Want to kill your gains and impair physical recovery? Do ice baths.

Cold exposure kills muscle and strength gains and may worsen inflammation. It “improves” recovery by improving the mental and emotional state—mainly by activating the sympathetic nervous system. While it does help mental recovery, it does not help—indeed, it impairs—physical recovery. The improvement in mental state caused by ice baths tricks the body into feeling more recovered than it is, even while it harms the recovery of the body.
