Sauna

[Fadez]

This thread is epic! Nice build @Brock Id love to build my own… not exactly in the budget. I love ending my warm shower with a cold minute or two. @mclaincausey that is a solid routine! Your practice is inspiring me to add the elements in like that

@Fadez thanks man. I gotta say, I come out of it with a level of serenity that is difficult for me to otherwise achieve these days with work stresses and a toddler.

Extremely envious of Brock’s setup. I have to go to a club for my fix.

Fantastic design and finish @Brock!

Thankfully, I have a sauna king my apparent complex, but nothing as impressive as yours.

Off to sweat now.

I recently tried cold plunge for the first time, quite the experience!

I heard it described as micro-dosing hypothermia in a meme once, which really tickled me..

@mclaincausey I saw this and it reminded me of you:

@T4920 This one?

[mclaincausey]

[T4920]

@seawolf haha yes that's the one, I love that page.

@T4920 I randomly saw this after @mclaincausey shared his explanation of torturing himself with extreme temperatures. Serendipity!

[mclaincausey]

Torture indeed. Ya gotta move as quickly as you can between extremes and a plunge ain’t a plunge unless you submerge your head, which very few people do at the club. It feels like a bellows is violently pulling all the air out of your lungs to do the plunge. It is not comfortable. Then you kind of stabilize a bit and I personally try to count breaths to distract from the discomfort.

Then jumping into the hot tub it feels cold for a while and like tiny needles are poking your neurons.

Consult your doctor etc but I love it.

@mclaincausey medically this is a no-go for me. But I’m glad you enjoy it!
