I said this in the blog, but one of the mistakes I made was doing, for example, 8 sets of 1 with about 95% of my max instead of 15 sets of 1 with more like 85%. IMO, size=more sets, even at the expense of weight. Strength=fewer sets, all about how much weight you can push. Again, it's a balancing act when strength training is not your primary goal. <br /><br />Good luck.<br /><br />WillWillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08806038244963754854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835524249360195666.post-62398001281482460592011-02-28T18:41:09.585-05:002011-02-28T18:41:09.585-05:00Richard,

Rowing is a weird combination of endurance and sprint because races typically last close to 7 minutes (endurance) but each 500m are different parts of a sprint so you never really achieve that "steady state" of endurance sports. I would doubt that you could really be equally effective at both, but hey, you just have to experiment and find a balance that works for you. Sorry I can't help more.<br /><br />Paul--The bench vs squat weight is largely a result of my not being able to squat until 2009 because of a torn meniscus...I basically benched 3-4 times a week and took my bench from 165 to 225 in about 9 months, while my squat sat at approximately nothing. I'm sure that I could cut some weight now, but seeing as I have no need (no weigh-in for lacrosse) and it would actually be detrimental to my current performance, I doubt I'll be trying to cut down anytime soon. My brother is did CNP while wrestling at 112 and had pretty good gains while staying in his class.<br /><br />WillWillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08806038244963754854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835524249360195666.post-21479727215097067422011-02-26T17:42:55.956-05:002011-02-26T17:42:55.956-05:00Thanks Mars, I appreciate the complement!!

I was a skinny endurance athlete (triathlon) for ages but gave it all up to get bigger and stronger about a year and a half ago and have made really good progress in this time. However recently I have had the itch to return to triathlon because I really do miss it - racing, being outside, club spirit etc. Bodybuilding and strength training is pretty non-existant where I live in the UK....especially among females and therefore is pretty isolating! But I'm just worried incase I set myself back at all - dont want to lose any of the gains that I've managed to make!<br /><br />Just wondering if you think it would be possible to do something similar to what you have done with my sport, and if you could send me some more info/advice?!!<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />LaurenUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07042299617162669495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835524249360195666.post-83681135216271803602011-02-25T16:20:03.544-05:002011-02-25T16:20:03.544-05:00I'd love to experiment with that program for a...I'd love to experiment with that program for a while!!!!
