That slide isn't like a stack of weights on a cable. It's a drag adjustment. You set it according to whatever boat/crew weight you're training for.

Are you doing the rowing machine for strength training? You are doing it wrong if so.

What's the etiquette in a rack line? Do you put your powder shaker on the rails like quarters on a pool table?

GORDON posted:Short hoodie guy was training someone today, and I heard him say, "See that long muscle there? That's your bicep. But there's also another muscle right next to it, and you need to work that one too with a closer grip on the bar." There's 4 major muscles in the upper arm. Bicep (two distinct cords), triceps (three cords), brachialis, radiobrachialis. He was probably talking about the radiobrachialis which also forms a part of the forearm.

Alan_Shore posted:Today I saw a guy doing bent over barbell rows... Only he wasn't bent over, just standing up but tilted forward just very so slightly at the waist so his lower back was incredibly arched, and only his heels were on the floor and he was rowing SO fast. I don't know what these people are thinking. It's kind of like doing the rowing machine on 10. Cardio or strength, pick one!

GORDON posted:My current goal is to lose 12 more pounds by xmas, which will put me at 199.9. I haven't been that svelte since the Marines (I am also 6'0). I am thinking of going 100% cardio between now and then.... and call it a recovery period. But I am not sure I want to sacrifice the strength gains of the last 6 months. I want to keep the muscle but lose the layer of whale-like blubber. Why don't you just cut regardless and then train back your strength later. Your muscle mass may go down but you'll retain the neural network so it'll be easier to get strong again (warning this post is 100℅ bro science)

E_P posted:I did legs today. Finally got my lever belt fixed so I went heavy on squats and worked up to 465lbs before I felt like stopping. Then I did step ups on a box that went up to my midsection with 135 and felt like I was dieing. Finished with a couple more exercises and then some half assed ab exercises. I considered stretching after but then decided rather then make a good decision I would go home and play MGSV. I guess after a hard workout like that your brain would be in the proper low functioning mindset required to enjoy that abortion of Metal Gear game.
