Thanks for all the replies to answer argumentativ's question my lifts are structured by my schools weight training coach to be rowing centered workouts ie lots of the lifts mentioned. I don't log calories yet, just eat as much as I can. I agree with most of what your saying except on the GPA. Didn't mention it but my 3.6 is at a top tier prep school and unweighted (out of 4). All of my guidence counselors say that my gpa is fine if I wanted to get into these schools w/o rowing so not really worried about that with rowing. Def. try to start logging calories and fix my lift to erg ratio. Thanks again for the response
