Steve Rogers was a sub-average man.\u00a0 Too puny. Too sickly to be accepted in the army.<\/p>\n

Couldn\u2019t score a date with a lady and got zero respect from other men.<\/p>\n

Steve sound familiar?<\/p>\n

Because he soon became one of the greatest superheroes of all-time (in my opinion)…Captain America.<\/p>\n

In Captain America The First Avenger (2011), Steve was strapped to a table\u2026 needles shoved in his arms\u2026<\/p>\n

And in minutes the guy transforms from weak and frail, to a testosterone pumping, muscle bound, powerhouse\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cA defender born in the hour of need – destined to be a living symbol of the glory of America\u201d (quote from the comics)…<\/p>\n

I used to collect them as a kid\u2026<\/p>\n

I think about comics in the shower sometimes\u2026<\/p>\n

Because when I step in a cold shower, I feel like an everyday, average Joe.<\/p>\n

Yet each minute I spend freezing my marbles off, I actually feel like I\u2019m powering-up as a man.<\/p>\n

By the time my 5-minute shower is finished I can take on the world like Captain America, himself. Yet I wasn\u2019t always a \u201ccold shower guy\u2026<\/p>\n

In fact, a few months ago you couldn\u2019t pay me to take one. I was too weak minded.<\/p>\n

And didn\u2019t have the nuts to sack up (literally) and be a man about it.<\/p>\n

Because when you breakdown the benefits of cold showers for guys\u2026 it\u2019s pretty much a no-brainer.<\/p>\n

Your body needs it. That is, if you want to be an optimal man. And if you\u2019re on the fence still, this list will change your mind.<\/p>\n

Cold Shower Benefit #1 – More Testosterone<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Many guys think this cold water and testosterone connection is a myth.<\/p>\n

What they don\u2019t realize is warm showers, a dip in the hot-tub, or ten minutes spent in the sauna is worse for your testosterone levels.<\/p>\n

In fact, a recent study published in the Journal of Reproductive Systems shows the best temperature for your balls is 31-36 \u00b0C (87-96 \u00b0F).<\/p>\n

Yet our average shower temps range between 108 – 112\u00b0F.<\/p>\n

Meaning, you\u2019re overheating your two buddies down below.<\/p>\n

Another interesting study shows men have higher sperm quality, volume, and motility in the colder months of the year compared to the warmer\u2026<\/p>\n

Which is a big indicator of testicular health\u2026<\/p>\n

And the healthier your testicles, the more promising your testosterone production.<\/p>\n

Yet if you\u2019re still a bit skeptical, one last study published by the Thrombosis Research Institute cited cold showers in fact, boost testosterone levels in men.<\/p>\n

Which is great for muscle growth, skyrocketing libido levels, and having better energy levels throughout the day\u2026<\/p>\n

Which, speaking of\u2026<\/p>\n

Cold Shower Benefit #2 – Abundant Energy<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Every time I finish my cold shower after my anabolic running workout<\/a>, I feel invigorated and energized.<\/p>\n

My heart\u2019s been pumping hard for the past five-minutes. I\u2019m breathing heavy. I\u2019ve done a fair amount of shivering to this point (which becomes less and less the more you do it)…<\/p>\n

And I can feel your blood circulation amping up. It feels darn good.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s like taking a shot of caffeine straight to your veins.<\/p>\n

Truthfully, I feel energized for another four to five hours after\u2026 like, wide awake, alert, and focused. \u00a0It\u2019s the perfect \u201cwake up call\u201d for your body. And you can use it strategically for your benefit…<\/p>\n

Sometimes I take showers in the middle of the day to avoid the mid-afternoon crash.<\/p>\n

Or if I\u2019m working late, I\u2019ll take a cold shower after dinner so my body feels pumped with energy. I put all the night owls to shame.<\/p>\n

Regardless the time, utilize cold showers to optimize your day.<\/p>\n

Warm showers may feel comfortable and soothing\u2026 yet to be honest, they\u2019ll probably keep dragging through the morning until you have a few cups of coffee… A cold shower will give you a kick in the naked-rear from the start.<\/p>\n

Cold Shower Benefit #3 – Improved Circulation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Good circulation doesn\u2019t sound sexy. Yet it\u2019s kind of a big deal.<\/p>\n

Because circulation is crucial for building muscle and having sex – two things most men live and die by.<\/p>\n

Good blood circulation helps deliver more oxygen to your muscles when exercising…<\/p>\n

This delays the process of lactic acid buildup and allows you to perform one or two more reps you wouldn\u2019t be able to perform with poor circulation\u2026<\/p>\n

Allowing for greater opportunity for muscle growth\u2026 and can even help you lift more weight.<\/p>\n

As for sex, we all know what we need down there\u2026 blood. And this goes for women too.<\/p>\n

In order for men and women to get sexually aroused, we must have sufficient blood flow to our anatomy to \u201cdo the job\u201d it needs for sex.<\/p>\n

What do you think Nitric Oxide\u2026 the #1 chemical in Viagra accomplishes?<\/p>\n

You guessed it\u2026 increases blood circulation to your manhood.<\/p>\n

Quick tip\u2026 making love a cold shower\u2026 horrible idea.<\/p>\n

Cold Shower Benefit #4 – More NRWs<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a blessing and a curse those \u201cno-reason woody\u2019s\u201d.<\/p>\n

Or NRWs…that\u2019s what my friends and I called them in high school.<\/p>\n

You know, where your \u201cmanhood\u201d suddenly springs into action and you\u2019ve got your soldier standing at full-salute for no reason whatsoever.<\/p>\n

And it always happens at the worst times… like when you\u2019re standing around in your P.E. shorts. Or sitting on the school bus\u2026<\/p>\n

It was annoying back then\u2026 yet most men would kill to get them back.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve noticed with cold showers, that\u2019s exactly what happens.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure if it\u2019s the improved blood circulation, the boost in testosterone, or a combination of the two\u2026 Just be prepared to feel like a testosterone-raging high-schooler again.<\/p>\n

Cold Shower Benefit #5 – Stress Adaptation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

According to this study published in the U.S. National Library of Medicine, cold showers act as a small form of oxidative stress on your nervous system\u2026<\/p>\n

Which is one of the reasons your heart begins to race and you start shivering.<\/p>\n

Yet overtime, your body adapts to this stress. And eventually, you can stand in a cold shower without wincing.<\/p>\n

I promise you, the first time, your mind will go haywire. You\u2019ll be at a constant back and forth battle between the tough side and weak side of your brain. One arm will reach to turn the shower knob to warm\u2026 the other will pull your arm down.<\/p>\n

However, the more you do it\u2026 the tougher you become.<\/p>\n

This simple 5-minute shower instantly makes you a man of resilience.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s like a source of morning pride too. You\u2019re doing something most men wouldn\u2019t dare.<\/p>\n

Cold Shower Benefit #6 – Fertility Boost<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s built into every man\u2026 the need to spread his seed and procreate. It\u2019s evolutionary.<\/p>\n

And cold showers each morning will help you do just that\u2026 making this a potentially good option for men struggling with fertility.<\/p>\n

Which, if you take hot baths, just stop, man.<\/p>\n

A study published University of California San Francisco shows men who stopped taking regular hot baths increased sperm counts a whopping 491%.<\/p>\n

In fact, experiments from the 1950\u2019s show hot baths were an effective contraceptive. One study shows men who take a 30 minute warm bath every other day for three weeks were infertile for the next six months!<\/p>\n

Clearly warm water isn\u2019t helping your swimmers out one bit.<\/p>\n

Now, will switching from warm showers to cold showers make a massive difference in fertility?<\/p>\n

Maybe not. However, there\u2019s no doubt the hotter the balls\u2026 the weaker the sperm.<\/p>\n

So if you\u2019ve had fertility troubles until this point, chilling your marbles in the shower may be worth a shot.<\/p>\n

Cold Shower Benefit #7 – Accelerated Recovery<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a reason elite athletes take a cold ice bath after a long day of practice.<\/p>\n

One\u00a0study shows an ice bath after intense training helps your muscles recover faster.<\/p>\n

And because you probably don\u2019t have an ice bath laying around\u2026 a cold shower is the next best option.<\/p>\n

Cold showers will help boost circulation and remove the lactic acid that\u2019s locks up your legs and keeps you from bringing your toothbrush up to your mouth after an arduous arm day.<\/p>\n

The greater your muscle recovery, the better workout you\u2019ll have the next day. And the next…<\/p>\n

Cold Shower Benefit #8 – Fights Depression<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

A study published in the U.S. National Library of Medicine shows cold water can help treat depression.<\/p>\n

Cold water showers, as unpleasant as they can be in the beginning, release dopamine in your brain. Also known as one of the feel good hormones.<\/p>\n

Which is similar to working out when you think about it\u2026 because workouts can be painful when done correctly\u2026 however, there is an endorphin rush that makes you feel amazing after.<\/p>\n

So if you\u2019re feeling down lately, cold showers are the perfect pick-me-up.<\/p>\n
