Idk I'll ask my wife in about a year that's what she does.
rowing hits just about everything but your pecs. look up some pictures of varsity rowers and that should give you the idea
yeah no
people on the rowing team strength train you mong.
Minimally
wrong
very wrong.
not their pecs though
NTA but when I first started out rowing I developed these massive fricking traps, even before lifting. I've never actually been able to have such big traps again since not rowing anymore.
You know, rowing is crazy
> calves
> quads
> glutes
> core (back and front)
> whole lats
> bicepts
> shoulders
BUT unless you get some kind of turbo difficulty mode version its mainly a cardio exercise because its so easy to pull the stupid frickin cord back
What I'm saying is: rowing machines as op pictures would be amazingly great if they were more difficult, but as they are they suck ass
Like, seriously: attach a standard pinned weight stack up to 200lbs to that bad boy and now were cookin
so just look up pics of ppl from first year of college/high school before the roids blow them up.
honestly it just looks like they do lots of cardio, doesn't seem like a good activity for aesthetics
depends if you can increase resistance on your rowing machine
You’ll be lean and shredded
That's kinda what I'm going for
You'll look like a dyel.
>rowing machine
If you want a good back and lats do pull ups and dumbbell rows. Rowing machine is just cardio.
>do nothing but the rowing machine
With hemorrhoids.
That's fine, I have hemorrhoids anyway
man how the FRICK do I fix my haemorrhoids I am too embarassed to go to the doctor there must be a way to fix them at home I want to make my gf eat my ass
bro just go to the doctor nothing to be embarrassed about even better if shes a female
I promise your doctor has seen worse
just go to the ass doctor that's what they're for
how bad are they? I've had one sticking out the past couple weeks and it's shrunk down significantly after eating more fiber, veggies, drinking a frick ton of water, and using preparation H
dyel but athletic by normie standards. I would suggest also doing a calisthenic routine to build muscle mass.
^this for men. Rowing machines are amazing training for rowing. They suck for everything else, unless you refuse to lift weights, in which case there would be some benefit to rowing.
most female rowers are hideous goblins, there is the occasional Amazon beauty but majority are grim, pic related, these are typical college girl rowers (they're gross)
same guy, to add to my previous post, your best physique is going to be achieved by lifting weights intensely, then doing uphill treadmill walking at a 120-135 bpm heart rate
I got so good at rowing, my resting pulse was a 38, I won a national championship in high school, then medaled at a national championship in college
had a six pack, but skinny as frick and DYEL doing this, now people think I'm in the military or do cross fit after lifting for a few years
take your pick
If i could see the full bodies of the girls in the back 3 rows my choice would probably be different. I want the tallest and curviest white girl, face just has to be decent.
total goblin army here, would say 90% are not even doable drunk, which is crazy because they're college girls and at the peak of their "beauty"
even the coxswains are pretty grim, perhaps the girls on either end might be OK? but overall yikes
built arms on women don't look good, look at the girl on bottom left who seems like she's new or doesn't practice much.
100 percent better looking than everyone else.
No homo, but you can see at one glance every dick is cut
LOOOOOOOOOOL LOOK AT THESE TINY WHITE PECKERS BRUHHHHHHH I WOULD KILL MYSELF
no wonder they women want us mang!!!!!!!
You'll be able to hop in a row boat, quickly cross a river, them get off on the opposite bank and run for miles. If you see that skill set coming in handy then you're in luck.
Just make sure you’re eating at a surplus
And don’t set the machine to 10 you moron
>And don’t set the machine to 10 you moron
Why not? What should I set it to?
For most people it's in the 2-4 range. If it's a C2 you can go into options and have it display drag factor. Height and strength will okay a role in this but general guidelines are steady state at 85-95, UT1 at 95-105, 5k effort 105-115, 2k/all out 115-130. The idea is to have a quick and snappy stroke and then a slow and controlled return. Adjusting the drag factor allows you to keep the drive fast over different stroke rates. If you were keeping your drive fast for your steady state at a 130 drag factor your splits would be way too low.
What does the terminology steady state and UT1 mean?
How fast should my splits be? My 5k is 18 -19 min, so slightly below 2 min power 500m. I've always set the resistance to 10, because it feels the closest to how I learned to row, with heavy wooden oars.
Steady state is going to be the bulk of your time spent rowing and refers to long steady efforts in the 45-90 minute range. You should do this at 16-19 strokes per minute and at an intensity that you can speak a sentence without losing your breath, but that maintaining a whole conversation would be difficult. This is called the UT2 training zone. UT1 is a little bit more intense, usually about half the length of UT2 pieces. It should be done at an intensity where you can only say a few words before losing your breath, but not so fast they you feel lactic muscle burn, and is usually done in the 19-22 spm range. The upper limit of UT1 is happening when your body is clearing lactic acid at the rate that it is accumulating.
If you're pulling a sub 19 5k on a Concept 2 you're already doing really well. Adjusting your drag factor to closer to what I mentioned before will help you keep proper form and technically transfer better to on the water rowing. At least that's the theory.
If my UT1 limit is close to 32 -34 one, and my UT2 limit is around 28 ish, is that an indication that I have poor technique? I'm 1,85 tall, if that matters
You can listen to this homosexual with all of his numbers and gay shit or you can be like me and row on max resistance and go hard as frick. I row for 45 minutes twice a week and rack in about 20,000m.
This is exactly what I train for. After I row I run three miles and bike another two.

>this Black person is trying to egolift fricking cardio
"teehee i'm gonna put as much strain as possible on my body like my heckin' indestructible chinese cartoon superhero"
holy shit stop watching anime you mentally ill frick
lots of people are injuring themselves on rowing because they're following your dumbass mentality
>bike another two
miles? that must take all of about 5 mins
6'1", 178 lb, 1.25 years of rowing, 6:58 2k. Most people will think you look good and people on IST won't. Simple as.
>Most people will think you look good and people on IST won't.
You look good. Who cares what bunch of autists on Finnish horse breeding forum think.
Oh yeah that wasn't self deprecating. My point was that if you interact with literally any normal human beings you'll get a lot of positive reinforcement. Thanks for looking out and the compliment.
How's the garden going?
ive been doing rowing machine for 30 mins 6 days a week for 4 months, only that and ive lost mad weight and made some arm, legs, abs and back gains. ive reached lvl 8/10 of the machine with a pace of 35 strokes per minute. im planning on starting lifting after i reach lvl 10 tho. insane cardio gains, resting heart rate has gone down like 25-30 bpm less (ex smoker and 100% sedentary). i would post the before and after but i dont have time to edit the pics.
Thin but decent I guess assuming you're actually lean. Anyway the straps on the rowing machine at my gym are ass and my feet are basically loose 200 meters in. Any way to solve this?
>How will I turn out
Gay
you'll be lean and get some sickass abs if you keep your bf low
besides that you will still look pretty dyel, if you add in any kind of basic strength exercises you'll look great tho
Is it really that good for my abs? I only just started but it's feeling like everything BUT my abs are getting sore
No, idk wtf hes talking about
I got fricking sweet abs after I got out of college rowing. Probably helped by going extra hard on our accessory core workouts
anyone own a rowing machine? My home gym is made up of hand me downs and Amazon stuff so I’m wondering if a rowing machine is priced right for me
i had one from decathlon, the second cheapest one. it was too small for me and it hurted my back, i just sold it and got a 20€ per month gym membership. the good ones, big ones and quality ones are way too expensive.
Only answer is a Concept 2. Get it used if you can, they last forever. Anything else that's cheaper has so many drawbacks as to be entirely not worth it.

What other lifts/exercises combine well with rowing?
Currently I add:
single arm overhead press
body weight squat
bicep curl
lat pull down
extra ab exercises
Probably look pretty lean, but also DYEL.
No reason to not work in some push ups, abs, and shoulder exercises. Then you'll still look DYEL, but in a much more attractive to women sort of way.
Better than 99% of the homosexuals here
Rowing is my main cardio activity.
Based tbqh
What kind of lifting do you do?
You probably won't build a very impressive build depending on how big you want to get
But you will definitely get very well toned, and mog pretty much every powerlard who's at the brink of having a heart attack from merely going upstairs
Rowing is like the best cardio in existence (only swimming competes, but it is outdoor and inconvenient to do everyday), it hits pretty much your entire body, so the cardio gains are doubled
Throw the garbage treadmill away, running is high impact trash, more harm than good than your body in the long run
Just do more rowing instead
what are your thoughts on the eliptical?
>rowing machine
strong legs
bat wings
strong forearms
even works your core
strong butt game
>treadmill
even after 15 years in the game, I still do not understand why anyone would use these.
>even after 15 years in the game, I still do not understand why anyone would use these.
the only people who like treadmills are people who live in bad neighborhoods and can't walk around freely.
instead of moving to a better neighborhood they start going to the gym - specifically for cardio - same reason why spin cycle classes are popular.
Alright bros OP here.
Taking everything into consideration. Probably going to hard focus on just the rowing but add in 30 minutes of pec and ab training to make up for what I'm missing
Please tell me how to keep my feet secure
Send pics and I'll tell you
My feet are scarred up you won't like them.
SEND PICS ANON
pic related if you're a girl
I started to do some rowing as variation on my cardio as I don't really do any high intensity. Basically I do either a 2 min or a few 1 min sessions and try to beat my cals burned. My legs are the major issue holding me back. I've been capped at like 42 cals burned in 2 mins for weeks now.
I did crew in HS and College, train 9 days a week plus race weekend. I had massive legs, my back was good till I fricked it up, but upper body never got very big.
>non-perfect form
Severe spinal and multiple joint injury
>perfect form

t. 8-year high-school and collegiate rower
what cardio machine do you use now?
I've always used a concept 2. I'm 36, they do everything I've asked them to.
ah i c, so you consider the trade off still worth it? cool
I started at weak, fat and sedentary and look okay after almost a year of rowing almost every day. Lost 19kgs and gained strength. I think I look very average. Hopefully another year and I'll look good.
>actively making it because he's rowing
