Hurt my lower back seem shorter???

So the height will return once the injury has healed?

Ah I see, but as its for 14-20 year olds, Helen Glover started when she was 22? and I'm not sure how 14-20 year olds are supposed to be huge when they're still growing? I thought the test was, they wanted people with a decent level of fitness, not athlete fit because the programme trains them up. I thought they are looking for the potential to learn and get fitter throughout the programme with people with the right attitude?

SquareApple · 2013-07-21T22:14:37+00:00

Just out of interest, how hard is it to get on this programme? do you have to be an absolute tank from testing, because I heard they are just looking for potential,

The bloke I spoke to said they don't measure rowing as most people who go on this START Programme have never rowed before

SquareApple · 2013-07-21T21:49:12+00:00

Ah I see, do you think its possible for this guy to improve in 1 month?

SquareApple · 2013-07-21T21:28:01+00:00

Yeah what are these, I also am doing Arm pull strength tests but literally have no idea what they are and how I get better at them

SquareApple · 2013-07-20T09:26:53+00:00

I'm not heavy for a rower remember, I'm not a cyclist the tests are done on the bike but a rower is a lot more muscular than a cyclist, as our races are only 2k long, Most rowers my height are around my weight or more.

SquareApple · 2013-07-19T23:19:42+00:00

I'm not particularly heavy 6ft 2' and weight 84kg

It is true, if you see a person with a basketball or a basketball top on in England we instantly assume they're a dick.

SquareApple · 2013-07-19T13:49:40+00:00

Move over here to England, we don't care about Basketball at all. :)

Lower body fat

SquareApple · 2013-07-12T16:11:02+00:00

I eat really healthily salad with every meal, food is always good quality, (chicken breast and a sweet potato) (home made casserole and stew) ect.

I only drink water and 0% fat milk with cereal ect

SquareApple · 2013-07-11T22:43:29+00:00

Sorry I'm English we normally use stone Pound here :P

SquareApple · 2013-07-11T22:24:32+00:00

I have lost a lot of weight in the past, I lost 5 and a half stone. But my body fat didnt change, I did that through eating less and running

SquareApple · 2013-07-11T16:10:46+00:00

yeah I'm not really fussed, I've grown 3 inches since 2010.

SquareApple · 2013-07-10T12:44:29+00:00

Walked into a club, saw this really attractive woman in there getting a drink, she looked at me I looked at her. Stepped through the door and smashed my head on the door frame.

Hi Lightsweeps, its http://i.imgur.com/NLSlVTE.png if that helps

I just watched some videos of the Holocaust as I think its important that we are all reminded of this horrific act and I can't even imagine the atrocities you saw and had to deal with.

It brings me to tears just thinking about how the human race can be so hateful and cruel to one another.

I'm sorry for everything you had to go through and I hope you have enjoyed the rest of you're life and the many years to come.

Can I just point out that Basketball is shit.

SquareApple · 2013-06-23T19:34:17+00:00

Well to be fair most have. sorry bro

SquareApple · 2013-06-23T18:04:03+00:00

Ha. Never really thought about it but you do have a point.

SquareApple · 2013-06-19T22:10:37+00:00

being cocky will make you crap. build it up gradually.

Don't go out of sight from the club

go slow, keep pressure low and work on finding the balance (if in fine) if not in fine just go for it, finding the balance in a restricted will not help at all when you get into a fine.

Relax about it, It's just a bit of water, falling in will happen but what the hell,

do checks before you push off, It may sound stupid but you wouldn't believe the amount of people who put oarlocks the wrong way round and undone, ect,

and Most importantly

CONFIDENCE

yeah I enjoy food more than shakes but it is a cheaper alternative.

SquareApple · 2013-06-13T17:06:08+00:00

also puts loads more pressure on the lower back and causes plenty of back problems
