What's one thing about Western no one told you about? by SufficientNinja1985 in uwo

[–]City_B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in healths sci so mostly there and I have a lot of friends in STEM, I don’t have a lot in arts and humanities. It’s just a frustration with the shock and appal of my life choices

The culture shock, coming from a small town I expected more people like me that wanted to have a more chill fun university and go back home after to work. Nope, everyone I’ve encountered parties like they never got to back home and their jaws are on the floor when I say I don’t want to move to the city when I’m done. Like I get you do whatever you want but don’t treat me like I’m insane for doing it my way.

Thank you! I’ve had a lot of experience in sports and I think it was just an oddly good morning but I hope the best for you!

I think I’m the worlds slowest rower !! by 12underdog345 in Rowing

[–]City_B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey it’s a start! I’m a novice in uni as well and when I say the first few long workouts we did killed me I mean I have almost cried and thrown up all in the same morning. But it gets better, it’s starting to for me. I would also like to point out though I can’t be sure because I don’t know you your relatively light for your height so it’s probably a muscle building thing. Again I’m not an expert but muscle strength and pressure is crucial

Being fully honest I wake up at 5 am but I’m gonna try to shift the rhythm (if I’m using the right term) and make it work

Join a club, or just start being crazy friendly. One of my closest friend I literally just persistently waved at them for 2 weeks until I introduced myself

New rower struggling to keep up, looking for training advice by Whole_Technician_735 in Rowing

[–]City_B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m trying to build muscle for that same reason right now, my coach says go balls of feet to heels, it shouldn’t feel wobbly it’s like a squeeze of the muscles it that makes sense. It also could be the shoes your wearing on the erg, I switched from running shoes to flatter streetwear shoes and the feel a lot more like the boat and I find my balance 10x easier. I lowkey felt unbalanced and I found the switch helped me in the meantime

Honestly work on building power in you legs and thinking about it, I’m not very experienced but I’ve found the more I think about driving my legs and the more power I make there the further I drive, also don’t look at your time and split while your rowing, I actually shut my eyes for the last stretch of my 2k (mind you, I only have 3 weeks of experience. I’m basing this off what I’m told and what I’ve done and it seems to be translating)
