What's your bodyfat percentage?

[Kev]

Rowing machines are LEGIT, I couldn't believe how much they kicked my ass the first time I used them in high school. I wish my gym had one.

Yeah I love mine. I have to row at a very slow pace though. My 5000 metre pieces are typically just under 2:30/500 pace whereas you see guys on youtube rowing at under 2:00/500 but it still gives the same workout benefits, I mean my heart gets up to 185 bpm peak which at 35 is probably my maximum possible heartrate.

Of course with my lungs the way they are my heart is at 120 bpm just by sitting on the machine but I can still feel the benefits.

I really want to knock about 10 bpm off my resting heart rate. I think my current resting rate is close to 90 bpm and if I could get it down to below 80 I'd feel so much less concerned about my future health problems.

Imagine Tua or Tyson the machine would probably blow up.

BMI is relativly useless except in cases of pretty bad obesity to be honest.

I'm 6 foot even, 13 stone and my body fat floats between 5-9%.

I'm 'overweight'

Conversaly you could get a 6 foot 12 stone guy with poor muscle mass and he would be an ideal weight -despite probably carrying too much fat.

Useless for athletes and the elderly amongst others.
