Don’t do within 4-8hrs post weight training (again, say the data). Before is fine.

We can't find evidence that holds up here. Proponents are reasoning from mechanism or analogy rather than direct human data, and the most credible skeptics raise objections we can't dismiss.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
Don’t do it in the 6-8 hours after resistance training however.
@0rf Reduces hypertrophy and strength gains. Give yourself at least six hours afterward and probably waiting till the next day would be better.
Do not do it after resistance training (it can prevent adaptations you want).
Cold immersion post weights can disrupt progress.
Yes, avoid deliberate cold in the 6hrs after resistance training or skip it entirely (!)
Agree post resistance training is not a good time for cold plunge.
there is some evidence that for whatever reason strength training when you do cold exposure like immediately after strength training if you do it within its let's say before like sometimes with it sometime within an hour before or for sorry absolutely after strength training it seems to blunt some of the hypertrophy effects
