Just did my first cold plunge after a workout

Wow the feeling afterwards is amazing

Fine if it’s after an aerobic/endurance workout, but it will impair muscle tissue repair after weight training for strength and, especially, hypertrophy workouts.

It was after a run!

But good to know it should not be done after weight training

It can be done in the morning before weight training?

Seems fine, get the neurochemicals going too. I wouldn’t immediately go from ice bath to lifting, as that could contribute to injury. You’d just need more time to warm up and/or more warm up movements to prevent pulls, strains, etc.
