J.J. Watt Took an Ice Bath Through a Hole in a Frozen Lake

J.J. Watt may be headed to the blistering heat of Arizona pretty soon, but he’s still spending his offseason training on the Frozen Tundra of Wisconsin.

Watt bought a cabin in “the middle of nowhere” (Summit, Wisc.) in 2015. He called it “minimalistic” but in reality it’s 4,500 square feet and has an elevator. Watt’s workout regimen belies the cushy accommodations, though. His training sounds like a Rocky montage.

On Thursday, he wanted to cap off his workout with an ice bath, but not just any ice bath. Watt wanted to dunk his 290-pound frame into a frozen lake.
