Hey Nick,<br />Welcome and glad you enjoy your C2!!<br /><br /><br />Tonight<br />rowed for about 3.5 miles, ran 34min at 177 avg bpm, not satisfied with performance today. <br /><br /><br />(I guess I had better have a goal since Mike C. is here. Truthfully, I do different workouts to improve my VO...

Hi Francois,<br /><br />I like your speedo avatar. Thanks for your support and what helped me was your suggestion of lowering my drag factor. As for swimming being a factor in my improvement, I would say that swimming helped in lung capacity. Does that make any sense? I have to use oxygen efficientl...

Yesterday night,<br /><br />just had to share this. <br /><br />30min erg row and improved my mileage by 400 or so meters.<br />then later did a 38 minute run where I trained my heartrate avg. 173 bpm. After, did my weights. <br /><br />Yahoo!!!

Yoda,<br /><br />Forgot to tell you about a beautiful piece of Universal mahine built for a club owner who kept it as an art piece show case. I could not take my eyes off it. Unbelievable !

One piece of equipment to develop strength and power can be the Universal machine which still exists in some community colleges for only a nominal admissiions fee of $26 per semester. There are many hours from early am to at night. The huge advantage also is that you would have a qualified PE teache...

Enough already.<br />I'm here to learn about squats and how to do them properly.<br /><br />Porkchop,<br /><br />When you've time, how does one do a deep squat compared to a parallel squat with possible light weights? And if one isn't using weights, then can the deep squat provide a better exercise?...

Ladies,<br /><br />I'm sorry for creating a bit of a stir in another section of the forum. Because I have strong values and beliefs, I often state them openly. I'm not perfect but care too much about people. Many of you on the forum have become real human beings, not only words on the computer scree...

Dear Coach Caviston,<br /><br />You're a well known man on this forum so I'll respect you on your stance on athletic training but some of the points you make about people and especially those who log in "What training have you done lately" seems negative and non supportive of people who genuinely lo...

Shar,<br />One more thing, there are stretching exercises which can be done on each individual fingers and wrists. You can even roll your wrists in a circle to develop full range of motion.

Yoda,<br /><br />Happy to hear you're feeling better. I plan to think of you today because the power of love and compassion has a dramatic effect on healing physical problems. <br /><br />Wee, little me is pooped from yesterday's conversation. I'll join you later. Diesel, on the otherhand, is like a...

Thanks Diesel! Now, I love reading about people. One can actually see attributes of a person from their workouts. <br /><br />Yoda,<br /> So sorry I brought up the topic of creatine and supplements. I really feel for you, big guy. Tis not Diesel's fault. You can get mad at me instead, okay? <br /><b...
