wasn't so much like that feeling of wasn't so much like that feeling of being woken up or whatever which for
21:00being woken up or whatever which for being woken up or whatever which for sure you get but it it's something as sure you get but it it's something as sure you get but it it's something as trivial as just a cold shower you could trivial as just a cold shower you could trivial as just a cold shower you could kind of go a big deal bro anyone can do kind of go a big deal bro anyone can do kind of go a big deal bro anyone can do that but it was like that sort of sense that but it was like that sort of sense that but it was like that sort of sense of accomplishment which does a lot for of accomplishment which does a lot for of accomplishment which does a lot for mental health and I think it goes man I mental health and I think it goes man I mental health and I think it goes man I actually I can't remember this I think actually I can't remember this I think actually I can't remember this I think I've mentioned this before but there's I've mentioned this before but there's I've mentioned this before but there's it's like the whole uh it's like the whole uh it's like the whole uh you know they talk about the importance you know they talk about the importance you know they talk about the importance of making your bed right and people go of making your bed right and people go of making your bed right and people go like why make you bet it's just going to like why make you bet it's just going to like why make you bet it's just going to get messy again you know or it's that get messy again you know or it's that get messy again you know or it's that argument of or even if you're working argument of or even if you're working argument of or even if you're working from home get dressed in what you know from home get dressed in what you know from home get dressed in what you know in your work clothes and whatever so it in your work clothes and whatever so it in your work clothes and whatever so it was that feeling of and actually there's was that feeling of and actually there's was that feeling of and actually there's a lot of uh mental health and depression a lot of uh mental health and depression a lot of uh mental health and depression technique not techniques that's not the technique not techniques that's not the technique not techniques that's not the right word because I'm not a doctor or right word because I'm not a doctor or right word because I'm not a doctor or psychologist or whatever but they talk psychologist or whatever but they talk psychologist or whatever but they talk about like you know small steps like you about like you know small steps like you about like you know small steps like you know just make sure you you know wash know just make sure you you know wash know just make sure you you know wash your you know even if it's one dirty your you know even if it's one dirty your you know even if it's one dirty dish like just wash that one plate or dish like just wash that one plate or dish like just wash that one plate or whatever for people who are severely whatever for people who are severely whatever for people who are severely depressed or whatever and just these
22:00depressed or whatever and just these depressed or whatever and just these little incremental steps so yeah it's little incremental steps so yeah it's little incremental steps so yeah it's just a cold shower but I did find like just a cold shower but I did find like just a cold shower but I did find like every time afterwards I had like a sense every time afterwards I had like a sense every time afterwards I had like a sense of accomplishment 100 instantly improve of accomplishment 100 instantly improve of accomplishment 100 instantly improve my mood yeah there were a couple of my mood yeah there were a couple of my mood yeah there were a couple of times though where I did get out of the times though where I did get out of the times though where I did get out of the shower and I was just so pissed off I shower and I was just so pissed off I shower and I was just so pissed off I was like [ __ ] that [ __ ] that sucked well was like [ __ ] that [ __ ] that sucked well was like [ __ ] that [ __ ] that sucked well you know but if you know out of a you know but if you know out of a you know but if you know out of a hundred times times like 90 you know 98 hundred times times like 90 you know 98 hundred times times like 90 you know 98 99 of the times like I felt good 99 of the times like I felt good 99 of the times like I felt good afterwards just sucks at the time yeah afterwards just sucks at the time yeah afterwards just sucks at the time yeah and that's why I think I really like the and that's why I think I really like the and that's why I think I really like the cold showers in the mornings because it cold showers in the mornings because it cold showers in the mornings because it is which I didn't do either yeah yeah is which I didn't do either yeah yeah is which I didn't do either yeah yeah that's another thing that's another thing that's another thing um the cold showers in the mornings um the cold showers in the mornings um the cold showers in the mornings you're 100 right there's such a sense of you're 100 right there's such a sense of you're 100 right there's such a sense of accomplishment right you've done accomplishment right you've done accomplishment right you've done something that's pretty hard like you something that's pretty hard like you something that's pretty hard like you know I have to agree with you that even know I have to agree with you that even know I have to agree with you that even in my 12 months of doing it there was in my 12 months of doing it there was in my 12 months of doing it there was probably you know a handful of times probably you know a handful of times probably you know a handful of times where it didn't suck at least for the where it didn't suck at least for the where it didn't suck at least for the first 10 seconds right it was always a first 10 seconds right it was always a first 10 seconds right it was always a bit of a challenge to to force yourself
23:00bit of a challenge to to force yourself bit of a challenge to to force yourself to do something that you don't want to to do something that you don't want to to do something that you don't want to do but then if you like without getting do but then if you like without getting do but then if you like without getting too [ __ ] woo but this is legitimately too [ __ ] woo but this is legitimately too [ __ ] woo but this is legitimately a thing for those that haven't done it a thing for those that haven't done it a thing for those that haven't done it even trying it for this benefit is worth even trying it for this benefit is worth even trying it for this benefit is worth it in my opinion is then everything else it in my opinion is then everything else it in my opinion is then everything else in your life in your life in your life that is something difficult to do it's that is something difficult to do it's that is something difficult to do it's going to be a little bit easier because going to be a little bit easier because going to be a little bit easier because you've proven to yourself that you can you've proven to yourself that you can you've proven to yourself that you can do difficult things you can force do difficult things you can force do difficult things you can force yourself to do something yeah that you yourself to do something yeah that you yourself to do something yeah that you don't want to do and it's the same in don't want to do and it's the same in don't want to do and it's the same in like Jiu Jitsu right and I know that like Jiu Jitsu right and I know that like Jiu Jitsu right and I know that Andreas he talks about this a lot Andreas he talks about this a lot Andreas he talks about this a lot um he was a a breath he's a brown belt um he was a a breath he's a brown belt um he was a a breath he's a brown belt that trained at our gym uh he's still that trained at our gym uh he's still that trained at our gym uh he's still does train at our gym he's just had to does train at our gym he's just had to does train at our gym he's just had to take a trip overseas for 12 months yeah take a trip overseas for 12 months yeah take a trip overseas for 12 months yeah yeah because he's got to visit his yeah because he's got to visit his yeah because he's got to visit his family and stuff yeah yeah so he'll be family and stuff yeah yeah so he'll be family and stuff yeah yeah so he'll be back but um one thing that I don't know back but um one thing that I don't know back but um one thing that I don't know what do you know is he you're like what do you know is he you're like what do you know is he you're like you're like oh he will be back and I'm you're like oh he will be back and I'm you're like oh he will be back and I'm but you're making it sound like he's not but you're making it sound like he's not but you're making it sound like he's not I'm like what do you know has he told I'm like what do you know has he told I'm like what do you know has he told you he's like he's like nah bro I've you he's like he's like nah bro I've you he's like he's like nah bro I've left he's like gone this was his grand left he's like gone this was his grand left he's like gone this was his grand scheme to escape you but one thing he scheme to escape you but one thing he scheme to escape you but one thing he talks about a lot like because we've
24:00talks about a lot like because we've talks about a lot like because we've done a couple interviews with him done a couple interviews with him done a couple interviews with him um for for other things and when he um for for other things and when he um for for other things and when he talks about the benefits of jujitsu he talks about the benefits of jujitsu he talks about the benefits of jujitsu he talks about it in in terms of problems talks about it in in terms of problems talks about it in in terms of problems problem solving right so the problems problem solving right so the problems problem solving right so the problems that he solves on the mats he can then that he solves on the mats he can then that he solves on the mats he can then extrapolate and apply to his problems in extrapolate and apply to his problems in extrapolate and apply to his problems in life in his personal life in business life in his personal life in business life in his personal life in business and things like that now I want to draw and things like that now I want to draw and things like that now I want to draw an analogy between that and the cold an analogy between that and the cold an analogy between that and the cold showers let you make an analogy thank showers let you make an analogy thank showers let you make an analogy thank you analogy Adam and draw an analogy you analogy Adam and draw an analogy you analogy Adam and draw an analogy between that and cold showers right so between that and cold showers right so between that and cold showers right so if you every morning not just for the if you every morning not just for the if you every morning not just for the recovery and all those other benefits recovery and all those other benefits recovery and all those other benefits that you get but just to do something that you get but just to do something that you get but just to do something that you [ __ ] don't want to do if you that you [ __ ] don't want to do if you that you [ __ ] don't want to do if you can make yourself do that every single can make yourself do that every single can make yourself do that every single morning without missing a day for 30 morning without missing a day for 30 morning without missing a day for 30 days straight then that will enable you days straight then that will enable you days straight then that will enable you to do other things in your life that you to do other things in your life that you to do other things in your life that you don't necessarily want to do or make don't necessarily want to do or make don't necessarily want to do or make everything else easier right and you'll everything else easier right and you'll everything else easier right and you'll get a sense of accomplishment and now get a sense of accomplishment and now get a sense of accomplishment and now that is not woo that's straight up facts that is not woo that's straight up facts that is not woo that's straight up facts bro yeah it does you know like I know bro yeah it does you know like I know bro yeah it does you know like I know some people might be listening thinking

27:00like just get in the shower turn like I like just get in the shower turn like I wouldn't even let myself start down that wouldn't even let myself start down that wouldn't even let myself start down that and almost negative stuff out of it yeah and almost negative stuff out of it yeah and almost negative stuff out of it yeah you can talk yourself into and out of you can talk yourself into and out of you can talk yourself into and out of [ __ ] anything yeah anything but I'm I [ __ ] anything yeah anything but I'm I [ __ ] anything yeah anything but I'm I definitely did you know they also had definitely did you know they also had definitely did you know they also had some other weird side of not side some other weird side of not side some other weird side of not side effects but things that I found weird effects but things that I found weird effects but things that I found weird like one thing I found weird about it is like one thing I found weird about it is like one thing I found weird about it is after a cold shower even though in terms after a cold shower even though in terms after a cold shower even though in terms of of of hygiene wise like not doing anything hygiene wise like not doing anything hygiene wise like not doing anything different to a regular shower still different to a regular shower still different to a regular shower still using the same soap whatever like it's using the same soap whatever like it's using the same soap whatever like it's still having a shower to to wash still having a shower to to wash still having a shower to to wash yourself yourself yourself it's like after a cold shower for some it's like after a cold shower for some it's like after a cold shower for some reason like I would feel cleaner I don't reason like I would feel cleaner I don't reason like I would feel cleaner I don't know if it's because like your skin know if it's because like your skin know if it's because like your skin contracts a little bit because it's cold contracts a little bit because it's cold contracts a little bit because it's cold and but it's weird because when you know and but it's weird because when you know and but it's weird because when you know the water's cold it's like imagine if the water's cold it's like imagine if the water's cold it's like imagine if you were washing your dishes you you were washing your dishes you you were washing your dishes you wouldn't think they're cleaner if you wouldn't think they're cleaner if you wouldn't think they're cleaner if you wash them in cold water opposed to hot wash them in cold water opposed to hot wash them in cold water opposed to hot water right yeah you know but for some water right yeah you know but for some water right yeah you know but for some reason after a cold shower like I felt reason after a cold shower like I felt reason after a cold shower like I felt cleaner which how did you find your cleaner which how did you find your cleaner which how did you find your sleep because you were doing it at the sleep because you were doing it at the sleep because you were doing it at the evening so I did it in the evenings yeah evening so I did it in the evenings yeah evening so I did it in the evenings yeah so I I just shall unless I'm showering
28:00so I I just shall unless I'm showering so I I just shall unless I'm showering like unless I'm doing multiple training like unless I'm doing multiple training like unless I'm doing multiple training sessions a day where I'm showering sessions a day where I'm showering sessions a day where I'm showering post-workout yeah just in general I only post-workout yeah just in general I only post-workout yeah just in general I only shower once a day right which is before shower once a day right which is before shower once a day right which is before bed I'm not a morning shower shower and bed I'm not a morning shower shower and bed I'm not a morning shower shower and so yeah I was doing it before bed uh but so yeah I was doing it before bed uh but so yeah I was doing it before bed uh but it's also worth noting that the month of it's also worth noting that the month of it's also worth noting that the month of doing this was during our lockdown so it doing this was during our lockdown so it doing this was during our lockdown so it wasn't like I was showering having a wasn't like I was showering having a wasn't like I was showering having a cold shower post-workout or anything you cold shower post-workout or anything you cold shower post-workout or anything you know which I guess would be a little know which I guess would be a little know which I guess would be a little different because usually I train in the different because usually I train in the different because usually I train in the evenings and then I would have been evenings and then I would have been evenings and then I would have been showering post training so um but yeah showering post training so um but yeah showering post training so um but yeah what did it do for my sleep I don't know what did it do for my sleep I don't know what did it do for my sleep I don't know I don't know if it was really noteworthy I don't know if it was really noteworthy I don't know if it was really noteworthy at changing my sleep at all definitely I at changing my sleep at all definitely I at changing my sleep at all definitely I noticed that definitely improves my noticed that definitely improves my noticed that definitely improves my sleep um so why track my sleep with and sleep um so why track my sleep with and sleep um so why track my sleep with and this is back to the biohacking thing um this is back to the biohacking thing um this is back to the biohacking thing um this the ring that I wear is an aura this the ring that I wear is an aura this the ring that I wear is an aura ring so it actually tracks my my mood ring so it actually tracks my my mood ring so it actually tracks my my mood ring changes colors yeah yeah when I'm ring changes colors yeah yeah when I'm ring changes colors yeah yeah when I'm feeling a bit sad it goes blue and I'm feeling a bit sad it goes blue and I'm feeling a bit sad it goes blue and I'm feeling happy it goes yellow
29:00feeling happy it goes yellow feeling happy it goes yellow um so it's called an aura ring and it's um so it's called an aura ring and it's um so it's called an aura ring and it's spelled o-u-r-a and it yeah it tracks my spelled o-u-r-a and it yeah it tracks my spelled o-u-r-a and it yeah it tracks my heart rate variability my body heart rate variability my body heart rate variability my body temperature and my my sleep it's temperature and my my sleep it's temperature and my my sleep it's basically designed to track sleep for basically designed to track sleep for basically designed to track sleep for recovery and then you can use synced recovery and then you can use synced recovery and then you can use synced with an apple yeah synced with an app with an apple yeah synced with an app with an apple yeah synced with an app you can turn it on airplane mode so it's you can turn it on airplane mode so it's you can turn it on airplane mode so it's not like you know zapping you all night not like you know zapping you all night not like you know zapping you all night um but yeah and and we can talk a little um but yeah and and we can talk a little um but yeah and and we can talk a little bit about maybe in another episode about bit about maybe in another episode about bit about maybe in another episode about different metrics you can measure for different metrics you can measure for different metrics you can measure for your sleep to to measure recovery and your sleep to to measure recovery and your sleep to to measure recovery and one of them the big one being your heart one of them the big one being your heart one of them the big one being your heart rate variability which is HRV so one rate variability which is HRV so one rate variability which is HRV so one thing that I find when I have a cold thing that I find when I have a cold thing that I find when I have a cold shower of an evening it definitely shower of an evening it definitely shower of an evening it definitely improves my sleep a lot and specifically improves my sleep a lot and specifically improves my sleep a lot and specifically my deep sleep and the reason for that is my deep sleep and the reason for that is my deep sleep and the reason for that is when you go to sleep your body is when you go to sleep your body is when you go to sleep your body is cooling you down you're actually you're cooling you down you're actually you're cooling you down you're actually you're it's yeah which is why you often wake up it's yeah which is why you often wake up it's yeah which is why you often wake up in the middle like you go to bed with in the middle like you go to bed with in the middle like you go to bed with what you think is the adequate amount of what you think is the adequate amount of what you think is the adequate amount of blankets or whatever and you wake up at
30:00blankets or whatever and you wake up at blankets or whatever and you wake up at two in the morning going like oh I'm two in the morning going like oh I'm two in the morning going like oh I'm cold yeah because your body has like you cold yeah because your body has like you cold yeah because your body has like you and even when you find like you wake up and even when you find like you wake up and even when you find like you wake up and you've actually kicked off your and you've actually kicked off your and you've actually kicked off your blankets or whatever or your foot's blankets or whatever or your foot's blankets or whatever or your foot's hanging out because your body is trying hanging out because your body is trying hanging out because your body is trying to regulate because it's it your body to regulate because it's it your body to regulate because it's it your body needs to reduce by about one to two needs to reduce by about one to two needs to reduce by about one to two degrees to be the optimal uh sleeping degrees to be the optimal uh sleeping degrees to be the optimal uh sleeping state right and that's when you can state right and that's when you can state right and that's when you can enter into deep sleep so and we can we enter into deep sleep so and we can we enter into deep sleep so and we can we can do another episode on sleep later can do another episode on sleep later can do another episode on sleep later because I nerd out I've mentioned this because I nerd out I've mentioned this because I nerd out I've mentioned this before on the podcast but I nerd out on before on the podcast but I nerd out on before on the podcast but I nerd out on sleep quite a lot so when you have a sleep quite a lot so when you have a sleep quite a lot so when you have a cold shower of an evening it improves cold shower of an evening it improves cold shower of an evening it improves your sleep you could you could just like your sleep you could you could just like your sleep you could you could just like take a nap and you go girlfriend be like take a nap and you go girlfriend be like take a nap and you go girlfriend be like what are you doing and you're like what are you doing and you're like what are you doing and you're like working yeah working yeah working yeah studying yeah yeah 100 yeah yeah she studying yeah yeah 100 yeah yeah she studying yeah yeah 100 yeah yeah she thinks I sleep all day anyway but yeah thinks I sleep all day anyway but yeah thinks I sleep all day anyway but yeah when you have a cold shower it cools when you have a cold shower it cools when you have a cold shower it cools your body down it regulates your your your body down it regulates your your your body down it regulates your your temperature it assists you a bit into temperature it assists you a bit into temperature it assists you a bit into getting to that uh cool estate a bit getting to that uh cool estate a bit getting to that uh cool estate a bit faster another hack for that is if you faster another hack for that is if you faster another hack for that is if you go to bed with wool and socks on that go to bed with wool and socks on that go to bed with wool and socks on that helps as well because as you mentioned helps as well because as you mentioned helps as well because as you mentioned in the beginning one of your body's
31:00in the beginning one of your body's in the beginning one of your body's techniques to to cool down or to heat up techniques to to cool down or to heat up techniques to to cool down or to heat up your body core temperature is to either your body core temperature is to either your body core temperature is to either push blood away or draw blood in so if push blood away or draw blood in so if push blood away or draw blood in so if you are trying to you are trying to you are trying to um if your body is constantly putting um if your body is constantly putting um if your body is constantly putting the blood to your your extremities it the blood to your your extremities it the blood to your your extremities it just makes it a little bit more just makes it a little bit more just makes it a little bit more difficult for your body to regulate its difficult for your body to regulate its difficult for your body to regulate its temperature so if you wear wool and temperature so if you wear wool and temperature so if you wear wool and socks it uh warms your feet and it socks it uh warms your feet and it socks it uh warms your feet and it allows you to cool down so it's quite allows you to cool down so it's quite allows you to cool down so it's quite interesting right yeah so yeah it interesting right yeah so yeah it interesting right yeah so yeah it actually helps improves your sleep by actually helps improves your sleep by actually helps improves your sleep by putting wool and socks onto bed I don't putting wool and socks onto bed I don't putting wool and socks onto bed I don't recommend that but if you want to but recommend that but if you want to but recommend that but if you want to but another technique that I have used another technique that I have used another technique that I have used particularly when I was again fully into particularly when I was again fully into particularly when I was again fully into biohacking and really nerding out is you biohacking and really nerding out is you biohacking and really nerding out is you can actually buy what's known as a chili can actually buy what's known as a chili can actually buy what's known as a chili pad it's a the company chili pad and it pad it's a the company chili pad and it pad it's a the company chili pad and it it is think of it like you know an it is think of it like you know an it is think of it like you know an electric blanket have you ever had the electric blanket have you ever had the electric blanket have you ever had the opposite of that it's the opposite of opposite of that it's the opposite of opposite of that it's the opposite of electric blanket it sounds like one of electric blanket it sounds like one of electric blanket it sounds like one of those water instead of electricity and those water instead of electricity and those water instead of electricity and like uh so for those for whatever reason like uh so for those for whatever reason like uh so for those for whatever reason that doesn't know what a [ __ ]
32:00that doesn't know what a [ __ ] that doesn't know what a [ __ ] electric blanket is it's like a blanket electric blanket is it's like a blanket electric blanket is it's like a blanket that goes under your your sheet it's not that goes under your your sheet it's not that goes under your your sheet it's not on top of you you would not know what an on top of you you would not know what an on top of you you would not know what an electric I feel like that's pretty electric I feel like that's pretty electric I feel like that's pretty common knowledge yeah I feel like I feel common knowledge yeah I feel like I feel common knowledge yeah I feel like I feel like we have some listeners in Germany like we have some listeners in Germany like we have some listeners in Germany they might not know for those who don't for those who don't for those who don't for those who don't know what a pineapple is it's a it's a know what a pineapple is it's a it's a know what a pineapple is it's a it's a spiky fruit no but okay so it's let me spiky fruit no but okay so it's let me spiky fruit no but okay so it's let me describe the chili pad it looks like an describe the chili pad it looks like an describe the chili pad it looks like an electric blanket but it goes under your electric blanket but it goes under your electric blanket but it goes under your your what's known as your top sheet so your what's known as your top sheet so your what's known as your top sheet so it goes under your or your fitted sheet it goes under your or your fitted sheet it goes under your or your fitted sheet and it has like little veins that look and it has like little veins that look and it has like little veins that look like water exactly like those lights you like water exactly like those lights you like water exactly like those lights you can even get them as cooling vests can even get them as cooling vests can even get them as cooling vests nowadays yeah yeah I don't think they're nowadays yeah yeah I don't think they're nowadays yeah yeah I don't think they're the cheapest things but they go the cheapest things but they go the cheapest things but they go [Music] [Music] [Music] um um I don't think I'm not sure if any sports I don't think I'm not sure if any sports I don't think I'm not sure if any sports use them but I mean I know they're there use them but I mean I know they're there use them but I mean I know they're there to get them for all sorts you can get to get them for all sorts you can get to get them for all sorts you can get that I know that they go like um that I know that they go like um that I know that they go like um you know in bloody uh in like the suit
33:00you know in bloody uh in like the suit you know in bloody uh in like the suit that astronauts wear and yeah to that astronauts wear and yeah to that astronauts wear and yeah to regulate the temperature across their regulate the temperature across their regulate the temperature across their whole body yeah so it's like that um you whole body yeah so it's like that um you whole body yeah so it's like that um you sleep on it it's got like a you know you sleep on it it's got like a you know you sleep on it it's got like a you know you know you can get them for dogs know you can get them for dogs know you can get them for dogs really I'm not even joking yeah you can really I'm not even joking yeah you can really I'm not even joking yeah you can get like you can get air-conditioned get like you can get air-conditioned get like you can get air-conditioned Kennels Kennels Kennels yeah I could see myself sleeping in one yeah I could see myself sleeping in one yeah I could see myself sleeping in one of those I'd take a whole new level to of those I'd take a whole new level to of those I'd take a whole new level to being in the doghouse like yeah you're being in the doghouse like yeah you're being in the doghouse like yeah you're in the doghouse and you're like yeah in the doghouse and you're like yeah in the doghouse and you're like yeah sweet it's done I got my [ __ ] Xbox in sweet it's done I got my [ __ ] Xbox in sweet it's done I got my [ __ ] Xbox in there there there uh yeah you can get them for like dogs uh yeah you can get them for like dogs uh yeah you can get them for like dogs and stuff they're like a like a cooling and stuff they're like a like a cooling and stuff they're like a like a cooling pad thing for them to sleep on highly pad thing for them to sleep on highly pad thing for them to sleep on highly recommend they're absolutely brilliant recommend they're absolutely brilliant recommend they're absolutely brilliant um so yeah and that that reduces your um so yeah and that that reduces your um so yeah and that that reduces your body core temperature improves your body core temperature improves your body core temperature improves your sleep as well so definitely definitely sleep as well so definitely definitely sleep as well so definitely definitely improves for recovery but I just just improves for recovery but I just just improves for recovery but I just just quickly I wanted to uh talk quickly I wanted to uh talk quickly I wanted to uh talk everyone through my recommended everyone through my recommended everyone through my recommended procedure if you wanted to use cold procedure if you wanted to use cold procedure if you wanted to use cold water showers not necessarily for some water showers not necessarily for some water showers not necessarily for some of the psychological benefits or the CNS of the psychological benefits or the CNS of the psychological benefits or the CNS or or other type of benefits that you
34:00or or other type of benefits that you or or other type of benefits that you get and if you're interested in those get and if you're interested in those get and if you're interested in those like just just do a quick Google of Wim like just just do a quick Google of Wim like just just do a quick Google of Wim Hof and man you'll find so many benefits Hof and man you'll find so many benefits Hof and man you'll find so many benefits yeah there is a lot of I mean there's a yeah there is a lot of I mean there's a yeah there is a lot of I mean there's a lot of information out there about it lot of information out there about it lot of information out there about it like when I said at the start that you like when I said at the start that you like when I said at the start that you know there's not that much I didn't mean know there's not that much I didn't mean know there's not that much I didn't mean there's not a lot of information it's there's not a lot of information it's there's not a lot of information it's just if you're looking at it from you just if you're looking at it from you just if you're looking at it from you know a scientific point of view there's know a scientific point of view there's know a scientific point of view there's not a lot of information to draw a not a lot of information to draw a not a lot of information to draw a scientific conclusion but there's a lot scientific conclusion but there's a lot scientific conclusion but there's a lot of there is a lot of information about of there is a lot of information about of there is a lot of information about cold showers and you know cold uh cold showers and you know cold uh cold showers and you know cold uh therapy yeah yeah therapy yeah yeah therapy yeah yeah and all these things but yeah Wim Hof and all these things but yeah Wim Hof and all these things but yeah Wim Hof would be and yeah type him into Google would be and yeah type him into Google would be and yeah type him into Google and you'll get a whole stack of and you'll get a whole stack of and you'll get a whole stack of information so my recommended procedure information so my recommended procedure information so my recommended procedure for or like technique if you will yeah I for or like technique if you will yeah I for or like technique if you will yeah I would say procedure for utilizing cold would say procedure for utilizing cold would say procedure for utilizing cold showers for recovery from Jiu Jitsu is showers for recovery from Jiu Jitsu is showers for recovery from Jiu Jitsu is using a five minute technique so you can using a five minute technique so you can using a five minute technique so you can do it one of two ways I'll I'll describe
35:00do it one of two ways I'll I'll describe do it one of two ways I'll I'll describe the most the best way if you will and the most the best way if you will and the most the best way if you will and then an alternative if you need to start then an alternative if you need to start then an alternative if you need to start with that so the best way to do it is to with that so the best way to do it is to with that so the best way to do it is to do 10 rounds of 20 seconds of cold do 10 rounds of 20 seconds of cold do 10 rounds of 20 seconds of cold and Then followed by 10 seconds of hot and Then followed by 10 seconds of hot and Then followed by 10 seconds of hot and this is called a contrast shower so and this is called a contrast shower so and this is called a contrast shower so say for example you you train up in say for example you you train up in say for example you you train up in evenings right so you've just done three evenings right so you've just done three evenings right so you've just done three hours of hard training and you feel a hours of hard training and you feel a hours of hard training and you feel a bit wrecked and you you need to like bit wrecked and you you need to like bit wrecked and you you need to like calm down your central nervous system calm down your central nervous system calm down your central nervous system you're trying to unwind to digest your you're trying to unwind to digest your you're trying to unwind to digest your dinner or maybe your you know about to dinner or maybe your you know about to dinner or maybe your you know about to go to sleep in the next 30 minutes or go to sleep in the next 30 minutes or go to sleep in the next 30 minutes or what have you so you come home and you what have you so you come home and you what have you so you come home and you when you have the shower you start with when you have the shower you start with when you have the shower you start with cold run 20 seconds go to hot 10 seconds cold run 20 seconds go to hot 10 seconds cold run 20 seconds go to hot 10 seconds do that 10 rounds through and that will do that 10 rounds through and that will do that 10 rounds through and that will equal five minutes and that is a cold equal five minutes and that is a cold equal five minutes and that is a cold hot contrast shower with the cold hot contrast shower with the cold hot contrast shower with the cold obviously it's however cold your shower obviously it's however cold your shower obviously it's however cold your shower is if you're somewhere in in winter in is if you're somewhere in in winter in is if you're somewhere in in winter in Europe or where have you it's going to Europe or where have you it's going to Europe or where have you it's going to be a lot [ __ ] colder than Sydney but be a lot [ __ ] colder than Sydney but be a lot [ __ ] colder than Sydney but sucked in sucked in sucked in um go for it anyway so I was actually
36:00um go for it anyway so I was actually um go for it anyway so I was actually doing those not intentionally while I doing those not intentionally while I doing those not intentionally while I lived in Brazil because I had a shitty lived in Brazil because I had a shitty lived in Brazil because I had a shitty electric shower there's showers in electric shower there's showers in electric shower there's showers in Brazil man like they're just these wires Brazil man like they're just these wires Brazil man like they're just these wires coming out of the wall and they've got a coming out of the wall and they've got a coming out of the wall and they've got a little switch and you've either got hot little switch and you've either got hot little switch and you've either got hot cold or warm and my warm function was cold or warm and my warm function was cold or warm and my warm function was broken so I would have a shower and broken so I would have a shower and broken so I would have a shower and you'd have to constantly flick it back you'd have to constantly flick it back you'd have to constantly flick it back this electric switch with wires coming this electric switch with wires coming this electric switch with wires coming out of it yeah I mean for anyone who's out of it yeah I mean for anyone who's out of it yeah I mean for anyone who's lived in Brazil or I think in South lived in Brazil or I think in South lived in Brazil or I think in South they're quite common in South America they're quite common in South America they're quite common in South America they would know what I'm talking about they would know what I'm talking about they would know what I'm talking about but yeah I'd be flicking this little but yeah I'd be flicking this little but yeah I'd be flicking this little switch like and it's on the shower head switch like and it's on the shower head switch like and it's on the shower head all right that is electric that's very all right that is electric that's very all right that is electric that's very weird that's so crazy hot cold hot cold weird that's so crazy hot cold hot cold weird that's so crazy hot cold hot cold hot cold sucked and it would spark as hot cold sucked and it would spark as hot cold sucked and it would spark as well it was very dangerous well it was very dangerous well it was very dangerous yeah so this is a really really cool so this is a really really cool technique uh now the inverse of it or technique uh now the inverse of it or technique uh now the inverse of it or the easier version is just flip the
37:00the easier version is just flip the the easier version is just flip the times right you go 20 seconds hot 10 times right you go 20 seconds hot 10 times right you go 20 seconds hot 10 seconds cold and when I'm talking hot as seconds cold and when I'm talking hot as seconds cold and when I'm talking hot as hot as you can stand so don't burn hot as you can stand so don't burn hot as you can stand so don't burn yourself obviously be careful I mean yourself obviously be careful I mean yourself obviously be careful I mean whatever Karen doesn't want to get sued whatever Karen doesn't want to get sued whatever Karen doesn't want to get sued I don't give a [ __ ] if I'm responsible I don't give a [ __ ] if I'm responsible I don't give a [ __ ] if I'm responsible for your your idiocy but you know as hot for your your idiocy but you know as hot for your your idiocy but you know as hot as you can stand so it should like at as you can stand so it should like at as you can stand so it should like at the end of the 10 seconds you should be the end of the 10 seconds you should be the end of the 10 seconds you should be like come on cold like I'm waiting for like come on cold like I'm waiting for like come on cold like I'm waiting for you this is uncomfortable and the cold you this is uncomfortable and the cold you this is uncomfortable and the cold obviously like I said just [ __ ] crank obviously like I said just [ __ ] crank obviously like I said just [ __ ] crank the cold turn the hot off and go for the cold turn the hot off and go for the cold turn the hot off and go for gold and uh you know count in your head gold and uh you know count in your head gold and uh you know count in your head it's better to use a timer obviously if it's better to use a timer obviously if it's better to use a timer obviously if your watch has a function uh like a your watch has a function uh like a your watch has a function uh like a stopwatch just just you know go through stopwatch just just you know go through stopwatch just just you know go through it but you know worst case scenario can it but you know worst case scenario can it but you know worst case scenario can in your head and that is an awesome in your head and that is an awesome in your head and that is an awesome recovery modality for utilizing cold and recovery modality for utilizing cold and recovery modality for utilizing cold and hot water immersion did you hot water immersion did you hot water immersion did you did you miss any days in your month I did you miss any days in your month I did you miss any days in your month I did I missed two why did I missed two why did I missed two why don't know don't know don't know I forgot I think um one of them uh so I forgot I think um one of them uh so I forgot I think um one of them uh so because I had two showers a day and when because I had two showers a day and when because I had two showers a day and when I originally when we started doing it
38:00I originally when we started doing it I originally when we started doing it for the first like week I was doing cold for the first like week I was doing cold for the first like week I was doing cold showers both days and most days I did showers both days and most days I did showers both days and most days I did both showers yeah sorry yeah both both showers yeah sorry yeah both both showers yeah sorry yeah both showers so the morning shower and the showers so the morning shower and the showers so the morning shower and the the evening shower right now once I the evening shower right now once I the evening shower right now once I found out that you were showering once found out that you were showering once found out that you were showering once per day and it was in the evenings I was per day and it was in the evenings I was per day and it was in the evenings I was like no [ __ ] that I'm only doing if this like no [ __ ] that I'm only doing if this like no [ __ ] that I'm only doing if this [ __ ] is doing one cold shower [ __ ] is doing one cold shower [ __ ] is doing one cold shower day I'm gonna do one and then some days day I'm gonna do one and then some days day I'm gonna do one and then some days what I'll do is I would you know wake up what I'll do is I would you know wake up what I'll do is I would you know wake up and [ __ ] my like basically talk myself and [ __ ] my like basically talk myself and [ __ ] my like basically talk myself out of it and [ __ ] out of the cold out of it and [ __ ] out of the cold out of it and [ __ ] out of the cold shower in the morning because I'm a shower in the morning because I'm a shower in the morning because I'm a little and then think that you're having little and then think that you're having little and then think that you're having it in the evening and then and forget it in the evening and then and forget it in the evening and then and forget and then have a hot shower because oh and then have a hot shower because oh and then have a hot shower because oh probably you know not even cross my mind probably you know not even cross my mind probably you know not even cross my mind and I think [ __ ] uh you know I don't and I think [ __ ] uh you know I don't and I think [ __ ] uh you know I don't want to have another shower I'm like want to have another shower I'm like want to have another shower I'm like come on um but yeah I mean save some come on um but yeah I mean save some come on um but yeah I mean save some water though what [ __ ] when you know water though what [ __ ] when you know water though what [ __ ] when you know water restriction yeah water restriction yeah water restriction yeah yeah so yeah that that was why but my yeah so yeah that that was why but my yeah so yeah that that was why but my recommendation if someone is in that recommendation if someone is in that recommendation if someone is in that position just either pick one and stick position just either pick one and stick position just either pick one and stick with it or just do both like don't let with it or just do both like don't let with it or just do both like don't let yourself any wiggle room just [ __ ] go yourself any wiggle room just [ __ ] go yourself any wiggle room just [ __ ] go cold bro yeah exactly I mean I guess cold bro yeah exactly I mean I guess cold bro yeah exactly I mean I guess that doesn't have the the effect of what
39:00that doesn't have the the effect of what that doesn't have the the effect of what I was saying where the Johnny Harris I was saying where the Johnny Harris I was saying where the Johnny Harris YouTube video talks about going in the YouTube video talks about going in the YouTube video talks about going in the hot springs and then the glacier water hot springs and then the glacier water hot springs and then the glacier water that's what it is that's what it is that's what it is right yeah so it's it it it's obvious right yeah so it's it it it's obvious right yeah so it's it it it's obvious and any research you do you'll find this and any research you do you'll find this and any research you do you'll find this same answer that cold water immersion same answer that cold water immersion same answer that cold water immersion where you are in like a like a ice bath where you are in like a like a ice bath where you are in like a like a ice bath or you know you you know if you are in or you know you you know if you are in or you know you you know if you are in Europe you're doing a you know jump in a Europe you're doing a you know jump in a Europe you're doing a you know jump in a frozen lake or something like that or a frozen lake or something like that or a frozen lake or something like that or a cold lake you know that is way better cold lake you know that is way better cold lake you know that is way better than a shower it just is but yeah this than a shower it just is but yeah this than a shower it just is but yeah this is what we have access to yeah and I is what we have access to yeah and I is what we have access to yeah and I mean you could argue as well it's mean you could argue as well it's mean you could argue as well it's it's a little bit easier because it's it's a little bit easier because it's it's a little bit easier because it's kind of like like when it's a shower kind of like like when it's a shower kind of like like when it's a shower you're not all wet at this I mean yes you're not all wet at this I mean yes you're not all wet at this I mean yes you are I mean obviously but you're not you are I mean obviously but you're not you are I mean obviously but you're not like you're not in the water you know like you're not in the water you know like you're not in the water you know what I mean whereas if you know so some what I mean whereas if you know so some what I mean whereas if you know so some it's kind of like when you get caught it's kind of like when you get caught it's kind of like when you get caught out in the rain it's like it's not out in the rain it's like it's not out in the rain it's like it's not enough water like if you're if you get enough water like if you're if you get enough water like if you're if you get caught out in the rain without a t-shirt caught out in the rain without a t-shirt caught out in the rain without a t-shirt on it's like what I don't know man maybe
40:00on it's like what I don't know man maybe on it's like what I don't know man maybe running around without a shirt you wear running around without a shirt you wear running around without a shirt you wear shirts like what is that no I don't know shirts like what is that no I don't know shirts like what is that no I don't know maybe you went for a jog or something at maybe you went for a jog or something at maybe you went for a jog or something at summer or whatever and you don't have a summer or whatever and you don't have a summer or whatever and you don't have a shirt on or whatever it is right and um shirt on or whatever it is right and um shirt on or whatever it is right and um you know it's like it's not enough water you know it's like it's not enough water you know it's like it's not enough water hitting your skin like it's like such a hitting your skin like it's like such a hitting your skin like it's like such a small amount of water that it's like small amount of water that it's like small amount of water that it's like annoying and irritating whereas if annoying and irritating whereas if annoying and irritating whereas if you're just in the water yeah it's it's you're just in the water yeah it's it's you're just in the water yeah it's it's easier I don't I don't know I don't know easier I don't I don't know I don't know easier I don't I don't know I don't know like I would I would if my options were like I would I would if my options were like I would I would if my options were you know let's say you know let's say you know let's say you know your you know your you know your I don't know you're at someone's in I don't know you're at someone's in I don't know you're at someone's in someone's backyard and they're having a someone's backyard and they're having a someone's backyard and they're having a pool party or whatever and my choice is pool party or whatever and my choice is pool party or whatever and my choice is like jump in the pool yeah or have like jump in the pool yeah or have like jump in the pool yeah or have someone spray me with a hose it's way less it's way more it's way less it's way more uncomfortable to be sprayed with the uncomfortable to be sprayed with the uncomfortable to be sprayed with the hose because then you're like Ah that's hose because then you're like Ah that's hose because then you're like Ah that's a terrible analogy no it's a perfect a terrible analogy no it's a perfect a terrible analogy no it's a perfect analysis it's terrible shut up I would analysis it's terrible shut up I would analysis it's terrible shut up I would say perfect jump in the Experience slash say perfect jump in the Experience slash say perfect jump in the Experience slash opinion I think that the like ice baths
41:00opinion I think that the like ice baths opinion I think that the like ice baths are a lot more challenging they're a lot are a lot more challenging they're a lot are a lot more challenging they're a lot harder well they're also be like a lot harder well they're also be like a lot harder well they're also be like a lot harder yeah especially for here in harder yeah especially for here in harder yeah especially for here in Sydney right I mean yeah maybe some Sydney right I mean yeah maybe some Sydney right I mean yeah maybe some people in Sweden or whatever are like I people in Sweden or whatever are like I people in Sweden or whatever are like I don't know bro that well I agree like in I can't stress enough I agree like in I can't stress enough that there is a huge difference between that there is a huge difference between that there is a huge difference between our cold showers and the just above our cold showers and the just above our cold showers and the just above freezing cold showers in like Europe in freezing cold showers in like Europe in freezing cold showers in like Europe in the middle of winter so when I was in the middle of winter so when I was in the middle of winter so when I was in Sweden I was doing Sweden I was doing Sweden I was doing um basically this this whole five minute um basically this this whole five minute um basically this this whole five minute therapy but with us like a lot longer therapy but with us like a lot longer therapy but with us like a lot longer with the sauna in the shower and going with the sauna in the shower and going with the sauna in the shower and going back and forth in between the two so back and forth in between the two so back and forth in between the two so like 10 15 minutes in the sauna in like like 10 15 minutes in the sauna in like like 10 15 minutes in the sauna in like less than five minutes in this in the less than five minutes in this in the less than five minutes in this in the cold shower and my God you feel you feel cold shower and my God you feel you feel cold shower and my God you feel you feel excellent you feel like a million bucks excellent you feel like a million bucks excellent you feel like a million bucks improves your mood absolutely hate improves your mood absolutely hate improves your mood absolutely hate saunas oh really saunas oh really saunas oh really I love saunas and steam rooms they're my I love saunas and steam rooms they're my I love saunas and steam rooms they're my jam they are definitely my jam it's like jam they are definitely my jam it's like jam they are definitely my jam it's like the it's not yeah I don't like the the the it's not yeah I don't like the the the it's not yeah I don't like the the hot air oh right yeah I love it I'm a
42:00hot air oh right yeah I love it I'm a hot air oh right yeah I love it I'm a massive fan I reckon the hotter the massive fan I reckon the hotter the massive fan I reckon the hotter the better like I want to be [ __ ] better like I want to be [ __ ] better like I want to be [ __ ] drenched in sweat I want it to be so drenched in sweat I want it to be so drenched in sweat I want it to be so uncomfortable I like it when I don't uncomfortable I like it when I don't uncomfortable I like it when I don't know why I like this and you know Freud know why I like this and you know Freud know why I like this and you know Freud would probably have something to say would probably have something to say would probably have something to say about it but I like being in in the about it but I like being in in the about it but I like being in in the sauna where it's so [ __ ] hot that sauna where it's so [ __ ] hot that sauna where it's so [ __ ] hot that you're like mentally having that you're like mentally having that you're like mentally having that argument with yourself like begging argument with yourself like begging argument with yourself like begging yourself to get out and like trying to yourself to get out and like trying to yourself to get out and like trying to rationalize getting out obviously not rationalize getting out obviously not rationalize getting out obviously not not enough to put your that you know not enough to put your that you know not enough to put your that you know life in danger not nothing ridiculous life in danger not nothing ridiculous life in danger not nothing ridiculous like sadistic like that but like where like sadistic like that but like where like sadistic like that but like where it's so uncomfortable that every minute it's so uncomfortable that every minute it's so uncomfortable that every minute that you like spend in the sauna is like that you like spend in the sauna is like that you like spend in the sauna is like conquering you're in a [ __ ] that leads conquering you're in a [ __ ] that leads conquering you're in a [ __ ] that leads me to my next Point uh you're opening a me to my next Point uh you're opening a me to my next Point uh you're opening a gym we got kieran's Bikram Jiu Jitsu gym we got kieran's Bikram Jiu Jitsu gym we got kieran's Bikram Jiu Jitsu right right right yoga before no no I've never tried it yoga before no no I've never tried it yoga before no no I've never tried it yeah I've never done it um I mean I've yeah I've never done it um I mean I've yeah I've never done it um I mean I've never I think I've only ever done one never I think I've only ever done one never I think I've only ever done one yoga class so to think I'm then going to yoga class so to think I'm then going to yoga class so to think I'm then going to go do Bikram Yoga when it's not even a go do Bikram Yoga when it's not even a go do Bikram Yoga when it's not even a negativity that I do oh it's super tough negativity that I do oh it's super tough negativity that I do oh it's super tough yeah but um yeah but um yeah but um yeah the I mean my conclusion for the
43:00yeah the I mean my conclusion for the yeah the I mean my conclusion for the cold showers like I mean man but yeah I cold showers like I mean man but yeah I cold showers like I mean man but yeah I think it's hard to argue that they don't think it's hard to argue that they don't think it's hard to argue that they don't feel great after the fact you know but feel great after the fact you know but feel great after the fact you know but it's just it's just a challenge to do it's just it's just a challenge to do it's just it's just a challenge to do because the the negative comes first if because the the negative comes first if because the the negative comes first if we go back to my analogy about it being we go back to my analogy about it being we go back to my analogy about it being like a hangover I think a lot less like a hangover I think a lot less like a hangover I think a lot less people would drink if you if it was people would drink if you if it was people would drink if you if it was flipped the flipped if you had to be flipped the flipped if you had to be flipped the flipped if you had to be hung over before the good part of hung over before the good part of hung over before the good part of alcohol yeah way less people would drink alcohol yeah way less people would drink alcohol yeah way less people would drink right yeah you know imagine like if you right yeah you know imagine like if you right yeah you know imagine like if you had to pay the price of that Savage had to pay the price of that Savage had to pay the price of that Savage hangover to have that Bender of a night hangover to have that Bender of a night hangover to have that Bender of a night like way less people would get drunk like way less people would get drunk like way less people would get drunk don't you reckon oh 100 you know you're don't you reckon oh 100 you know you're don't you reckon oh 100 you know you're right and so it's just the fact that the right and so it's just the fact that the right and so it's just the fact that the negative comes first makes it harder negative comes first makes it harder negative comes first makes it harder it's like painful delayed gratification it's like painful delayed gratification it's like painful delayed gratification but um man for me the but um man for me the but um man for me the you know I mean I haven't continued them you know I mean I haven't continued them you know I mean I haven't continued them after the month actually I did have one after the month actually I did have one after the month actually I did have one cold shower like that wasn't just it's cold shower like that wasn't just it's cold shower like that wasn't just it's not like I did a month in one day like I not like I did a month in one day like I not like I did a month in one day like I did the month I actually did a few more
44:00did the month I actually did a few more did the month I actually did a few more days than than a month like just for days than than a month like just for days than than a month like just for whatever reason but whatever reason but whatever reason but you know then a few days after having you know then a few days after having you know then a few days after having regular warm or hot showers again there regular warm or hot showers again there regular warm or hot showers again there was one particular day that I actually was one particular day that I actually was one particular day that I actually was like I want a cold shower and and I was like I want a cold shower and and I was like I want a cold shower and and I had one it was great had one it was great had one it was great um um but you know I guess I kind of in a but you know I guess I kind of in a but you know I guess I kind of in a whole enjoyed the month but then I guess whole enjoyed the month but then I guess whole enjoyed the month but then I guess you could say well why haven't you you could say well why haven't you you could say well why haven't you continued doing it yeah because they continued doing it yeah because they continued doing it yeah because they [ __ ] suck bro but I did like the [ __ ] suck bro but I did like the [ __ ] suck bro but I did like the you know like I said that feeling of you know like I said that feeling of you know like I said that feeling of accomplishment for me the accomplishment for me the accomplishment for me the the the the benefit that it made on me benefit that it made on me benefit that it made on me psychologically was what I found the psychologically was what I found the psychologically was what I found the most powerful because it was like most powerful because it was like most powerful because it was like instantly tangible is not the right word instantly tangible is not the right word instantly tangible is not the right word because you can't it's not tangible but because you can't it's not tangible but because you can't it's not tangible but if you know if I can bend the definition if you know if I can bend the definition if you know if I can bend the definition of that word for a sec like it was like of that word for a sec like it was like of that word for a sec like it was like I could really feel that benefit I could really feel that benefit I could really feel that benefit instantly whereas some of the other instantly whereas some of the other instantly whereas some of the other benefits like you know some people being benefits like you know some people being benefits like you know some people being like Oh you know I've had cold showers like Oh you know I've had cold showers like Oh you know I've had cold showers every day for five years and I've and I
45:00every day for five years and I've and I every day for five years and I've and I haven't been sick like five years yeah haven't been sick like five years yeah haven't been sick like five years yeah and things like that it's like okay well and things like that it's like okay well and things like that it's like okay well I wasn't sick in the month that I took I wasn't sick in the month that I took I wasn't sick in the month that I took them I feel like I mean you know yeah uh them I feel like I mean you know yeah uh them I feel like I mean you know yeah uh you know also we were in lockdown I you know also we were in lockdown I you know also we were in lockdown I wasn't training so I can't really talk wasn't training so I can't really talk wasn't training so I can't really talk about it as a recovery method uh you about it as a recovery method uh you about it as a recovery method uh you know but I would like to the next thing know but I would like to the next thing know but I would like to the next thing I would like to do would be I would like I would like to do would be I would like I would like to do would be I would like to get some sort of facility at our gym to get some sort of facility at our gym to get some sort of facility at our gym for uh I spads our gym doesn't for uh I spads our gym doesn't for uh I spads our gym doesn't necessarily have the space for it but necessarily have the space for it but necessarily have the space for it but you know it's it's something that it's you know it's it's something that it's you know it's it's something that it's in my another gym maybe another gym in my another gym maybe another gym in my another gym maybe another gym could have an ice bath yeah but it's could have an ice bath yeah but it's could have an ice bath yeah but it's something in my mind that I thought you something in my mind that I thought you something in my mind that I thought you know uh our good friends at jungle know uh our good friends at jungle know uh our good friends at jungle Brothers have recently done I saw that Brothers have recently done I saw that Brothers have recently done I saw that yeah yeah so they've actually taken yeah yeah so they've actually taken yeah yeah so they've actually taken quite a I think a really cool way to do quite a I think a really cool way to do quite a I think a really cool way to do it because it's a bit financially more it because it's a bit financially more it because it's a bit financially more viable as well which is instead of viable as well which is instead of viable as well which is instead of having to constantly every time go back having to constantly every time go back having to constantly every time go back by bags of ice which is really expensive by bags of ice which is really expensive by bags of ice which is really expensive yeah they actually have one of those um
46:00yeah they actually have one of those um yeah they actually have one of those um it's just like a freezer like you would it's just like a freezer like you would it's just like a freezer like you would get from a convenience store that's got get from a convenience store that's got get from a convenience store that's got ice creams in it like a like a tub ice creams in it like a like a tub ice creams in it like a like a tub freezer or whatever they're called yeah freezer or whatever they're called yeah freezer or whatever they're called yeah like a chest freezer yeah yeah and so uh like a chest freezer yeah yeah and so uh like a chest freezer yeah yeah and so uh obviously you can't permanently leave obviously you can't permanently leave obviously you can't permanently leave water in it because it would freeze but water in it because it would freeze but water in it because it would freeze but like they they fill that up with water like they they fill that up with water like they they fill that up with water and I think then they need less ice like and I think then they need less ice like and I think then they need less ice like maybe only one or two bags or something maybe only one or two bags or something maybe only one or two bags or something yeah and you know when they change the yeah and you know when they change the yeah and you know when they change the water every couple of days yeah you know water every couple of days yeah you know water every couple of days yeah you know and so heaps of like uh tutorials on the and so heaps of like uh tutorials on the and so heaps of like uh tutorials on the internet on how to read purpose chest internet on how to read purpose chest internet on how to read purpose chest freezers oh really yeah legitimate is a freezers oh really yeah legitimate is a freezers oh really yeah legitimate is a legitimate tactic and then nowadays legitimate tactic and then nowadays legitimate tactic and then nowadays there's companies that produce like there's companies that produce like there's companies that produce like professionally done professionally done professionally done um ice baths I think that would be the um ice baths I think that would be the um ice baths I think that would be the most famous one is called Morocco Forge most famous one is called Morocco Forge most famous one is called Morocco Forge and uh that's like all the big and uh that's like all the big and uh that's like all the big influences like Joe Rogan has one like influences like Joe Rogan has one like influences like Joe Rogan has one like Ben Greenfield uses that brand I believe Ben Greenfield uses that brand I believe Ben Greenfield uses that brand I believe and a few other people yeah effectively and a few other people yeah effectively and a few other people yeah effectively all the millionaires that have like you all the millionaires that have like you all the millionaires that have like you know a spare ten thousand dollars to know a spare ten thousand dollars to know a spare ten thousand dollars to drop on a [ __ ] ice bath whereas yeah drop on a [ __ ] ice bath whereas yeah drop on a [ __ ] ice bath whereas yeah I'm sitting here thinking like maybe I I'm sitting here thinking like maybe I I'm sitting here thinking like maybe I can steal a wheelie bin yeah that's also can steal a wheelie bin yeah that's also can steal a wheelie bin yeah that's also valid yeah you can 100 do the wheel
