Ice bath in my Freezer! How to set up and use a freezer for ice baths.

I have converted a 570L freezer into an ice bath.

I use the Wim Hof Method of breathing and bathing in ice for the myriad of health benefits. It activates all sorts of brain chemicals that make me feel euphoric and happy.

Any questions about my set up let me know in the comments!

Dude thanks so much for posting this. I now have one cause of this video. I have herniations in 3c-7c and have been using ice baths for everything. Found everything and did it for $120 its changed everything. So awesome! Freeze on!

Any chance you could let me know what freezer this is? Or even a link for where to buy one?! Love that you didn’t have to do anything special to it, and that you simply filled it up with water and let it freeze, I’m hoping to get one similar to this for the summer!

The first time I did this I began uncontrollably laughing.

Why at 0 degrees and not 33 or so as others are doing it? Just getting into it. Thanks.

Nice vid mate, how is your set up going? Have you made any changes to it? I’ve been in Switzerland for nearly 3 years now and I met another Aussie living here who did 2 weeks with Wim and he runs breath work ice bath sessions here. I’m hooked on it! Coming back to WA soon and a freezer is on the top of the list of things to buy. I just gotta get round the mrs hahaha.

Hi, great vid, mate. I love the one last thing at the end.
I’d like to add to and question something you say at 2:25 “partially exhaling”. I strongly disagree with and would advise against this. This is also not what Wim Hoff teaches, at least as I understand it. He teaches “fully in” and “let go”, i.e. on the exhale you just fully relax your ribs, diaphragm and upper chest to exhale most* of the air without forcefully expelling or trying to completely empty. Inhale is active, exhale is passive. This allows for full air exchange, maximum O2 absorption and CO2 expulsion (whilst conserving energy) and therefore increased alkalinity and ability to breath hold for longer and induce more controlled hypoxia during this phase. I don’t know the science but have heard of one case of induced seizure whilst performing the “partial exhale” method, however, I don’t think that there is proof that it was caused by this breathing. Any scientists out there with more knowledge, please explain. *in a neutral relaxed position there is still some air in the lungs. You are not forcefully expelling via rip and abdominal contraction.

Hello handsome....I am wondering if you have ever considered a johnson controls thermostat, that will turn on and off the freezer to whatever temp you want...say 33 F, or is it preferable to have actual ice chunks? Thanks...
P.S.. I tried that wimhof or w/e and I passed

Any update on the set up? Are you still happy with it?
Do you still change the water every month?

[MrJohansson]

[MrMentxl]

Hey man where’d you get the freezer for so cheap? I can find any 500L ones for under $800

I thought you were supposed to fully exhale every breath...shit
