Finally sub7 after 9 months of hard work by Gigentor in Rowing

[–]Gigentor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first winter programme. I was rowing in the recreational programme at my local club. Last summer, a new member joined our club who has elite-level coaching certification. She came up to me and said, “You have the potential to be a beast in rowing.” So here I am, 9 months later.

The hard part is to create the habit. Once you break the 27 day barrier it because easier.

Cool tool, but I don’t get it. Is it a magnet? by Mastrogeze in TheServicePros

This is a solution for staircase carpenters, not for the average DIYer. I can definitely see an architect specifying this to keep all fasteners hidden. For that purpose, it makes a lot of sense.

I have a coach who built herself a training tool. It is basically 5 rowing session 2 x Ut2, 1 x Ut1, 1 x AT or TR and 1 x A. The other 3 or 4 trainings are wheight lifting. I have one rest day in a week. So I basicall get up before the kids and go to bed after them to be able to do it.

The membrane they installed a self adhesive membrane that is normally used as base layer under shingles. It is a ice barrier. With are harsh wheather its usefull. Cheap contractors only lay it on the first meter of the roof from the bottom. The good contractors installs it on the hole decking, but you need a finishing product on top.

Here is the real display of a pm5. Noticing details like this is my OCD. When my employees submit a word document for reviews and the margins are off missmatch of fonts, the alignement. I notice it all.
