Post warm water pumping icewater cooldown

I know there has been a few threads about this, but none of them are very good. I’m wondering if anyone has ever tried very cool water immediately after a warm water pump session. Post fitness and athletic workout ice baths have become popular in the past few years, and someone asked me about their efficacy in relation to PE. So I spent this morning reading any threads I could find about the subject on Thunder’s, and then went wandering the inter-net to learn about their use and efficacy in different training circles. There doesn’t seem to be anything conclusive out there concerning ice bath cool-downs for either. I myself am probably not going to try it anytime soon. Mostly because my routine seems to be working, so I’m not messing with it. Also I can’t imagine dipping my warm plump, post-pump session penis into cold water. And, it seems to me keeping the penis as expanded and engorged as much as possible for as long as possible is the best way to make gains. I just don’t think the vasoconstriction caused by the cold can in any way be beneficial. What do you think? What have you tried? I can’t believe it hasn’t been tried and probably failed to produce results. If it really worked, we’d probably all be doing it by now.

Applying the icewater to a flaccid dick doesnt feel good.
BUT doing ICE water in a water pump feels amazing. It takes some will to get in but once you have applied a vacuum it seems rather nice.
I feel like it facilitates faster healing which might be beneficial if you have intense sessions and want to do another one the Next day.

The hang after an ICE cold pumping session seems to be bigger and longer lasting.
If I do another intense clamp or pump set soon after the tissue is really aching. It certain has a different effect then warm water.

It’s funny reading this post now. If you see my “RayBbaby’s pumping log” or whatever my daily schedule was that I kept, you’ll see that I did end up doing post hot water pump session ice water cool downs. Which I loved. They definitely lightened the post pumping darkness, and created a longer, fuller, more turgid post session flaccid. In retrospect, I gotta say I highly recommend cold water cool downs. The warm water and vacuum encourages expansion, and then the ice water kind of temporarily solidifies your post pump flaccid size.

;) found it searching over google. Always interested in “who else does this?”.

I second the “anti discoloration” ability. The vasoconstriction of the skin seems to push out any iron/blood deposits.

It sounds like you just put your dick in ice water or did you also pump with ice water? I recommend that highly. The normal reaction of the body is to turtle to the ice but under a vacuum it cant.

I would do my pump session of twenty minutes or whatever it ended up being with hot water, then refill the BM with ice water and pump back up inside it. Not to the maximal vac limits I would usually pump at, but at a relatively strong level of vacuum.

Seems like cold water may help reduce inflammation or soreness from a heavy workout load.

But you said it helped your flaccid? When I jump in a pool ol’ boy shrivels up. lol

Yeah, but your not just jumping into cold water. You are pumping with it. I thought the same thing as you, until I tried it. And after twenty minutes of hot water pumping, your dick is hot all the way through, and literally emanating heat. It’s the difference between having a post pump chubby for a half an hour, or four hours. And anyone who has tried it reports the same result.

Yep, just dipping in ice cold water seems counterproductive.

But in the pump it creates a whole different animal.

Gonna try this tomorrow and report back.

Actual ice water or just as cold as it comes from the tap?

You will get much better impact with ICE cold water inside the pump. But you might start with just cold water? Be sure to not pump too high.

I’ll def try finishing off with ice cold water tomorrow, after I’m done with my post warm water pumping, stretches and jelqs. Promise I won’t overpump :)

Would be interesting to see if it stays hanging fully extended as Raybbaby got it to do, since I’m definitely a grower not a shower.

I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. By the effect, not the cold water. A trick I stared doing was filling my BM with cold water to about 3/4 full, then dumping that cold water plus a handful of ice cubes into an emppty pitcher, which I then kept right next to the bath tub. Then I could dump the hot, Slapp my penis on each leg a couple times to make sure it would get some fresh blood, dump the pitcher full of ice water into the pump and then pump back up to about 80% for 5 to 8 minutes. And wow nice big fatty of a flaccid for the next few hours.

I feel like that timeframe is about right. Anything more even if one is conditioned seems too much.

Did you ever try to go for longer or more sets with the ice?

Also super-setting warm-cold-warm-cold contrasting might have a beneficial effect too.

"Alternating hot and cold, lymph vessels dilate and contract to essentially "pump" and move stagnant fluid out of the area. This positively affects the inflammation process, which is the body’s primary mechanism for healing damaged tissue. "

Yes, I did try the back and forth cold to hot, but I didn’t see much, if any difference in post pump session size. And adding much in the way of full vacuum, longer times, even in the n the cold water inevitably led to the ol’ donut effect. So, I would do about five minutes, maybe a bit more, at what I felt was about 80% vacuum. I often times am reaching the 20 cm mark on the Bathmate tube by the end of the session, so when I pump back up in the ice water I rarely try to exceed the 18cm mark. Again, I mostly go by feel, using the length scale as a guide.

I tried this and I’m pretty sure I made a note of it somewhere in my thread "RayBbaby’s Bathmate log" or some such thing.

Raybbaby’s Bathmate log and expansion study

Tried it this morning and it did seem to hang a little fuller for a couple of hours but the effect has worn off by now - it’s just before 12pm here. The water probably wasn’t cold enough, I’ll try tomorrow with actual ice cubes instead of dunking my gel ice-pack into a mug of cool water like I did today. Summer here so the cold water is actually running room temperature and the ice-pack couldn’t bring it down low enough.

Thing is, I do my stretching and jelqs right after my hot water pumping. The expansion from the pump helps me get a better grip than other times and stretch it out further, so I don’t want to switch that around. I do tend to lose most of the overall expansion by the end of those, though.

Would you suggest I do one more set of hot water pumping back up to full expansion before the cold water? Or just pump cold to full or almost full?
