Stop Doing "Cardio."
Start Building an Engine.
Most lifters treat the rowing machine like a warmup or a punishment. They sit down, crank the damper to 10, and muscle through it with poor form. The result? A blown-out lower back and zero gains.
I’ve taken the principles of hypertrophy and strength training—Progressive Overload, Periodization, and Kinetic Chain sequencing—and applied them to the 1000m Row.
The 8-Week 1000m Challenge isn't just about sweating. It’s about building a posterior chain that looks like a roadmap and an aerobic engine that doesn't quit.
Inside the Protocol:
-
✅ A Structured Periodization Schedule: 8 weeks of structured progression (Endurance, Threshold, & Max Power).
-
✅ The "Drag Factor" Fix: Why rowing at Level 10 is killing your speed (and your spine).
-
✅ Kinetic Chain Coaching: Learn to sequence Legs -> Hips -> Arms to stop "muscling" the stroke.
-
✅ Mobility & Accessory Work: Bulletproof your hips and lower back.
Your goal: Break the 3-minute barrier.
The cost: Free.
The catch: You have to do the work.
