Mixing it up
I could really feel yesterday's workout this morning, and I must have looked like a zombie when I walked to the office with my back hunched and my legs stiff straight., so Clayton and I decided to change things a bit today and go for a more (easy) aerobic workout. We did:
10 min (2240 meters) rowing.
10 min (7 min mile) running.
3x5 benchpress;
- GF: 135, 155, 145 (failed on the last rep)
- CF: 135, 135, 135
Pullups:
- GF: 3 at +60, 10 suicides - I think that's the right name, the ones where you move from side to side with a wide grip (5 on each side), 1 round of Frenchies - I think that's the right name, the ones where you lock off at the top, then at 90, then open.
- CF: 3 or 4
Kenway, any pointers as to proper form for the rowing machine?

Seeing as it's a little hard to give pointers without actually seeing your form - post video!
The key is to realize that the large majority of the force comes from your legs and not your arms. The stroke should go:
1) legs drive down, back held at constant angle and arms locked extended
2) back opens, arms stay locked
3) arms pull in to the chest.
It's really one fluid motion, but legs definitely dive before the backl openas and arms contract...

Thanks Kenway (but no I will not post a video).
I received my new climbing gear! Sweet, can't wait to try those 8.5 mm ropes.
