      I always stan rowing because it can't be started as a child. Boats don't scale down properly so you can't become a rower until you've grown tall enough. Some people take to it more quickly, some are more naturally athletic, but nobody's better because they started at 5 years old.

      Also, I find it hard to believe that trained rowers get so many injuries on the erg per 1000 hours. Though if we're talking untrained gymgoers then I'm surprised it's so few.

      Thing with gym injuries is they tend to be things like tweaking your back and you heal up in a few days. Most people aren't moving strongman weights that can tear a quad off the bone. Compare to taking a puck to the teeth or treating your skull like a cruise missile in football

      The quintessential rowing injury is injuries to L4/L5, but that's worse out on the water in sweep boats because you have to twist the lumbar spine while braced under load. Other than that all you'll see is the typical overuse stuff, there's zero impact on any joints, even knees.

      I knew one guy in all my years rowing who had a non lower back injury. He had rib cage fracture, but it's because he was rowing lightweight and let his chest muscles get so weak relative to his back that he broke his own ribs when pulling.

      And mind you this was at the very elite level, he made the olympic team a few years later. This does not happen to normal people training as rowers.

      My gym doesn’t have a sled to push so at some point I’m gonna have to take the Concept 2-pill

      I have one at home but I never use it. I spent too much of my life being tortured on one to willingly sit on it now.

      My only advice is to never set the flywheel to any number above 4. Higher numbers open the vent more and slows the spin. That makes your next pull start from a slower position, and after thousands of strokes that's how you over do it on your back. 3-4 is what water feels like.

      Probably generalizes well My HS swim team consistently placed #2 in our conference, behind the Olympic feeder program This was nice because we worked hard enough to be good but there was never any delusion that we would actually be good enough to be seriously competitive

          The American approach of specializing early means they would dominate the junior Olympics. But the Soviets with stronger fundamentals would dominate the senior-level Olympics (talking weightlifting specifically). This might not be historically true, but it's thematically true.

          I wonder how much it matters that we're specializing kids before we know what the optimal sport is for their body and build. I'm guessing a lot.

          I sort of know that feel. The year ahead of me in high school had eight elite guys in the boat, two of whom made the national/olympic team. Their shoes were physically and metaphorically too huge to fill.

          My year wasn't even terrible, a few of us had strong collegiate careers and one made the olympic team, but we were nothing like the year before us.
