J.J. Watt’s latest attempt to up his game involved a frozen lake.

The newest addition to the Arizona Cardinals posted some Instagram photos of him and the crew doing some “post-workout recovery” in a frozen lake! (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

They literally cut through the ice and then soaked in it.

I hate to sound pessimistic here, but there’s zero shot this was necessary. This was 100% done for Instagram.

You mean to tell me that J.J. Watt, who has earned outrageous amounts of money in the NFL, can’t afford an ice machine for a bath?

I find that really hard to believe. I find it damn near impossible to believe.

Instead of doing what most athletes do, which is just take a normal ice bath, he had to go cut a hole in a frozen lake.

If you think this was done for any reason other than to get some Instagram likes, then you’re kidding yourself.

He can recover from a workout however he’d like, but let’s not pretend like this wasn’t anything other than an unnecessary stunt. None of us are that dumb.
