Just to give a little bit of background, I row for a junior team and this is my third year. Our team does most of our training on the water instead of on the erg. Recently we've been erging more because we just bought 10 "new" ergs (model c's). The other day I got the bright idea that my double's p...

You're only in grade 9, you've got three more years of rowing and probably about 4 more years of growing. I'm 18 now and I've grown about 4" since I was 14. Just keep doing your best and you'll get better.

Sure. May cars have a name and so does my erg. Its part of the bonding process. Little Honda Civic - Green Machine Big Dodge van camer - Sweetie Pie Erg - Music Machine cause my erging reward is spacing out to loud music while I do it. grams I name stuff too. Trucks - Chet and Tex Guitars - Tina an...

Get those hands out quicker! If you do that then your feet won't come up as much either. More leg compression would be good as well. Try erging with a coach sometime it really helps me.

Well, like everyone else has pretty much told you, you did a very good job!

JL Racing makes some pretty fine rowing shorts that have a double reinforced butt.

We also use "butt pads" sometimes, made out of VERY thick foam (like nearly an inch I think, it works great!).

Cool story man!

Well you are a lwt if you compete against men. I'm about your size and height (5'11", 165lbs, size 12) and I don't feel fat at all, in fact I'm about 18% body fat and I think for women healthy body fat is between 15 and 20... could be 25 I'm not sure.
