I've been following Buff Dudes since around 2015-2016 (I think) and I love that after all these years you guys still put out content that's informative, entertaining and motivational as hell
Buff Dudes are at that level where they could probably just phone it in and yet they still don’t. Everything they put out has that same level of knowledge, charm and humor as they did since day one. They’ve found a way to elevate their content without compromising their integrity. That’s what sets them apart. Thanks, Dudes.
Ive been doing this for about 3 months now. I live in Canada so a tub in the back yard works for me. I am impressed that you just dove right into it. I did 3 weeks of cold showers and worked up from 50F water down to 36F. It is warm out now now so it sits around 40-44F....still brutally cold. My morning routine consists of jumping in my hot tub for 15mins then 3 mins in the cold tub. I am 54 and just started lifting again thanks to this. It destroys inflammation in my joints letting me lift pain free. You guys are very inspirational and I love the way you present fitness. Keep up the great work and thank you for the push I need sometimes.
That’s so great! I’m only 28 and have some arthritis in my knees. I have been plunging for about a month now. How often do you do it? I’ve been doing it about 1-2 times per week.
My favorite part about this video was that it wasn't just a wealthy guy showing off their 5k dollar cold plunge. It was cool seeing you going into the river and really challenging yourself
agreed! not someone doing a cold plunge when it is 80 out. It's cold really cold outside and obviously it's worse in the water. Getting ready to start in a few days myself.LETS GO!!!!
Absolutely thrilling and exhilarating to watch. The locations are breathtaking as well! I am so impressed with your resolve, B! And so proud! Love you guys! xo
Been here since day one 11 years ago this is in my top 3 vids you guys made . After 5 years out the gym only got back into it this week and this is motivation I needed Stay BUFF.
That dog is awesome! Center of the shot the whole time! Love it! Run to the fear and challenge yourself to overcome it. My first cold plunge in Lake Coeur d'Alene was a challenge. Today (1/10) our group did 4 minutes in 39 degree water at 6:30 A:M. It's a great way to start the day and it definitely helps with DOMS.
My health journey started with you guys at the end of 2020 while living in Arizona. Now, I’m in the best shape of my life thanks in large part to your content! And I now live here in central/southern Oregon. That waterfall is one of my favorite to visit! Thanks for keeping up the great content!
Great video! Holy cow, tough as nails! Also damn you found some very beautiful scenery for your plunges!! As someone in an uglier state I sometimes forget we have places like that hah.
One of the first channels that got me started in lifting and taught me proper form. Glad to see they're still pushing out quality content. That said, 37F is hardcore AF. Health benefits occur 50F-59F for a minimum of 11 minutes per week. That's all that's needed. Caveat to anyone watching: don't do a lake plunge unless you have people watching you, because you can seize up and drown if you have a bad reaction or your muscles freeze up. Also if you have any un/diagnosed heart conditions you can and will die from cold shock in 30-40f. One lady died from 50F for 3 minutes. Be careful is all. I ice plunge in my ice pod every day. I'm neurotic AF, and it helps calm my mind SO much. I notice a profound increase in the amount of control I have over my crazy brain. Stress does not hit as hard. And that's just at 50F. Can't wait to experience the 40s and 30s! Stay buff!
This video was a work of art and inspirational. I've been taking cold showers for almost 8 years and I'm at the point where a hot shower just doesn't feel right. Cold plunges in nature & ice baths are still tough for me... This video makes me want to run down to the nearest drainage pond and jump in (LOL). Cheers Buff Bros...
I really enjoyed this one. Cold water work is tough but it's also fascinating as hell. When you get into the right mindset then it becomes easier. It was the same for my surfing days when we'd wake up for early winter surfs. Having friends with you can make it easier but soon you won't even need them because your mind gets so conditioned.
Great work! I’m a 4-5 times/week cold plunger myself and absolutely love watching you do this too! I’m also jealous of those fantastic locations too. Not sure if it’s been mentioned or not, but if you wear even a thin pair of neoprene booties, it does wonders on your time in the water. Always love your videos, keep up the great work!
I was feeling cold all the time(like my grandma did) so I started shoveling snow/ brushing off the car in my underwear at 5 in the morning up here in Alberta, during the peak of our winter. It was -30c the first morning I did this but it worked. I reasonable conquered the cold.
2:00 into this video and I’ve got to say, great job on the editing and producing of this video. The processing look and vibe is phenomenal. Going back to the vid now.
Wow, this video is something else. Professional production!!! I got so much motivation to do anything in general that I can't express.. THANKS BUFF DUDES!!!!
Cold 🥶 water therapy changed my life too! I never knew I had Raynaud's syndrome until I started cold plunging. If you have it, this will make it way worse!!! It has made my life very challenging in the Midwest winters. So be safe everyone and merry Christmas 🎁🎄
I've been doing cold water immersion for years. When I started doing it I noticed how well my body would recover from work. I never even bothered to look it up to see if it was actually beneficial or not because I enjoyed the way I felt after. People used to look at me like I was crazy while I would chip away at the ice to make a hole all while being shirtless in swimming trunks. Seems like more and more people are coming around to the idea of cold immersion. Shout out to my fellow polar plungers in the Adirondacks.
My friends and I use to go to a river that flowed through a cave and I always slept well those days after the cold water. It was amazing, Go buff dudes, buff girl and buff dog in the background.
Truly inspiring, great video, montage and of course pictures. I looking for a Wim Hof camp in Poland after watching your video! You’re the beast, keep it up! Cheers!
I started cold plunging in early October and by beginning of December, with the winter months fully going, I got my indoor circular tub down to 4C (40F). I stay in there for between 5-8 minutes 6-7 times a week, fully submersed up to my chin (Getting your shoulders covered is key to acclimating to the cold). Unfortunately, I quit over Christmas break as I was going away. After late nights, early mornings and eating crap food, my immune system broke down and I'm currently sick. When I recover, I will be filling my pool back up and getting back into it!
You should've looked up "Wim Hof" to get a better understanding/method to cold immersion. I did his level 1 in Poland years ago. Ever since then, all I do I take cold showers and cold plunges, even in winter. Also, one benefit to doing this is you tend to not get as sick as often
Inspirational video, I really like the quality of the picture from the FX3 (I assume it's the FX3), as a fan from Europe I appreciate that you showed the water temperature in F°/C°. Happy Holidays!
DOMS kicks my ass the older I become. You are awesome for doing this. I always wondered about this thing. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.💪🏻
Plunge is better experience than showers for sure. You went pretty hard (temperature-wise) for your first few times. If you can start at 55 degrees and extend your time to 10 to 15 minutes, then go colder by 5 degrees and less time. So maybe 50 at 5 minutes then work back up to 10 minutes. Then drop the temps again by 5 more degrees. This can be stretched out over. Month or more depending on your acclimation. Also, I suggest learning about Tummo breathing techniques.
If you're interested in cold water exposure and more adventurous challenges, Ross Edgley has two books about resilience and how cold water exposure as well as many other factors have benefited his training and events! He also has a UA-cam channel with some interesting videos on it. Stay Buff!!!
Seeing those temperatures reminds me of high school swim team. We didn't have an indoor, heated pool back then so practice was in an outdoor pool, at night, during the winter. It was mostly when the wind was really bad they let us go 2 cities over too another school's indoor pool but all that did was keep the wind off of us and the only places you felt the heat was right next to the vents. Had to keep moving if you wanted to stay warm.
Good job. I would try this in the future. I've been doing cold showers for about 2 years, and even that I've noticed being more awake during the day, and able to stand cold temperatures better. Very invigorating in the morning.
just be careful. after 50 years of age, teperature-change induced cardiac arrest (not heart attack, arrest) risk soars insanely high, regardless of your fitness level.
I remeber I had a nasty break up about 10 years ago and some friend suggested randomly that we go to the beach for a swim. Well my beach is on the North sea so it was freezing but I went in and splashed about for a bit, was in their a while and came out feeling great. I started again with the cold shower during lockdown but stopped them somewhat lately for gym reasons. I think I'll go back to sea swims and cold showers now.
I just ran outside for 1/4 mile in 5 deg F. In my skivvies. Cheers Love me ice showers. around 48 deg. They are definitely BF reducing or size reducing. Hormone boosting. I feel good all day. I do two of them a day. Or 3. Then hot then cold again.
Hey man I came across your videos a while ago, and I noticed that you live in my area, super awesome! hopefully I get to meet ya. Maybe ask you for some tips. I'm on my way to lose weight, but I kinda hit a wall. IV lost 25-30lbs in 3-4 months and can't seem to go down from there

what do you mean by that lol. this is their job. they are certainly not set for life financially if thats what you're implying

Do you guys know where he is in this video? Gorgeous area
im referring to the beginning part, first few days
Absolutely thrilling and exhilarating to watch. The locations are breathtaking as well! I am so impressed with your resolve, B! And so proud! Love you guys! xo
Love the way this video was shot and edited. Great job guys.
The last few videos have been bangers. But this one was absolutely awesome. Inspirational as hell!
That was amazing. Loved seeing Hudson get involved. One of your best videos by far.
The quality of this video is truly outstanding.
Thank you for the motivation and for sharing the experience.
Stay Buff!
Seriously, they've really upped their game with the video quality.
Wow, great job pushing through, and I'm very glad to see Hudson in the end joining you for the final plunge. Bros sticking together.
Been here since day one 11 years ago this is in my top 3 vids you guys made . After 5 years out the gym only got back into it this week and this is motivation I needed Stay BUFF.
I feel reinvigorated and healthier just watching you. Great job.

For all the experiments that these guys are willing to do, they should have so many more followers. It’s amazing to watch and gives great ideas
11:13 omg this location is so mesmerizing 😍
Buffdudes production value, color grading, and cinematography is leveling up for 2024!
Let’s go!
Good for you brother! Way to get after it. Still around and still trying new things to make life better.
Great video! Holy cow, tough as nails!
Also damn you found some very beautiful scenery for your plunges!! As someone in an uglier state I sometimes forget we have places like that hah.

The video editing definitely has gotten more buff 💪. Great topic!
Love the format "Better Understanding"
Then taking and testing "methods" of exercises both physical and mental.
You are taking it to the next level with content, video quality and briliant ideas! Keep it up!

The cinematography was off-the charts. Great job.
the pacing on this video is really great, was very fun to watch!
Wow that was one of the best buff dudes videos I’ve ever seen man I love you guys. Been watching for 10+ years now. You guys are legends
The production gets better every video. Awesome to see
honestly these videos are really good. both or your guys videos I mean. awesome
I was feeling cold all the time(like my grandma did) so I started shoveling snow/ brushing off the car in my underwear at 5 in the morning up here in Alberta, during the peak of our winter. It was -30c the first morning I did this but it worked. I reasonable conquered the cold.
Dude went from beginner to Wim Hoff in 7 days, congrats dude!!!!!

This is always the case but this video in particular is so inspiring. Thanks and have a Merry Christmas!

I love this. The Oregon coast is wild. I make sure to jump into the ocean every time I visit
Truly inspiring, great video, montage and of course pictures.
I looking for a Wim Hof camp in Poland after watching your video!
You’re the beast, keep it up!
Cheers!
Man, the quality of the video is insane, good job!
That was awesome 🤙🏼
Great video, Brandon! I totally want to try that. Great meeting you at REI! Highlight o my week. Merry Christmas!
That was some awesome scenery being shown. Thanks for the video.
Video 16 of reminding you guys of how much of an inspiration you are to us all. Love love
the quality of this video is insane. I got to give this a try! hell yeah!
This is a way to go. I've started to practice cold exposure two years a go and like it very much.

landscape shots are amazing. may you share the location you went to ?
Great video. Real inspiration. Fantastic job guys. Thank You for sharing
You need to suffer to appreciate. Nice conclusion. Love the scenery in the woods with the waterfalls.
The whole video I was wondering, “where’s Hudson at?!?!” This ish is right up his alley 😂😂😂
im also always up for new fun experiences with buff dudes
Ive been subscribed for a very long time. Still love your videos, so much fun, educational and entertaining 😊
Fantastic video! Loved the cinematography and theme
This was cool. Merry Christmas Buff Dudes!
Awesome video! That were some truly Exhilarating views. Now I am getting that itch to try this too.
Beautiful video! Well done!
Wow, the production value on this video was great.
You guys, the cinematography and color grading is straight 🔥 you guys are killing it!

Never had expiriance in cold plunge..Easy 2 -5 minutes.. coldest one was -16C and water seemed to be great! Doing this secind season now. Good luck!

Fucking chills when Hudson showed up

Really enjoyed this video
This was a nice video. Beautiful scenery and great concept! Stay buff dudes
One my favorite videos to date.
Your video definitely maturing - really well done
You guys are a bunch of ballers. So inspirational. Thanks for making great content.
Great video! You need a lot of willpower and guts to do this kind of thing! Well done!
Best video!! On week 2 daily plunges. Hooked…..
Brave man. Well done video. Your adrenalized state at the end is palpable.
I just ran outside for 1/4 mile in 5 deg F. In my skivvies. Cheers
Love me ice showers. around 48 deg. They are definitely BF reducing or size reducing. Hormone boosting. I feel good all day. I do two of them a day. Or 3.
