No need for weight lifting! A high power strapless stroke carried over a HM does the trick just fine. If you keep up this sort of rowing for several months, leg muscles bulge out in places that, previously, were not even places!<br><br>ranger<!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><br>Hi Ranger;<br><br>I took this bit of advice from you a few months ago and was quite surprised at how quickly the leg muscles develop like you say. While I have yet to tackle a HM and would definitely not define my stroke as one of "high power", the visible results have been impressive, even with my oft-interrupted training schedule. I am anticipating some good gains over the next 5 to 6 months as I should be able to get into a fairly regular routine.<br><br>Thanks!<br><br>
