How’s it been going? Anybody seeing some results? I’ve been telling y’all to row for months now, at least a few of you should be getting absolutely shredded by now! I’m about to go row even though I’m sober and it absolutely sucks, so y’all better get to work!

    Reporting for duty!

    I top out at a sustained 24 strokes per minute, and do 30 minutes per session. At least twice a week. 9/10 resistance, 10/10 soon. Still gaining muscle as long as I take in enough protein.

      If you’re doing those 30 minutes all without stopping you’re a fucking warrior abracadaniel rat-salute-2

      I get my 30 minutes in over the course of like an hour of smoking weed and cursing the human ability to sweat

      The real battle for me, gotta eat eat eat. I think the high resistance helps in making it more of a lifting exercise than a cardio thing but it’s still both and the rower says it’s about 180 kcal a session. And my appetite still sucks ass!

        I do take one break at 15 minutes.

        Yeah having enough of an appetite can be tough. Luckily I found a plant based protein powder that tastes okay.
