Interesting! Thanks for sharing this, made me revisit the huberman podcast on this topic:

He echoes what you said, summarizing: "If your goal is hypertrophy and strength don't do cold immersion until 4 hours or more after your workout".

If we can trust the studies Huberman cites, you can get many benefits from cold plunge and also avoid that post-workout caveat if it's relevant.

I personally would not trust Huberman. Just look at his blatant shilling of questionable products for sponsorship (AG1, being the best example). Look at the studies he cites, I suppose, but there’s plenty of low quality studies that can be cited to try to prove a bad opinion.
