Anyone row here? I've been rowing high school crew for a club for 3 years now. For someone who was never the big star of the basketball, soccer, baseball, football, etc., teams (let alone even able to handle a ball in those sports) I finally found a great sport that I can actually say I'm decent at. So does anyone else do crew here?
Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
Butthead: Huh huh.

    Hi, I am sorry I am a little late to respond but I do row. At least I have for the past week. I bought a Hydrow rower recently and have really been enjoying the workouts so far. 

    Does anyone else row? Can anyone provide @rhcpjam1029 and I any tips?

    Were you drinking when you responded to an 11 year old thread?

    This is the Hydrow I'm using. Hell of a piece of machinery. Tons interactive workouts. I love it so far. What are the rest of you rowing on (other than water)?

    I took up kayaking this year.  I do like that.  You do "row" but nothing like skulling.

    rowing is one hell of a workout...I almost bought a Concept 1 (?) years ago....there’s supposed to be a great documentary about a rowing team that started at some inner city (NYC?) school.

    Concept 2? Yeah, that is supposed to be one of the best ones out there and has been for years. Do you still row? They say it utilizes 86% of your body. 

    Gotta check out that doc. @rhcpjam1029, do you know which documentary ol' @Wobbie is referring to?

    As an avid RHCP fan I am more curious as to which RHCP Jam on 10/29 @rhcpjam1029 was referring to when he came up with his screen name? And yes back to rowing... my apologies for derailing the subject at hand.

    A Most Beautiful Thing.

    the Concept 2? We used to do 2500m(?) challenges at work and minutes seemed like hours. It is one hell of a workout..,arms, shoulders, legs, abdomen, etc.

    Did we abandon the American Imperial way of counting?  Metric only now?

    If I am correct that is almost 3 miles of rowing.  That is a nice long distance.  How long does that take, 20 minutes or so?

    Did about 3,800 in 20 minutes, then the rest in a cool down row for 5.
