Are Ice Baths Killing Your Gains?

Turns out those post-workout ice baths everyone’s obsessed with might actually be slowing down your muscle growth! New research found that plunging into icy water right after lifting weights can cut blood flow and block the nutrients your muscles need to grow. The cold might help with soreness, but it could also be holding back your progress. If you’re chasing bigger muscles, you might want to wait an hour before chilling out—or skip the ice bath altogether! #FitnessMyths #MuscleGrowth #IceBaths #Fitness
