Okay I think I'll try that. I need to shed some excess muscle mass anyways. As for the shoulder press and some of those exercises they are necessary evils for the military. It is not uncommon to perform a 100's of reps of various overhead presses (though not with iron weights) and or pushups type ex...

Okay well, how about this. This is essentially what I'm considering reducing my weightlifting program to, that way I might have more energy and focus for cardiovascular fitness: Weights A Bench press Incline DB Press overhead press squats leg press tricep extensions Weights B Bent row deadlift pullu...

I only refer to it as cardio because I also have to run and ruck march, so collectively cardio makes sense. I'm referring to it in a general sense, because I generally have no cardiovascular fitness as of right now. Yes I enjoy rowing more than anything in the entire world. Unfortunately rowing itse...

I'm posting here because I feel that as rowers we tend to know alot about several types of training. I rowed for several years, however for the past few years I have gotten into bodybuilding. Unfortunately Bodybuilding is kind of useless for the military and for cardio past a certain point. I have c...

Lately I've been doing Tabata Protocol 3 days during the week and on weekends I'll do some type of steady state row on slides. Today I rowed 1hr. 15min. on slides to practice technique while tired. My plan is 3 tabata's and one steady state every week for 4 weeks, then most likely I'll move onto pet...

I was considering a Maas because of how much fun they are to row, but I would like something a bit more on the flatwater side. When I was really light I rowed a Maas Flyweight out in the Puget ...

Thanks for your thorough response! I've done some research on those areas you suggested and most of them seem to be fairly promising. I'll have to look into the Haiwee Reservoir some more and see if what exactly they've banned in regards to watercraft. I'm hoping Lake Isabella is doable because it i...

So, would you say its completely unrowable? I was hoping maybe they had some areas sectioned off for non-motorized boats (i.e. kayaks, canoeing, etc..) If lake Isabella isn't an option, what else is there out there? I've been through the area several times and I know not to expect any sort of oasis ...

I'm going to be moving out to an area called Inyokern Valley in California. I've been living in Hawaii for a while and I'm excited to get back to the mainland and start rowing again after a few years out of the boat. The problem is that I've checked out the area online and there doesn't seem to be a...
