agree with everything you said. you can use the concept two to get fit and strong but it does not always translate to on the water success. but it is a good place to start if you can. legs body arms, arms body legs...

The Concept II is the standard, and the only one I've ever used. It approximates the physical part of rowing pretty well in terms of the general movements and physical demands. However, it's probably impossible for a dry-land machine to match the on-the-water experience that necessitates balance and technique.

You can learn a lot of technique on a C2, but you can also use shitty technique and still get a hard workout. If you have shitty technique on the water you won't get a good workout, you'll just get frustrated

I play competitive basketball- 6'2" 185 31yo can almost dunk.. which has always been a goal. I can get up and slide the ball in, but can't throw it down,yet . I play big, down low, because I love the physicality.

I played community college tennis, and golf. Also 15 years of baseball in my youth. I love sports, and use bodybuilding/weight training to maintain an edge.

High school....football wrestling track
College....football and track...actual scholoarship was track....but was just away a sneaking extra scholarship for D1 team....rarely won races in college...but didn't lose ether...100 200 400

After college mauy Thai...12 _4

Was lucky enough to stumble across the Gracie academy in Ca.
Took classes from Helio & Royce.
Royce gave me my first belt promotion .
The whole family is just amazing to deal with.

That's fucking awesome....nothing like getting belted by a legend....

 

[sodominsane]

Kool kool me too.
I saw you train at neutral grounds that a good place too. I started in 93 at the academy then went to Joe morreara then machado now I and doing more catch wrestling.

I have trained bjj and catch wrestling....no expert in ether....however they seemed real similar....well the no gi stuff was

Only thing I saw was the catch guys were a little more dynamic and not at all afraid of turtle ing up.....bjj guys would "bake" an opponent more....where the catch guys would use movement movement movement

Might have been just difference in coaching...but would love to here YOUR opinion on differnces!!!!!

Oh and catch guys love da leg locks

 

[sodominsane]

I was on the college swim team and competed in athletics at national level as a junior. Still a good tennis player. My grandmother and great aunt were both tennis aces, they could really play.
