the cold plunge? it's just a cold pool at the spa i go to every week. i do 15min in the sauna as hot as i can tolerate and then stay in the cold for as long as possible. when i first started this a year ago i could only do 1min in the cold. there's all kinds of good benefits for the brain and body with heat/cold exposure

Isn’t dangerous to go from hot to cold instantly? I would imagine it could cause heart problems

What’re you on and what’re your goals

All natty. Only thing i "take" is a protein shake in the mornings, just normal gold standard whey isolate i think that i put a scoop of aminos in. used to take creatine but it did not agree with me/possibly helped give me gyno.

my goals would be to push more weight. im like 6'3" 185 relatively skinny, ideally would love to get to 195-200. I have lifted for years now, but more or less casually. i hit chest, back, shoulders, legs, arms all seperate, 5 days a week ideally. going on like a year now of being back in the gym post covid. Most exercises i do 4 sets, 12-10-8-6. typically do all the same lifts week in week out, swapping stuff out here and there if the machine/space im looking to use is currently being used. do not track any of it though in depth, just keep note of what i did last in my notes to have proper space between body parts lifted

i workout solo and kinda hate asking for spots, so i kinda do think my issue regarding moving up in weight on some barbell activities could be related to that, but in general i dont move my weight up enough, just not sure if its because i literally cant or if its a mental thing and i just think i cant, but can.
going to start starting my exercises with more weight on the first set to try and see what my capabilities are, and treat last year as my get back.

you just like me in a lot of ways you described so maybe i can help even though im not a crazy lifter or anything

i can only gain strength with straight sets really (same reps and weight for each set) so that might be better for you at a sufficiently hard weight than these drop sets you’re doing.

i also workout solo without a spotter so i do reps to failure with dumbbells on the last set for each muscle group (so that way i can completely fail out without needing a spot).

in terms of gaining weight im 6’4 205 and i used to have trouble getting bigger past that 185 mark too especially while staying lean. i dont use supplements or anything. i just eat a ton of food tbh and make sure i stay active as hell. really the only way. tbh i still feel skinny anyways at this height so i might cut back down to be shredded #grassisalwaysgreener
