The Anti-Inflammatory Trap
Cold water reduces inflammation. But inflammation is the signal for muscle growth! If you plunge immediately after lifting, you blunt the hypertrophy signal. You are icing away your gains.
Timing is Key
Do it on rest days. Do it before cardio. Do not do it after lifting.

Trend Alert
Most people do it for the Instagram story, not the health benefits.
