Our football team used to do them after training. They are fine if it is only up to your waist, if it's up to your neck your whole body goes into shock. One bastard on our team used to spend ten minutes in the ice bath. Mad fucker

If I was a player and the manager ordered me to get in an ice bath, I'd refuse, even if it meant I had to find another club. I just couldn't do it, when I'm on holiday it takes me about half an hour to get in the sea, as I inch my way in gradually. Same with swimming pools.

Ice bath? Fuck right off with that shit.

If you ever travel to northern Norway let me know, I know som ace places for outdoor swimming. Water isn't that cold, your crotch only looks like a pussy after 30 secs.

Imagine the shrinkage....it happened to poor George Costanza.

I always fly into the sea with a big stick and flag and then slowly come out and plant the stick and claim the beach for Canada.

Parts of teh Mayan riveria, Domenican Republic and North Sea coast of Holland are now Canadian territory.

I've had one once. My findings: three Adam's apples is not fun.

Just jump in. You get a big aching pain in your gooch once you get in but then you adjust.

Ice baths are for Pussy Yuppies

Footy players should be hot and smelly after the game and be able to pick drided bits of mud off there knees for days after the match

Next thing you will be asking for showers and them things you wash your feet in when your in Spain

where are all the proper men

That wouldnt be too bad then, I always thought it was meant to be up to your neck.

I'm just waiting for a CL game between Tromsø I.L. and Liverpool. It'll be a part of TLW folklore.

Paula Radcliffe and other marathon runners swear by them. I personally tried it once when I trained for my marathon and never again. A cold shower was about as much as I could bear.

But I remember reading recently in a running magazine that the benefits of ice baths have been exaggerated and they're actually not worth it.

Haha, a plastic pitch game in the snow like that Chelsea game in 97.

I draw the line at Costner/Houston collaborations. While I'm at it, not seen Robin Hood - KoT, or Top Gun or any other* No.1-for-years ballad enduced crud film.

* except 4 weddings, Ghost, Karate Kid (although was no.2, not no.1) . . . .

My ex forced me to watch it. How come you haven't seen Top Gun?

I envisage serious cock shrivelling in an ice bath, to answer John G.

Berlin put me off.

It's seriously good, so many twists and turns. Get it watched.

Stouffer · #45 (**permalink**) 27th March 2008, 10:58 AM

Top Gun is damn good, took my breath away.
