Cold plunges are fine. The thing you actually need is silence.
We have monetized recovery into an industry of cold tubs, infrared blankets, and red light panels. The actual most powerful intervention is free, and almost nobody does it.

The free reset button in your nose nobody taught you how to press.
Your breath is the only autonomic function you can take manual control of, and the way you breathe in the next sixty seconds will change your heart rate, your mood, and your blood chemistry. Almost nobody is using this on purpose.

The deload week is the most underused training tool in adult life.
Strength comes from training. Adaptation comes from the period after training. Skip the recovery and you have donated all the work to your soreness with nothing to show for it.

Your muscles do not grow in the gym. They grow on the couch you feel guilty sitting on.
The workout is the stimulus. The rest is the response. Skip the second part and you are just collecting injuries and fatigue.
