Ice baths after lifting: in a 12-week study, 10 minutes of cold-water immersion after each of two weekly strength sessions led to smaller gains in muscle and strength than an easy bike cool-down.
Study: Roberts LA, Raastad T, Markworth JF, et al. (2015). Post-exercise cold water immersion attenuates acute anabolic signalling and long-term adaptations in muscle to strength training. Journal of Physiology 593(18):4285-4301.
If muscle is the goal, skip the cold plunge right after lifting. Sleep and protein do the real recovery work.
