Got this from a Big gainer at MOS. (About 2 inches in 2-3 Months-)
Take a cold shower covering entire body for 5 minutes.
Cold showers or ice baths after training allows all the lactic acid and blood that has been built up trained areas to be flushed out and be replaced with fresh oxygenated blood which expediates healing and circulation (I take only cold showers and I dont smoke or take in any caffiene and its like im on viagra 24/7, 110% at the drop of a hat, girls LOVE it!)

I hate cold showers...

This sounds like torture! Ice baths?? No way!

I've been reading about this elsewhere. Seems like cold water has a lot of benefit.

I don't like cold showers either but probably you get used to it.

Health pros have been using Contrast Baths for sometime, especially in sports medicine. Alternating Hot and Cold Therapy has many benefits, one of which is "Faster Healing". The contrast of hot-cold creates a pumping of the blood in and out of the body part. The blood vessels dilate in the heat and constrict in the cold. Any stagnating swelling is reduced as it is pumped out of the body part. Inflammation is reduced as fresh blood and healing agents are pumped into the injured area. Pain is also reduced, as both hot and cold have anesthetic effects. This allows for a faster dumping of metabolic wastes and a faster delivery of fresh blood with healing nutrients, theoretically speeding up healing time.

An ice cold wrap would be an easier alternative. I just find when I do these I turtle a lot.

I'm going to go for it. By the time I'm done a big dick will be the least of the benefits I get from joining this forum.

I hate cold showers so much, but the benefits definitely seem to make sense. Not sure I can do it, though!

Well I just got out of my first cold shower. I've often made the tempature lukewarm and occasionally cold for a few seconds but tonight I just blasted myself with cold water after first warming up and soaping off with my normal warm water.

The little I read on the topic suggested I should stay under until I feel warm again which is probably around 5 minutes. Well I almost got there before I had to get out. Made my pecker and balls shrivel up tight.

I'll keep it up and see how it goes.
