Outstanding lift, LoL!!! I agree with Totz, it looked like you didn't struggle at all!!
Thought I would post a pic of my back, taken a couple of weeks ago (11/05/13), prior to any serious training this year. I'm hoping that, come December, it'll be thicker and chunkier... assuming I've put in the training time and assuming I've chewed on enough chickens. I think I'm around 12% bf here. I hope it isn't much over that.
It's funny seeing a pic of your own back. I seem to have a few weird things going on along with a few scars. Function over form!
@ Tim: I'll see what I can do.
Hey smf, glad to know your still alive and kicking! Thanks for your thoughts.Hey, Lol,
I've been away from the board for a few years for various reasons, but it's great to see this pic. Your hard work w/ the weights really shows. Your entire back, bis, traps, shoulder structure looks very solid and strong. What would you say is your easiest muscle group to make gains in?
Keep up the great work.

C2 Row Sprints
Inspired by NTB, I had a go at a few 20 sec sprints with damper on 10.
Furthest I went was 122 metres with an average power output of 635.9 Watts and average stroke rate of 51 spm. I'll get 125m next time when my legs are fresher.
Shankle Jumps
Bit of an experiment: from standing you drop down into squat, roll backwards onto upper-back as if to do a backward rolly-polly(?) and then roll forwards onto feet and jump back up. Rinse and repeat. Might add these into my warmup.
Wow, that is some serious rowing, LOL!! 122 metres and 51 SPM is crazy fast. My technique must be wrong because my arse lifts off the seat whenever I try to go faster than around 43-45 spm. I actually came completely off the seat once and I almost fell off the dang thing. I've never looked at the "power" output before, but I'll do that next time. I know I'm nowhere close to 635.9
Have you tried setting the foot stretchers a little higher so that you are pushing more back than up for the drive? That may help you to stay in the seat. For a max power output attempt put something rubbery on the seat as that'll also help you not to slide off it. I've done this several times!
