I do keto showers where I use at least 120 grams of water, but no soap.27

It's safe but I think you sweat for 15 minutes after a workout, so you might want to cool off first, if you can.5

And what was his BMR while he was dead? Is it still a cheat day if he eats a whole pizza while looking at the week view? Does raising the dead take a lot of protein?6 -

Well this is supposed to be a serious question out of curiosity which I guess turned out to be an epic joke! Have a fun day pals...keep smiling and hit the laugh track!21

I did hear one particularly unpleasant story about a post game shower during a rugby tour which involved a soap-on-a-rope..... :noway:
But unless you are sharing your shower with several boisterous rugby players you should be ok.6 -
Not only is it safe, it is a highly recommended part of recovery.4

Say goodbye to all your gains. Optimal is 34 minutes, 17.457 seconds. Now you have to start all over again.

Unless he completed the whole shower while standing on his left leg and humming any Miley Cyrus song.4 -

If you're concerned about getting cramp while in the shower after a workout, have a glass of water before you get into the shower.
But you'd better believe that during the last quarter of a long bicycle ride, and especially if the bicycle ride is cold and/or wet, I'm thinking of how wonderful it will be to get into a lovely, hot shower.

To be fair, there is some truth in the technical scuba diving world - if you've done a deco dive not only should you do the minimum of exercise but also keep your shower cool so as to not interfere with the body's off gassing... not sure that's what the average person would be meaning though... 😂1

Yes but is this penguin doing keto or IF ?3 -
My theory is some guy forgot/didn't have time to shower, and was further ridiculed. In an effort to deflect, he made up some crap about hurting gains. Thus, a rumor is born.
My head itches as the sweat dries if I don't shower. Sometimes I come home and shower at home instead of at the gym though. They have a 90 minute limit for childcare, and sometimes I'd rather finish my workout and shower at home instead of showing peacefully at the gym.2 -
Goodness for years I've been jumping in the shower straight after my workout....so far no ill has come to me yet2
