Rowing isn't a good way of strengthening muscles.
You will eventually get stronger, but not bigger. Weight training is the only sure fire way of getting stronger and bigger, and protein is absolutely essential along with all of the other nutrient macros of a good varied diet.

In general, eating more protein is a good thing, modern diets often are low in protein.

If you are very untrained you can gain mass, runners and cyclist also can build upperbody mass, but indeed not in the way weights can do. Although really gaining lean mass is not easy.

I love protein shakes (whey powder and milk). Downside of my favorite brand is 9g. sugar per serving.
