Yeah no cold exposure an hour after workout according to Dr. Rhonda Patrick and P.D Mangan.
I've been exposing my self to the cold since june/july I think, warming up with Wim Hof's breathing technique. I've been able to hold my breath in ice cold water for 3 minutes. (personal record 3.40 10 years ago when I was 13-14).
I have bought a plastic bath tub and then I can fill it with ice cubes and frozen water bottles.
I have really come to love the cold.
When I was staying up all night to watch Donald Trump win, the first snow was falling in my town, and I went out in shorts to "dive" into the fallen snow.
One day I also took a girl to the sea to do a night time dive. Adrenaline rush for both of us and a nice and adventurous thing to do with a girl. She didn't want to have sex in the car after because i got a little sand on my balls which probably wouldn't be so nice to have in her vagina.
A very nice thing is that I never have to buy a winter jacket again. I just wear a shirt and a west even though it's at freezing point and under where I live (0 degrees celsius). If it's beginning to get really cold, I'll just do the Wim Hof deep breathing where I try to take in more air than i exhale.
Also, I have had a really loose patella and have had some bad inflammation in my left knee for 4 years now. When i go in the cold the pain disappears.
It does so because I fill my blood cells with oxygen by doing 30 deep breaths, and then on the exhalation I hold my breath for a minute or so. That puts out a huge amount of adrenalin which causes blood vessel contractions, which means less heat loss because of the smaller surface area of blood vessels in the body. The lack of CO2 and high amount of O2 in the blood also makes the pain signal less intense. (According to Dr. Rhonda Patrick).
And then There is the down regulation of inflammatory cytokines from the cold exposure.
