>pulling
You don't know anything about rowing. It's predominately a (leg) push movement.
Ya'll some dumb niggahs. Rowing engages your core, (brace as you push back) and your legs, and depending on your form, either your upper chest or lower back
Obvi im not going to row an hour bc not retarded.
Incline makes it more like a squat.
Can evacuate all energy much faster in 6 sec sprint bc I can drain it out of the legs
>Make a playlist of your favourite songs >Get on >Put playlist on >Row for 30 minutes >It's over before you know it
Back when I still went to the gym I would always do 20 minutes on the rowing machine having this on repeat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQdxPxJW68M
I really ought to find a rowing machine for my home gym.
>imagine i'm a pirate >sail my way over to the bench because pirates don't row >chest all day
kek
Used it once and fucked my back for around 3 months. Yes I’m retarded
hurts my lower back. not immediately but after several hour after im done.
This is the main issue with the rowing machine for me
I always use it as a warm-up before I start lifting but my back gets sore/tired really quickly. I've looked at form videos and tried to adjust but never got any good results. I was thinking maybe my core is weak but I don't seem to have any core issues with other exercises.
Greek city states used free citizens for their rowings. They dont trust slaves to handle their ships and defend it in case of a ship on ship boarding action. Romans used slave rowers, but Romans were also very poor boatsmen so what do they know?

Get a weighted pulley machine with a seat and adjustable pulley for max gains if there's ability to add more weights onto it. You can do your back, arms and rowing on it.
When i bough my rowing machine i used to fuck up the muscles above shoulders and my lower back. I got used to it, no more pain, maybe yall need to stop being bitches and actually do the exercise properly and regularly. The only thing i dont like about rowing is that my baby hands usually get unbareable pain if i row for like an hour, but it has gotten better too, at first my fingers would lock even rowing with low resistance, now i can row on 7/10 resistance and my hands hurt only a bit.

>all this naggers in the thread calling it "boring"
Do you guys not listen to music or some shit?
I use it for my cardio. It doesn’t replace weight training

>Gives you a body of a Greek God.
what the fuck does this do that a pull day of weight training does not?
Full body stamina, strengthens core and spinal erectors a ton, fixes slouching posture.
I dropped my resting heart rate from 82 to 64 after 2 months of consistent steady state rowing.
I got a cheapo bike but got tired of my knees and ass hurting from it being so damn flimsy and shit. I want to move on to a rower and not being a cheap homosexual this time. What do you guys recommend with no limits on budget and space?
they had one of these machines at my uni gym, i would only go like 30 minutes at a time but this shit takes a LOT out of you, like your whole body gets into it, feels good tho
Imagine being born a human, one of the most enduring animals ever when it comes to walking for extremly long periods/running for medium periods and yall fuckheads wanna row. Just go on an incline mill for half an hour. If your feeling like a special little snowflake use the stairmaster, or better yet, walk you fat ass to the gym. Uhuh but it braces your core... just do planks you fucking nimwits.
Imagine being imbued with all the intellect and ingenuity of a human and thinking walking on a fucking treadmill is somehow better than the full-bodied rowing.
You suck at life.
Why the fuck do I need full body endurance exercises when I can literally train endurance concentrated on a specifiy muscle group? Are you actually retarded? If my right arm is stronger than my left, i train it diffrently. Now tell me why I should only do a compound movement that could be bottlenecked by literally a hundred diffrent things?
This. The rowing machine is purely made for fat boomers and 20% bf "builtfat" niggas so they can tell themselves that they burned fat, but truly it is just an excuse to keep sitting on your ass while doing cardio. I would even argue that in this sense, on average, the rowing machine has done more total damage to the fitness of the population than it has helped people.
Rowing is an extremely lazy excuse for cardio, and it doesn't really build muscle either, so really what good is it?
rowing is the most intense form of cardio there is maybe matched by swimming you skeleton roons need to stay silent when you get mogged this hard
>rowing is the most intense form of cardio
Really? Then why does running burn almost twice the amount of calories of rowing in half an hour?
>*BONG* *BONG* *BONG*
Well not that model
I'm afraid to use it because I've never used it... is it like a low cable row?
No, rowing machine is a cardio + strength movement. Low cable is just strength.
>rowing machine is a cardio + strength movement
Wrong. It's neither.
Then what the fuck is it, anon.
Ya'll some dumb niggahs. Rowing engages your core, (brace as you push back) and your legs, and depending on your form, either your upper chest or lower back
>upper chest
>t. retarded nagger
It's you pulling a resistance towards the middle of your abdomen. That's it.
>pulling
You don't know anything about rowing. It's predominately a (leg) push movement.
literally one of the easiest machines in the gym to use. rowing and skiing machines are what got me started when I was a DYEL
Used it once and fucked my back for around 3 months. Yes I’m retarded
Put the back of the rower on the stairs
>incline rowing
interesting, good tip, what extra does it give over normal rowing?
Obvi im not going to row an hour bc not retarded.
Incline makes it more like a squat.
Can evacuate all energy much faster in 6 sec sprint bc I can drain it out of the legs
Post body
no pump, no flex but i still mog you
It's so fucking boring
>doesnt listen to mastadon while rowing
Back when I still went to the gym I would always do 20 minutes on the rowing machine having this on repeat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQdxPxJW68M
I really ought to find a rowing machine for my home gym.
I met the drummer and he was a fucking dickhead. I wanted to kick his ass for being such a dick. The drummer of kylesa was a fucking bro though.

THE SEA IS MY MOTHER
SHE'D NEVER TAKE ME BACK INTO HER MURKY WOMB
>he doesn't imagine he's an Athenian slave rowing a Trireme to battle
I live in the San Antonio TX area. I'm looking for a drummer that is willing to...
>Wear a Athenian style dress toga.
>Yell, "RAMMING SPEED" in Ancient Greek
>Throw buckets of sea water at me
I was just there. What a shithole that city is.
Greek city states used free citizens for their rowings. They dont trust slaves to handle their ships and defend it in case of a ship on ship boarding action. Romans used slave rowers, but Romans were also very poor boatsmen so what do they know?
Damn. Ya just schooled me. Tell me more about Ancient Greece please.
I'm black, so can I imagine I'm an african slave forced into rowing my own slave ship to the Americas? It really helps me put my back into it
>I'm black, so can I imagine I'm an african slave forced into rowing my own slave ship to the Americas?
The fuck you talking bout nigga?
Imagine you're rowing to wakanda at least what the fuck
Kek.
>he's a slave even in his imagination
The israelites really did a number on this one
Sounds like you need to go watch Ben-Hur and Conan the Barbarian zoomzoom
>Conan
Ceases to be a slave :^)
>Ben-Hur
Might watch it one day
I recently took the rowing pill. I wish I started doing it earlier.
But that's not a vial of tren anon
I use it for my cardio. It doesn’t replace weight training
It also doesn't replace any REAL form of cardio. The rowing machine is a complete waste of time.
What resistance level do I pick for the 1-10 ones?
the hardest one and I do it until the sea beckons into the gym
>need to sleep like a god to use it
hurts my lower back. not immediately but after several hour after im done.
I recommend doing hindu push ups to balance it, its like the counter movement to rowing.
>is extremely boring
>all this naggers in the thread calling it "boring"
Do you guys not listen to music or some shit?
imagining these guys rowing for 1 hour in stony silence. lol
My 120lbs uncle said one time that I was wasting my money on weight plates and that I should buy one of these

I rowed in college for 2.5 years, can confirm these will transform you into a twig without lifting. Entire team of skellies.

what the fuck does this do that a pull day of weight training does not?
Train your arms directly which you are obviously lacking for following T-Rex Strength.
I'm doing PPL doe
legs
Full body stamina, strengthens core and spinal erectors a ton, fixes slouching posture.
I dropped my resting heart rate from 82 to 64 after 2 months of consistent steady state rowing.
High reps which is what forearms rear delts and mid back need to grow
Notice the losers who make these threads never post their own pics.
Let's see your god-like body from rowing homosexual
while Jason and co was rowing, Heracles was doing rows and fucking twinks
for me its this one
Nice, I have this also. I also take it with me when I fly.
Should I buy it anons? Half off right now and I feel like I'd benefit from having it with my home gym
Yes, it's better than treadmilling.
>dicky rowing machine
When the cable snaps is amazing
The whole world turn upside down
>Gives you a body
I got a cheapo bike but got tired of my knees and ass hurting from it being so damn flimsy and shit. I want to move on to a rower and not being a cheap homosexual this time. What do you guys recommend with no limits on budget and space?
>alumni rower
>these things trigger my practice ptsd
I HATE ERGS
recs for machines?
Just looked at FB Marketplace after reading this thread , found one for £10.00
I'll be larping as a roman slave soon enough
they had one of these machines at my uni gym, i would only go like 30 minutes at a time but this shit takes a LOT out of you, like your whole body gets into it, feels good tho
30 minutes is like 5000 meters if you actually rowed.
It's more like 20 minutes.
