As a recreational lifter, I’ve found that it helps recovery and gets rid of/reduces soreness. This is something that I discovered by accident and didn’t go into with any biases. One day I just turned on the cold water by mistake and found it invigorating and fun.

I later found out that athletes like Klokov, WSM Hafthor, etc use this themselves to speeden up recovery.

Pain killers what they call them. Playing while hurt only exacerbates and existing condition. And shortens a career. A short life or glory rather than a life of quiet desperation.

For the most part, recovery methods make you feel better while feeling that you’re doing something, without doing anything destructive, like rushing back into training.

Fielders take icebaths, too.
