    Does Rowing translate to Running?

    Posted: 18 Nov 2020 06:48 AM PST

    I have to take a physical fitness test for a job in the coming month. Part of this test is a 1.5 mile run. But recently I started experiencing pain in my left heal and found out I have plantar fasciitis. My Doctor ordered me to not run on it for 2 weeks but I need to stay in shape because I do not know when the test will be. I have been using the row machine for 30 minutes a day but have no clue if that is going to help with my running when I have to take the test.

    Does anybody know if rowing cardio translates to running cardio? And what are some other cardio work outs I can do to keep me prepared to pass my fitness test without further injuring myself?

    Thanks Everybody.

    Low Bar VS High Bar for speed

    Posted: 11 Nov 2020 09:30 PM PST

    I am a senior in highschool and I have been lifting for 5 years. I did highbar squat until sophomore year and the best I could get was 205 at the time, while weighing 119. It would always hurt the bone on the neck. I then found about low bar squat, and I mean when people say it should only be like a 10% increase, Id think they are lying. Within a a few months, my squat increased to 300 at 130lbs. Now I squat 345 at 145lbs.

    I play soccer and I do track, my main focus is speed on the pitch. I am starting to get wrist pain from the low bar, I am going to try to adjust my grip and put my thumbs over the bar. I don't know if I should revert back to high bar, as I have read that it is more suitable for athletes. While low bar is more suited for powerlifters. Low bar was far more comfortable, even with the wrist pain in my opinion. I could also just do low bar squat and do high bar squat as an accessory.

    What do you guys think?
