I wouldn’t be so sure, I remember trying one of these machines years ago and it didn’t go well. I am sure a strong back doesn’t make up for midget legs. I might give it a go instead of prowler work on Friday and if it is a disaster I will keep it to myself. lol

Let’s be reasonable, we need a video record, if it’s a disaster we need to be able to see why… And laugh

Set it to 500m - you can even set a pace boat…
Then row.

This morning, America’s funniest home videos was playing on the gym TVs.
I was thinking, why not post videos of middle aged men attempting to break the 500m row record

Harsh, and in my case not quite accurate yet!

Aren’t you older than me?
Didn’t know you could do any of this. I press “just row” and row. Maybe toggle through the displays and units if I don’t like how it’s set up.
34 for one more month… Definitely not middle aged!

I wasn’t aware of those features either - the pace boat is an interesting concept, although I think with the 500m sprint I could bare see/focus on the screen so probably more useful for longer less intense rowing sessions, thanks @carlbm!

You’re a couple of months older than me then. My music taste would definitely suggest i’m middle aged and kidding myself

Well mathematically speaking I guess it depends on how long you fellas intend to live, eh?

Weirdly enough I had this discussion recently when I referred to my wife as middle aged in front of my parents (she’s 8 years older) - ended up debating whether middle aged is half the average life expectancy (81.26 years in the UK - meaning I’m 5.5 years off!) Or something else - Google defined it as somewhere between 40 and 60!
I’d personally go with middle of average life expectancy but if you’re close to or in your 40s then you probably want to ride Google’s definition until you hit 60s!
That can be changed! Get your dubstep on…or whatever weird thing the kids listen to these days.
I thought we were similar, probably had this discussion before, but my middle aged brain forgets…

I had this exact same conversation with my better half recently too. She agreed with Google that 40s is the absolute earliest you can be called middle aged.
Thats a hard pass thanks. I’m not that interested in hearing about what goes in “in the club” anymore, I’d rather listen to stuff more applicable to my life. Like Iron Maiden.

Guys, midlife starts at 30. You are well into it. The last 20 years of life don’t count, because you are pretty much worthless for all of that.
Not me, of course, I will still be killing it at 60.

I was pretty useless for the first 20+ as well though.
Well yeah, you can’t lose that much strength by Thursday.

You just basically admitted that I am, indeed, killing it.

Hard to argue with, sadly. Thats why I have to fall back on the old punchlines.

Mate, I basically started this shit at around 35. You got all the time in the world.

From a running start, I assume, given your military service as well.
My military service ended when I turned 20, so not so much.
