Fricking lucky to have an ice bath at your gym. But do not, I repeat, DO NOT take an ice bath after your workout. Latic acid gets built up in your muscles, (which is good) when training and an ice bath gets rid of inflammation. Basically working out damages your muscles so they build back stronger but an ice bath gets rid of the damage so only take on 6 hours after working out. So as Raj said, do an ice bath, workout then hit sauna

Thanks for the high iq response but this is really confusing cuz i have seen so many influencers and other people talking about how cold showers help muscles grow. so cold showers are more useful than cold baths or what?
let me also clarify that the "cold bath" im talking about is a literally a huge tub with cold ass water lol.

Because some influencers just make crap up, but guys who actually look at the science like Andrew Hueberman know that it's not smart to take an ice bath or cold shower after working out. But possibly what some of those guys are talking about, is that cold showers and baths boost energy and mood so doing them can give you more energy thus leading to harder training in the gym, which in turn builds more muscle. But again just don't do cold shower or bath after a workout, wait like 6 hours
