davey_83 Posted May 1, 2022 Author Share Posted May 1, 2022 So of course massively enjoying the series. Over half term went up to North Wales with the family on holiday and came across an absolutely unreal spot along the Watkin Path, Caernarfon. Happen to visit on a day with blazing sunshine however being April it still wasn't what you'd call warm. Folks were going in with seal socks and wetsuits, not this little Hoffer. Wife, kids and I all had a dip and loved it. As cold as you can imagine, but invigorating rating 11. Under a 3hr drive and forecast sun, 💯 recommend the hike and bring your trunks ☺️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted June 17, 2022 Author Share Posted June 17, 2022 Still doing the Wim Hof Method 18 months on cold exposure (God send with this week's temperatures) and the mindful breathing exercises. Feel great, positive, in control, relaxed, healthy, shake colds in a couple days, maintaining weight easily. Great clip below too *turn of captions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted July 18, 2022 Author Share Posted July 18, 2022 We all on cold showers this week yeah 🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted October 23, 2022 Author Share Posted October 23, 2022 Been a great Summer, lovely warm consistent temps which made cold showers an absolute pleasure. However, with Autumn being well and truly upon us those cold showers take a bit more grit to stand under. First cold bath of the season, fill up allow to chill overnight and get in! These are actually easier than a cold shower believe it or not. Will look to chuck a bag of ice in for the next one. Coming up to 2yrs of the Wim Hof Method and still very much an advocate. Health body and mind 🙌 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEADPHONES Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I think "a bit more grit" is underplaying it a bit. Tougher man than me. I even let the shower run for a few seconds to get UP to temps before getting in😄. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted December 14, 2022 Author Share Posted December 14, 2022 No way!!! This month marks 2yrs of the WIm Hof Method *science backed influence over immune response. Cold showers of late or brutal but won't overcome. Having young children I pick up all sorts from them, wife that's works in healthcare for several years also doesn't help. I've had one cold in the last 2yrs that was gone in a few days and considering the period in history we all find ourselves in, think that's very good. Above the WHM is the psychology behind not doing it, which intrigues me. I know so so many people who prior to recent times/synthetic intervention were fit and well, now have had a number of rough colds, aches pains prolonged coughing, shakes, feeling weak the list goes on. However after looking into natural benefits of the below, wouldn't want to help themselves. I find it amazing and also sad. However as I understand reality, we have something inside of us all that doesn't always want for our best interest. It's one thing to know it's there and why, it's another to not even be aware.

davey_83 Posted March 8, 2023 Author Share Posted March 8, 2023 Only my second cold dip of the year, the snow today certainly added to the experience. Mind over matter 👍 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissanman312 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 What temperature is that at Dave ....I was watching a huberman vid the other day where he was saying there's no data to say less than 10 degrees is necessary......I'm just trying to be a pussy here 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been filled all week and left out so mighty cold I know that. For the first 30-40sec you body is screaming get out it's not worth it, then you settle in control the mindset and you're good. Not everything can be explained using data, resilience for example. If the Wim Hof method is good enough for the Novax Djokovic, its good enough for me 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted September 9, 2023 Author Share Posted September 9, 2023 We all having our cold showers this week 😁 So update, took up running thought I'd give it a go as a good pal had entered the Sutton Fun Run for the 4th time. Completed the 14k around Sutton and Sutton Park known for its hills in 93mins. The day was roasting hot too which didn't help us first timers. Very proud achievement as never been into distance running before. Banged out a little 4k this morning before it gets too hot 🥵 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran O'Quick Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Jeez, 14k is a bit far for a 'fun' run on a hot day. Must have been carnage for the unprepared. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey_83 Posted October 1, 2023 Author Share Posted October 1, 2023 (edited) Reached the top yesterday you beauty!! Always wanted to scale Snowdon, just maybe not lugging up the weight of a small motorbike 😳 💪 Cold shower before and after for the win!! Toughest thing I've EVER done.

The Bounty Bar Kid Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Having recently (last month) done Snowdon, kudos on doing that with all that weight. I don't exercise, at all, and 7kg of camera gear on my back was too much for me 🤣. I went up the Pyg and done the Miners. Really wanted to try Crib Goch, but glad I didn't. If I went back, I'd do it without any extra gear and make sure I trained beforehand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coz@TORQEN Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Davey mate, this can't be real I climbed Snowdon on Saturday as well, possibly THE worst and windiest weather I've ever felt. Don't know how you managed with those weights, props to you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coz@TORQEN Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 That being said though, we did take some random path, then ended up climbing near enough vertically in a boggy marsh Once we got back onto the Ranger path and actually climbed, the wind was INSANE. Had to talk my mates out of backing out at least 4 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rather sprint up TFL Escalators on my commute. Edited October 3, 2023 by GranTurismoEra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sending you photos of me in the shower again, first of all you ridiculed me and secondly you never fully paid for those extra special shots! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
