I don't know if everyone around the world heard or not, but in Newtown, Connecticut ... You'd need to live in a cave with no Internet or TV to miss that. The discussion here in the UK after the initial shock of another American shooting has been all about your gun controls (or lack of). There's bee...

I must say the amount of acronyms in rowing is rather daunting for beginners. I was also wondering what the whole 1w/pound body weight, at rating 20 meant. I'm used to cross country running, and in comparison to rowing there really isn't much to it.. Good information though; I'm sure after some more...

Even for just 500m there is only one person in the records who has gone faster than t...

Welcome, I'm new as well, and rowed my 1st 4000M (2 workouts). I haven't been able to get near your time, but I managed 9:36 and that required effort to achieve :oops: About a year ago I lost 40lbs, and I felt great. Since then I stopped working out, and gained 30lbs which i'm pretty sure isn't musc...
