Is a cold shower harmful for muscle growth?

Certainly, that’s correct. Cold showers have benefits such as improving blood circulation, aiding in depression recovery, and promoting healthy skin and hair, among others. (However, it’s not suitable for everyone, especially those with certain illnesses, who should avoid cold showers.)

I think showering with ice water for 10 minutes after exercise will reduce muscle pain, but it will also prevent muscle growth and decrease your physical strength.

Scientists have found that taking a cold shower after strength training interferes with muscle adaptation, that is, the muscles getting used to the load. The study was published in The Journal of Physiology.
