I'v just been to the Annual Metres Honour Board and it states that it records the metres of all ranking rowers.

ljwagner<br /><br />You are pretty spot on, I'v done a lot of weights in my time and typically my legs have not been trained as hard as my upper body. <br /><br />As for the leg/chest press ratio it is difficult to say as I'v never been a strong bencher, my shoulders and triceps make up a lot of my ...

Training

I'm trying to improve my technique. My current stroke rate is 26 (drag 125) but I've read on this forum that it should be more like 20.
