I just noticed that you seem to enjoy your rowing and you seem to be getting better at it… Competition can be a nice thing for giving you a deadline to try and meet so you improve in ways you might not otherwise. Rowing is cool, too. Very much a strength / power sport. Nice that the concept II’s are properly calibrated etc so you have an accurate measure of performance (unlike most other cardio-type equipment that varies according to the particular machine and gives you lies about such things as distance or calories expended).
My problem with rowing is that I don’t actually do it very often. My technique is far from perfect to be sure. My limiting factor is probably the 25-30 cigarettes I consume daily, however.

Olympic lifting is more like putting everything you have into one stroke. Suits my smoking better As do sets of no more than 3 reps with a good couple minutes break before the next set.

gracis amiga maschi yyyy lol Nicki, this chick was a bit shocked! I did see her doing tricep pulldowns (with her arab bf standing behind her biting kissing her and pulling down most of the weight for her…) Honestly I feel like if I were in the USA, I’d already have have the females in the gym rowing and squatting… but here it’s just different. NO LOVE! But me and the gorilla, we’ll do our best. [/quote]
Yeah but if every girl is squating then you have to wait for the squat rack. There appears to be an epidemic of squating at my gym, it sucks. I <3 cardio bunnies, because they don’t use the bench or squat rack. I’m selfish.
Oh and I second or third or whateverd your bum looking great.
@alexus: your limiting factor is your imagination, nothing more. If you think you can smoke 25 cigs and row 10km/day, YOU CAN. If you think you cant, you cant. Whats going to happen on the row machine if you try? You’ll die??? Worst thing that could happen is you will pass out or vomit. It’s a PAIN contest CBear seems to realize a little something about this. Just forget about limiting factors and embrace the PAIN. Do I sound psycho? good.
THANKS FOR ALL THE NICE COMMENTS ABOUT MY BUTT. Lately my hardwork is being thoroughly appreciated, so I have absolutely nothing to bitch about.

walked home listening to some very intense opera on the radio. No idea what they were saying but it sounded pretty damn exciting.
Good work with the DLs, Beauty. As for the warmup, I usually do Good Mornings, torso-rotations, bird-dog, stuff of that nature to warm up and stretch my lower back. Time for coffee.
@beast: ^bird-dog? Is that like the liger? in other words, wtf are you talking about? can you do this (naked) and show me a video? @schlampe: let both knees fall to one side? can you do this (naked) and show me a video? @smokers: NO MORE CIGARETTES FOR ME EVER!!! BLEHHHH!! I hate tasting them again while rowing @blaze: it’s the form x weight that assisted me x sets x reps. big ass = needs assistance. well, for now. @all: we need to prepare a fortress for the zombie apolcolypse.

Aww…Bre is trying to stop using the word “retard” for me! I love that! Nice training in here. My neighbor offered to teach me how to use the rower properly! I’ll let you know how that goes. I usually get off of there with my hip flexors so tight I can barely stand.
As do sets of no more than 3 reps with a good couple minutes break before the next set.
Ok not totally dying but really really would like, and sometimes dying
