Cold Showers

So I've read cold showers help you in your Penis Enlargement by raising testosterone. My question is how long and how cold must this shower be. Also some have made the distinction between taking a cold shower and just running your nuts through really cold water for 3 min, which do you guys think is better?
 
yeah but is it just me or does really cold water cause "the boys" to into hiding and cause an pain down there?

so how cold should it be?

man just thinking about the role temp. plays in Penis Enlargement is amazing. we warm wrap them or even soak in warm water before and after a good Penis Enlargement session for loosing things up. we can also chill them to boost test. levels.
 
If it actually DID raise your test levels, which I'm pretty sure it doesn't. Its going to raise such a small unnoticable ammount that it's not even worth it. Theres tons of products on the market specifically designed to raise your test levels , but hardly any of them work, so i doubt a cold shower is going to help either. If it were true, it would be a staplemark of the body building community which it is not. There is almost nothing you can do to raise your test levels to any signifigant ammount, unless you have some sort of deficiency of someting like zinc, or unless you do steroids.
 
I take cold showers and sometimes add Ice in the bath to make it colder.
It relaxes me alot, but I always knew about what it does for the testosterone.
Many athletics do it, I myself did it alot when I was into fitness.
But Medjuan, even when the facts are presented some will still not accept it.
I dont think the raise in testosterone would be huge, but it should increase alittle.
Thats besides the point anyway, because the author of the thread asked does cold showers increase testosterone....the answer is yes it does, but not like say supplement....but that doesn't mean its useless.
Pure Ignorance, and a lack of understanding is what blinds people to something that can help them, and indeed be done so simply.
It will never take off to peak levels in the BB world, because its not a particulerly nice thing having cold water or icy water going over your private regions...so take the easy route and intake supplements....theirs the answer to that.
 
Excellent now were getting somewhere. So how long and how cold should the water be? I can handle pretty cold water but at one point it's so cold I can't help but jumping out. Also should I do this for the whole shower or just couple min?
 
Just "douse"... get in, run the shower cold for a couple of seconds, then get out.

Many people use buckets of cold water and dump it over their head. I have done versions of this associated with russian and japanese martial and spiritual arts.

You DO need to give it time though. Don't expect an effect (like with eveything else) in a couple of days.

I doubt it, but various exercises,particularly progressive resistance(weight training) will.


Effects of physical exercise and cold stimulation on serum testosterone level in men.

Sakamoto K, Wakabayashi I, Yoshimoto S, Masui H, Katsuno S.

Department of Hygiene, Hyogo College of Medicine.

The concentrations of testosterone (TS) and other related hormones in serum were examined before and after physical exercise with a bicycle ergometer (90 Watts, 20 min.) and a cold water stimulation in 32 19-year-old males. While exercising, the serum TS level significantly increased by 20.8% (p less than 0.05), the luteinizing hormone (LH) level by 3.6% (p less than 0.05) and noradrenaline (NA) level by 140.0% (p less than 0.01). During cold water stimulation, TS decreased by 10.0%, LH increased by 22.1% and NA decreased by 23.8%. Based on changes in hormone levels within the individual during the loads. there was a significant positive correlation coefficient (r) between TS and LH, and between TS and NA, with r (TS-LH) = 0.399 (p less than 0.05) and r (TS-NA) = 0.481 (p less than 0.05) for physical exercise, while r (TS-LH) = 0.403 (p less than 0.05) and r (TS-NA) = 0.431 (p less than 0.05) for cold water stimulation, respectively. These results suggest that physical exercise increases TS level in serum by increasing LH and NA levels, but these tendencies were not found with cold water stimulation.
 
I like the way this is going.

Now, in that abstract, it talks about "cold water stimulation". I would not doubt the results they got, but it sounds to me like they took samples during the exposure to cold water or maybe inmediately after.
If cold water temporarily lower testosterone, I would expect repeated (daily maybe) exposure to cold water to cause a response in the body, raising test levels to counter this decrease.
I am no biologist or doctor, but this makes sense to me. What do you think?
 
Splak look there's no reason to discuss this any further. Redz I'm sorry, but your I think it's more your pure ignorance and lack of understanding here no offense. Assuming you could boost your test levels by 5% with the cold water treatment, it is definetly NOT worth it. Having to endure cold water just for something totally unproven? Thats a bit much. Average test levels are between 400-800, so lets say 5% of 600, that's a raise of 30. Thats not worth shit. You're not going to notice any difference at all with anything. The only thing high test levels help anyways is your body for excercise. IMO test levels have very little to do with Penis Enlargement, at least in the average level range. i dont think anyone on the high end of average is going to gain faster than the low end of average, so there is really no point in doing it at all, unless your a hardcore lifter and really desire that extra 5% gain.
 
Did not know this, does anyone have data on this?

Medjuan,

You need to be careful of believing everything that you read on the net. Anyone can write up a pile of shit and post it on the internet as gospel truth... but it's still shit. Those two references were a commercial and an opinion, and both were worthless in answering the question posed about testoserone levels.

Try to reference scientific sources or at least credible opinion in the future. Anaconda posted an abstract from a scientific journal, which is credible, albeit still open to debate.

Cheers!

Very true, I was only posting those as food for discussion, not as an absolute truth as I only took a few minutes to find them without researching as much as one would need to in order to claim them as fact.
 
Ok well I'd just like to say that I don't believe we've reached an actual conclusion. Lower testosterone immediatley after a shower is EXPenis EnlargementCTED, the whole idea behind it is your killing all this sperm, it's cold as hell so your body turns on certain survival responses and steps up testosterone production for the future because it thinks it needs it. At least thats the ongoing theory behind the cold showers idea so the study that found lower t levels right after the shower proves nothing. Neither do we have proof that they truly work. Man I wish we had some sort of methodical objective way of testing some of these theories out cause as of now once again we really have nothing and I hate not knowing the truth.
 
I believe sperm count and testosterone levels are independent of each other. Also, "survival responses" correlate with a drop in testosterone.
 
God I hate not knowing. We should donate, get like an [words=http://www.mattersofsize.com/join-now.html]MOS[/words] intern or something who'll be our human guiniea pig. Anything that comes to our minds we can make him do and test out.
 
Even if cold showers do have a small effect on test levels i don't see what benefit it would be to pe,ive ran several aas cycles over the last two years at 750mg-1000mg test Enanth a week and the only benefit as far as pe goes was an increase in sex drive which made it easier to maintain erections while jelqing.
 
Old thread I know but guys have mentioned about cold wraps and showers. From my research since posting in this thread I have noted on more than several occasions that the great oldtime strongmen and bodybuilders took cold baths but it was a brief dip in and out again.
 
I posted on this a while ago but I don't know what the thread was called.
 
Maybe we can all agree on a luke warm shower:)
 
I have been doing the cold shower thing for awhile. Cold showers help with healthy skin,hair,etc. And if your one of these who have bags under your eyes these will reverse that effect.

One thing I have learned as those bags get worse when your around heated areas over time(Blazing hot showers,jacuzzi) cause the heat makes them retain moisture. Cold shower tighten your skin and reverse that saggy looking skin.

I always take cold showers after working out and I fell so refreshed.
 
Yup the good ol' Scotish showers. They have been around before all of us, and they are suppossed to help you mantain a good overall health.. I dont like cold water too much but when I do it I feel "accomplished". Lately I've been trying to do things that I would't usually do. And it feels good.:) I believe there's some truth to alternating between hot and cold water. Have fun with it.

I've also heard of studies that say sperm count goes up in the winter. This makes sense since sperm production happens at below 98.6 degrees F, which is why your nuts are external organs.

I also go hiking/canoeing a lot, and if I take a jump in the lake, river or stream my muscles feel a LOT better the next day and I sleep better that night too.

Besides, who gives a shit about testosterone? I've never heard of any correlation between T levels and Penis Enlargement gains, and there's a lot more going on in your body than testosterone. If you're healthy, you'll have a healthy T level.
 
Cold water flushes metabolic waste so its great after a work out. I've heard it also causes the body to increase metabolism in order to generate heat but I can't confirm that one.
