Hi James, thank you for your info about milk and good fresh foods! I myself am not a milk person so, for my own personal nutritional goals, I try to find a way to get a certain amount of protein without having to eat too many calories or getting more sugar carbs than I want. I find protein powder wo...

I know this is an old post revival, but I wanted to talk about favorite powdered protein drinks and what you make with them. Some are just downright nasty tasting and I wouldn't consider any of them to be so delicious that I'd crave them but I've found one that I really like. My favorite is Elite Pr...

It's the art of taking pleasure in pointing out the fact that Google and Wikipedia will reveal a good definition.

Ahahahaha! Shame on me for being lazy and well, just, shame on me! Each time I catch myself I shall do 500 more meters.

It's also fun watching the response of the gym monkeys who follow the "real men row on ten" approach after the drag increases by 50% after they are cleaned. I am not normally vindictive, but the contemptuous responses I have had when trying to tactfully explain that these strong men could improve t...

Oh, the fur is not as bad as I made it out to be. I looked at it closely today. The club I work out at is actually very good about cleaning and they hire out the work to a group of physically and mentally challenged individuals. For this very reason, I doubt that the erg gets cleaned daily like othe...

What do you have? SVT? (supra-ventricular tachycardia). I had that but got radiofrequency ablation for it which I highly recommend. I still get rapid heartbeats, about 2-10 when they try to start) but they can't complete their cycle and throw me into a bad rhythm. Still, I wear a Polar monitor when ...

You should learn about drag factor and set the drag to an appropriate level (too high often gives back problems). Consider doing regular core exercises if these aren't already part of your weights rotines as these will help reduce back pain from longer rows. Stretch your quads so that youu can get ...

Do you experienced rowers think that this is due to too long of sessions for a beginner or could there be something about my form that is causing this soreness? Could be either or both. It certainly sounds like you did too much to start with. If you can video tape yourself and post it on U-Tube and...

Hi I am new to rowing and I absolutely have fallen in love with it! Finally I have found a piece of cardio equipment I look forward to getting on...bet you have heard that before! :lol: Anyway, while I watched a video on YouTube and one I found on Google, to get the proper technique, before I rowed ...
