I think my statement was not specific enough, and you're right. My intention was to say that there's no proven mental or long term health benefits as some people try to claim. However, ice baths can reduce acute inflammation, which can be great pain relief for in-season athletes, who put their body through hell. For that same reason, those looking to build muscle should avoid doing it regularly because it can potentially stymy muscle growth, which relies upon some inflammation.

for the record, not good for athletes to reduce pain, tends to cause further damage
and yea it can reduce inflammation...but so can advil and it blunts true recovery.

The answer to this seems to be cold plunge in the AM and then work out in the evening, giving your stressed muscles a full 12 hours to repair / grow on their own before cold is put into the equation.
There's no way that my cold adaptation to my environs and my much less painful body is placebo at this point.
