If trying to build.or maintain muscle mass fasting is a waste of time. Your muscles need a near constant supply of protein to grow.
Cold therapy reduces muscle growth as well. You need blood flow and inflammation to grow muscle.
Cold tub is a great mental boost for many. Just wait 24 hours after lifting if also trying to grow.
