I know a guy on a rowing team that's going to nationals
He's skinny as fuck, so it won't do shit by itself

I think OP saw The Social Network one too many times and thinks that he will become Arnie Hammer is he rows

Well lightweights have weight restrictions, so they never even try to get big. Heavyweights are pretty yoked. But they get big from college weight programs, not the actual rowing. The rowing just gives you ok legs and a strong back.

So rowing should always be complemented with weightlifting?

The reason why world class rowers are big is because they are world class rowers. They workout more in the gym than they do in the boat

Yes. The guys on my team that didn't also lift were almost Auschwitz-tier skinny.

If you want a little extra muscle from practice, put the resistance on the ergometer to max setting.

>Will I make substantial gains from it?
Probably not. It's good conditioning though. I mean the ancient Greeks did and they ware fit as fuck

On my uni's crew team, it's mostly just legs. Most of my teammates are fat drunks. but you also have super fit people mixed in. It just matters how much work you put in
