That's not what he says at all. He says avoid them immediately following a workout.
i dont care what he says, i was posting what the meta analysis says. they should be avoided post workout or any time hypertrophy or performance is the goal.
they are essentially useless other than giving a jolt of mental alertness.

I can tell you, after a marathon, they are a God-send.

oh they 100% blunt pain but doesnt speed up recovery. atleast based on the actual studies.

Why not a bathtub?
Thats what I use and I freeze a whole case of bottled waters to chill the water

Now sauna on the other hand is really good for overall health
Who needs a sauna in LA, LOLOLOLOL??

Cold plunges and cyro are dumb imo unless you are just looking for mental edge or mental alertness
Creation of brown adipose tissue is another benefit.

doesnt reduce it but does seem to have an effect on glucose. as far as the BAT creation maybe as the data is not clear and even if it does and it replaces white fat, it doesnt seem to have an effect on body fat levels overall.

In summary, modest intermittent cold exposure does not reduce body weight or fat mass in mice but appears to transiently improve glucose homeostasis. The stimulation of BAT by cold has similarities to the stimulation of muscle by physical activity. Reducing the compensatory increase in food intake seen with cold exposure would be an effective way to achieve weight loss and improve metabolic status. Devising optimal use of cold exposure requires understanding how to combine it with exercise, food restriction, and pharmacologic therapy.

Abstract
The current study aimed to examine the influence of body fat percentage on thermal responses to water immersion at the two temperature extremes used in athletic recovery, by comparing the thermal responses of low- and high-fat individuals to immersion in hot water (HWI) or cold water (CWI). Thirty-nine subjects completed a body composition assessment (to determine low-fat and high-fat groups), and 15 minutes of either CWI (n = 20) or HWI (n = 19), followed by 30 minutes of passive rest. Core temperature (Tc), skin temperature (Tsk), and thermal sensation (TSS) were recorded at various time points during immersion and throughout the rest period. There were no significant differences between the low- and high-fat groups during CWI; however, the low-fat group had a significantly lower Tc compared to the high-fat group at 10, 20, and 30 minutes post-CWI (p < 0.05). During HWI, the low-fat group had a significantly higher Tc at 5 minutes (p < 0.05). In the low-fat group, TSS was significantly lower at 15 minutes of CWI (p = 0.03) and significantly higher at 15 minutes of HWI (p = 0.03), relative to the high-fat group. There were no significant differences between groups for Tsk measurements. Percentage body fat affects physiological and perceptual responses to immersion in both hot and cold water. Current hydrotherapy practices may need to be individualized to ensure optimal recovery.

Cold water immersion, although awesome, is Fake Science. But it does make you feel good imo. if that helps you stay consistent....then hit the cold plunge.
