Where is Henry when we need him

Yeah. What I got from what you’ve said for years is don’t be afraid of doing a hard piece. In fact, when we sat down next to each other those years ago, you said something like “don’t sweat it, it’s just a row”

The older I get, the more I agree with Jim:) When I started my meager erging, I was riding cross country mountain biking hard. Pushing hills as hard as I could. Not knowing anything else. It enabled me to go hard on the erg and most of my progress was almost immediate. I then got caught up in all th...

As a casual observer, I find it odd at how angry Caviston is and has been for years. What put such a burr in his bonnet? Did someone say back in the day offend his lordship?

By continuing to row. Building capacity. Building power. At 15 it’s all in front of you. Do you row OTW?

I do

Geez Ranger, there are a whole ton of amazing women in the sport of rowing that could probably kick your ass up and down the block. What’s with the sexist bull shit? I'm amazed by how excellent some of the women rowers are. Absolutely outstanding, and I'm more than happy to be beaten by them, as it...

Many follow Pete Marston’s plans that were created to be done during his lunch hour. He also seemed to get pretty fit on them

Alison, it seems like between the 3 of us there is an answer. But you have to decide what your goal is for this block of training. Is it getting bigger thighs and butt? Getting stronger from a pure strength standpoint? Or rowing faster? Each of these has different responses from a training standpoin...

Sorry, I haven’t posted in awhile!

And I might add that the terms “bulking and cutting” are body building terms. Not strength training terms. I would think, maybe wrongly, that strength is more your concern. And that integrates different protocols than body building

You might look up Easy Strength or Even Easier Strength by Dan John. It is a basic plan that is designed to fit into other rigorous training modalities. The essence is that you do not want to be at cross purposes with your trainings. One (strength) should support the other (rowing fast). Will Ruth a...

I’m not sure it matters on the erg. The recovery is not the same thing as OTW - or doesn’t need to be. Sequence in a boat is there to get to swing amongst more than one rower, and to enable the boat to run. The only thing that matters on erg is a strong/ long/ powerful drive

You’ve done fairly well, Jim
