Home Depot deep freezer sales are going to increase 20% over the next few months
Thanks bro
Matthew Burgess haha
Dude...I didn't realize this was just a chest freezer. I have one sitting in my basement collecting dust... Thanks for this weekend project, can't wait!!!
Nicholas Reay Hell yeah man, time to wipe the dust off
@@JoshBridges Yea brother!!! Time to subject myself to something I hate....cold water lol Keep up the good work!
Josh, love it! You may be interested in a thermometer controller that homebrewing stores sell for chest freezers. A lot of folks will modify a chest freezer to ferment wort at a particular temperature for the yeast. I would imagine that you could do the same for the water if you wanted. It would at least take the guess-work out of when to turn it on/off and how long to leave it on. HWPO!
Watched this some time ago. I have been doing longer and longer ice showers for the last 4 months. It has been a great addition for my routine,.Time to upgrade to the freezer. Thanks again as always sir!
Can't have one of those cus i live in an apartment, but im starting with cold showers cus coach josh told us to do so. You got pay the man!!!!!
augusto barreira Hell yeah, cold showers can get the job done
Check out wim hoff and Tim ferris!
Spot on brother, been doing this same thing with the same setup for the last year. Absolutely have noticed a stronger immune system, better recovery and a good mental edge. I have not been putting my head under though, challenge accepted.
Nole Hunter Lilley Hell yeah get after it

Facts
For people that are not the higgest fan of the cold. Wim Hof, aka the Iceman, has great advice about breathing through the cold.
As mr. Bridges here clearly explains it is about the breathing and keeping yourself calm.
As for the health benefits of cold showering and coldbaths in recent years there has been alot of succesful and positive research about this.
Great video
Onno L it’s been a game changer for me
5:02
Exactly.. If you do this 1st thing in the day, everything else in your day is a joke.
Great video thx!
A great thing you can do is you can connect your freezer with a ~30$ pool filter and it will filter your water so you don't need to waste so much water every 2-3 weeks. You just need to clean or replace your filter every 2-3 weeks. And remember to use a type of filter that is outside of a freezer. You don't want to have a filter in the water because you can get electrocuted.
2:52. So satisfying to hear that.
I have tendinitis above both kneecaps and had a hip flexor acting up on me. Started doing the ice bath about 2 weeks ago. It’s a game changer. Helped stop swelling on my hip flexor and lessened the initial pain of my tendinitis. I can’t afford a deep freezer right now, so I fill my bath tub with cold water and drop 4 cube trays worth of ice in it, then sit in it for 10 minutes. I will definitely try the freezer style when I have the funds:)
Hell yeah brother, that works
Living in the UK. cold af. filling the bathtub.. boom golden :D
Haha definitely
Got mine right after seeing that first video!! Best decision ever!
Tyler Buziecki Hell yeah
I tried to get in a cold tub last week and it was just cold bath water. I think I made it about 3 seconds. I couldn’t imagine 35 degrees GOOD NITE. I did however do the cryotherapy the other day and made it through. Felt great the next day. Love all of these videos keep it up 👊🏼👍🏼
Tim Rogers thanks for following along brother
You are such an inspiration to us all.
Picked a chest freezer and ordered it after checking some models out in our local store. It's gonna arrive in a few days. No more nightly strawls to the lake! At least not as often any more. The lake is getting too warm anyway this time of year. This will also stop my wife from being worried. She didn't like me going out in the wild taking cold dips that often. Can't wait to set it up and use it. Thanks for the tips. Keep breathing people! Love, strength and happiness from Holland!
I wanna hear more about coffee Josh!
Jon Schultz definitely going to be posting more coffee content
Look up temperature controllers on Amazon. Turns power on and off to keep freezer at a set temp works wonders on my little set up.
Hell yeah, thanks for the tip
great stuff josh! I hope recovery is going well and keep the vids coming man !
jimmytaint thanks for the support
More videos like this, please! The garage videos are great but hearing the "why" behind what you do is pretty helpful
Definitely
I KNEW THAT WAS A DEEP FREEZER!!! simplicity at it's finest!
Haha always
I'm from Brazil, and I do not speak English and I do not understand, the 2 years that I discovered cros fit games, and today I'm addicted to watching videos of crosfit.I have 30 years and at the moment I'm overweight, plus you Crosfit athletes inspired me to start my fight to lose weight, so every success for you is little yet. Receive my thank you. (Google translator😊😊)
👍🏻🏆💪🏻
Grazi Nunes glad these videos helped!
I have blocks of ice in my freezer and have to prep my crap.... I felt so stupid for not thinking of this until I saw your video. THANK YOU
sending support from the Philippines, Josh. happy to see your own channel, i always skip the road to the games just to see your scenes.
I use empty milk jugs which I put water and freeze. Temp usually about 50-55 degrees. Will eventually add more ice to bring down to 45.
One of the coolest dudes out there👍 Thanks for sharing your insight on your cold baths.
I currently work in the food industry. And we use laser temps. Sometimes not all the times. They only measure surface temp at most an inch in to 2. So it's better to use a temp you can stick in. Hope that helps anyone bridging the gap back.
Smashingcans1 thanks for the tip
Pay the fucking man! I need to find one for my 6’3” 240lb ass. Old man in a young mans game, need to keep up with these young bucks.
I use muffin trays from the dollar store to make big ice cubes. Fill a bathtub with cold water place the trays in the tube that release the ice. Remove the trays then get in
“Always unplug it... “ let’s start there. The meditation and breathing is by far and away the trick!
Great video. I'll share this with a few folks who have been talking about a cold tub!
Top quality video loads of information for a newbie thanks bro
Josh, my best friend and I are huge fans of your channel. We're currently deployed and wondering if it would be possible to have an autographed t-shirt sent out?
normally in my subscriptions i kinda scroll through to see who put stuff out. but its always nice to get some josh bridges content into my mind right before i work out
J.R. Sic hell yeah
Thank you
Never enough of you out there man. I know your not much of a tuber or a poster on any format. But we want moooooooore.
Definitely man, more to come
Josh, first off thank you for your service! I am retired military and my last deployment overseas I was attached to SPEC OPS and I have never met guys so down to earth and willing to teach us. Whether this was in the field or in the gym! I thought they would want nothing to do with our unit but it was the opposite. If you were willing to learn they would teach.
What is your opinion on cold plunging when you workout out on a daily basis or at least 4-5x a week? Some say cold plunges have a negative effect on muscle growth and strength gains, given you background what have you experienced? Some studies say after a workout its good to let some of those stressors take place so your muscles experience the damage and repair that happens naturally. So with that said, do you think its best if you workout in the afternoon/evening to cold plunge in the morning after your bodies has some what experience the protein synthesis and break down and repair?
Hope to hear back and thanks again for your service and the channel!
When you said get some ‘caulk’ I thought you meant something else at first 😂
This is crazy lol I teach at Bragg and some guys just told me that they've been doing this because they watched your video before!! lol and now they saying see it's great for you! Lol but heck NO! I'm sorry I will never freeze like that! but great advice at the end thanks Josh
NANCY W thanks for watching

Thanks for watching man
Keep it up man !
This is so awesome! Thanks Josh, as always, really informative and inspiring 👍
Thanks for the support man
Its always makes me laugh when he cracks his ownself up
Justin Ver Steeg haha
i finally finished mine but it wasn't getting cold after plugging it in for a day. Now i realize it must be due to the thermostat sensor interfering. I didn't see one in your model. For mine, I put JB water weld to the storage clips areas after i cut them from the inside walls, and while i was at it i put weld over the sensor at the interior. Do you know of anyone who follows that needed to disconnect their chest freezer's temperature control thermostat sensor, or would you have any tips on this matter?
I got mine set up on a wifi thermostat set for 35F and I unplug the unit before going in, of course for safety. Also, I run a ozone generator in the tub prior to going in. The silicone comes off, I wonder if it’s because of the ozone degrading it.
Thanks for answering my question :)
great idea! I was going to use one of those metal tubs from a tractor supply store but this seems like a better idea.
Eli Cabrera Hell yeah
is it okay to be outside? what if water comes into the electronic unit which is cooling the freezer?
Hell yeah pay the man ! Sauna next !?
Alex Berumen haha might have to
Great info on cold water immersion, helps with fat loss too. Is that a Garmin Fenix bro?
🛑🛑Good job Josh!!!🛑🛑
Chiquinho CF thanks for watching
great channel, huge fan. What part of the tub are you putting the silicone on? Is there seem line between the wall and the floor?
Thanks for making this video, now I have a idea to get my own tub. #paytheman
Spartan Matt25 Hell yeah
Badass brother, great video!!! I'll be doing to my freezer today
MAVRICK ADGATE Hell yeah
Do I need to chuck in a small chair/stool or is it ok to sit on the compressor hump?
Here's an idea from an aquarium geek, consider using a Fluval aquarium canister filter to increase the hygiene(chemical free) between water changes.
Hi Josh, I wanted to know if you had any deformation of the freezer overtime ? Lots of people have added a liner inside to make it more waterproof and tougher and I was wondering if it was necessary. Thanks
Is it ok to keep the chest freezer outside? In a place like orlando florida?
At 1:14 I had to reallyyyyyyy listen hard as to what he said you needed.
Beast man. Im still in my 52 degree stage.
What degree stage you at right now Mr. Young ?!
Namaste Nguyen staying between 50s and 60s. Next winter ill explore the 40s
Hey Josh! Thanks for this great video - inspired my to take the "plunge" - my freezer is in the mail. Curious about this setup - you've got this running on a timer AND and inkbird thermostat outlet? curious why both. I would imagine that you'd be fine simply running it on the inkbird. Is the timer to turn it fully off at night to conserve energy? Would love to know a bit more about the double power setup and how you have it configured. thanks brother!
You said wipe the sweat and or oil off, so do you do it right after working out? I'm nursing an injury but still training light as i don't want to loose everything, so it'd be great for reducing inflammation.
Thanks !
Can the lid close on you by accident, making you stuck inside?
Love it ❤
MOOSE AND SQUIRREL OMG thanks for watching
Can the actual outside dimension of chest freezers be the same but the inside have more cubic feet? Cause I’m looking at ones that seem the same size and maybe even bigger than what yours looks like but not as much cubic feet?
What do you suggest putting under the freezer to provide support with all that weight?
When I first saw you using it, I’m like why is he using a deep freezer for an ice bath! Lmaoooo. But these new videos are A1!
vinttage tee thanks for watching
Love ya
Well whirlpool should be paying you royalties for jacking their sales up! Also great tip on electrical safety, no one wants that bit of tragedy. Thanks as always sir !
Steve Adkisson thanks for watching
Great vid!
Tyler Dalton . M thanks for watching
Holy shit i never thought of getting electrocuted... i will definitely unplug it when using it
Looking online for a used chest and thanks for the tips.
Whats the outlet timer?
Iv payed the man 💪
Goran Marković Hell yeah
Ever used a Kill A Watt to measure how much electricity you're using per month?
I experienced that cold showers are harder for me then sitting in a ice bath, maybe it has something to do with the running water? Anyway both are very nice and give me a boost, thanks for sharing!
Ben Draaisma thanks for watching man
So you have a temperature controller but don't use it....?
Would you mind sharing what Bluetooth timer you use?
Josh I've been having trouble with my rotator cuff (old injury). I've been using ice on and off throughout the day which is helping but I'm curious about how much more the ice bath may help with reducing inflammation in the shoulder.? Your opinion would be greatly appreciated!
probably wouldnt help as much if it was pathological my man
How has it held up 4yrs later?
Dang! In the 30’s! The first day we had ours, I was so jacked to get in it so I ran the freezer for two days and then got in that afternoon! 😳😳😳. I made it about 20 seconds! My chest hurt so bad, I couldn’t take a breath and I thought my toes were gonna fall off! Did you go right to the 30’s or gradually decrease temp over time?
Same - I was doing cold showers for months...first time in the freezer at 39F I almost blacked out. I had to dunk one foot/arm at a time, get out, let the nerve burn wear off...do it again...let it wear off...then got to sitting fast and standing up...I had to bring it back up to 50F and do several minute sits before cranking it back down into the 30s. Body eventually adjusts.
hey Josh! How many Celsius do you have in the tub? =) Thanks!
Question: if you dont have one of these and only a bath tub, and one bag of ice should you use full cold water, medium cold, or warm then dump the ice? Like whats a good temp you should have it at if only a tub and 1 bag or ice? Balling on a budget....
Grayday Crossfit use the hottest water you can then put the ice in...
Coldest water possibly and as much ice as you can fit
Grayday Crossfit turn your water to the coldest it goes then add in the ice
Smooth dissolve to Josh in the tub #hayladies
😍💪
Great video. Is there going to be a channel separate for the barista stuff? Looking forward to more coffee content.
Revolt Fitness will be posting coffee content regularly
I don't have ice for cold bath
Hell yeah bridging the gap getting comfortable with being uncomfortable
Matt Liszewski all day
I just use my bath.
You caulk the whole inside of it or just the cracks?
Hunter Howard the corners where the plastic meets
can you review all the bikes/motorcycles/stuff in your garage or 'fitness factory' 'man cave'
Connor Mankouski haha definitely
Make sure there is good wiring. Otherwise, a cold bath can be hot for you.
💪💕
Grazi Nunes thanks for watching
@@JoshBridges Oh my God, I can not believe you answered me, I'm your fan, I wish you a lot of success, I see Cros fit games and I'm always in your crowd.
Is 38 degrees the temperature it should be at? Great video!
Jenny Mason usually like to get it down to 34
Josh Bridges you’re the best!! Swift recovery Josh
When’s the podcast coming?
Tom S in the works right now
Hey Josh, I just got the same freezer as you and just filled it with water. What number do you keep your freezer at on the dial on the side? Also, how long do you run your freezer daily? 2 hours? Thanks!
Josh and Cobra Kai saved CZcams.
