This looks great.
The HYDROW bills itself as a 'Live Outdoor Reality Rower' (think rowing machine with a screen showing another rower, outdoors), which lets you row with world class athletes streaming live from the water. Very interesting concept - would love to see other pieces of equipment offer a similar pairing.
To give you an idea of what this thing looks like and how it works, a spot of video :
Great information.
I'm constantly amazed at just how much my training is influenced by the people on this site. Whether you're looking for a new piece of equipment, an unusual exercise variation or just an idea of how others approach things, you'll enjoy these :

In Gymchat 136 - Heavy Training after a Break, Vic noted :
I lost a LOT of strength on some lifts. It was surprising. That's why that initial 3 weeks of lighter work was important to me - it was smart to underestimate my strength at first.
And
It's important to consciously do less those first few weeks. I was off for almost 2 years - as a rule I did not put any more than 135lbs on the bar the first week. I did not push any sets to failure the next two weeks while still staying at 5 reps or less for most sets.
Good stuff.

Good stuff Bret, looks great.
The goodness continues.
This is the second part of David Webster's 'The Complete Physique Course' - Lessons 3 & 4. It's a wonderful combination of specific workouts and the basics of Olympic Weightlifting.
I haven't read the originals for a long, long time - looking forward to diving in to the Kindle incarnation.

Great show.
Although I've been listening to 'Napalm' Jedd Johnson's 'This Week in Grip' podcast for a while now, a conversation this morning reminded me that we've never mentioned in it here.
Time to rectify that.
The most recent episode will give you a good idea of what the show's like. Suffice to say that if you enjoy the occasional dose of grip work, you'll love this. Wonderful insights, guests and hosts.
You'll find it on Jedd's Youtube Channel :
Enjoy.
Great Information.
