To the cox asking about weight, I doubt your coach will make you stop coxing. Weighing coxes may be to determine which weight category they're best suited to and with your weight you may be place with a heavyweight boat. Don't stress out over the weight loss, in the grand scheme of things weight does not add much time (especially not at the college level) it's more important you're happy and healthy, happy coxes are effective coxes
truuuuuu

(cox that asked the last question) I go to an all-female school, so men's isn't really an option for me. I do think I'm better than the other novice coxswain, and our novice coach always puts me in the 'A' boat over the other cox, so there's that. I'm somewhat of an athletic-build, since I played soccer for 13 years. I'm trying to figure out ways to loose weight without gaining muscle. I know you're not a cox, but any suggestions would be awesome! c:
well when i was trying to lose weight i tried to do extra cardio like running or even just walking instead of driving somewhere, plus i snacked a lot lessand i think if he's putting you in the A boat now you're probably all set. he probably has a good idea of what you weigh now just by looking at you, even if he hasnt actually weighed you
This is my first year with crew (I'm a freshman in college), and due to too many past injuries I'm unable to row, so I'm a coxswain instead. I'm 5'4" and about 125-130 pounds, which I think is too heavy to be one. I've heard that in the spring season the head coach weighs all of the coxs, and I'm afraid he'll make me stop coxing if he realizes how much I weigh. How much weight would you recommend that I loose that is still healthy in comparison to my height to cox?
well since i dont know how you're built etc i can really recommend losing weight. you might also want to consider coxing for men as their coxswains are usually heavier. it also depends on how good you are as a coxswain like if you are way better than the next best coxswain the extra weight might cancel out by your kick ass coxing skillzalso quick disclaimer im not a coxswain and know nothing about the ~coxing world~ so this might all be wrong sorrryyyyyyy
im 5'6 and 130 pounds, is that good for rowing?
yup! you're a little on the short side, but not toooo short. you're also a little light but im sure you would gain weight by building muscle!Â
Question, I'm 5'7 and 112 pounds and I was wondering if that's too big to cox? My coaches have had me coxing and rowing lightweight all season and I'm quite good at coxing and I think I want to pursue it full time. Is it realistic to try to cox at college at my size?
while i dont know much about coxing, i would say that seems fine! the important thing is that you're light and as long as sitting in the coxswain seat isnt uncomfortable due to your height and you like it, i say go for it!

what seat are you? do you prefer rowing in an 8 or a 4? do you scull, sweep, or do both? port, starboard, or both?
im usually stroke seat, i prefer port, i only really know how to sweep, and i like both 8s and 4s. 8s are faster, which is a lot of fun but i think its nice having fewer rowers because you really bond
I have my first regatta this Saturday (I'm the one in Spain) and I'm so nervous because in addition to the language barrier I've only been rowing since March and have no idea about anything :s
oh no!! just try to have fun and enjoy the feeling and not think about the language stuff!! have fun and good luuuuuck!!!!!!!!!!
I just finished my first rowing season and I have to say I'm a bit sad. Having free time is not something I like, what do you do on the off season?
i have the same problem at the end of the season! usually i spend my free time snacking...which is not really advised haha but you could hang out with friends and go to the movies and go out to eat and nap and go to the beach and watch netflix and listen to new bands and bake a cake and go on runs!
Right, so I'm never going to be a lightweight then. I get stressed seeing 5'11" females that weigh like 135 pounds. I'm like 5'6" and I'm heavier! Hoping it's muscle haha.
oh don't worry about it! i'm only 5'4" and making weight is a challenge haha it all depends on your build  ya knowwww
So what are the actual weight requirements?
for lightweight you need to weigh under 130 lbs and i'm not sure if there's a specific heavyweight category, sorry (also that is the weight for girls, it's different for guys)

Oh good that's a relief. Half of my quad are small and light. The other two have more muscle, pull better erg times and are heavier. It's weird.
oh yeah don't worry i've rowed with girls who weigh 110 lbs and girls who weigh 170 lbs so there's a good deal of variety (at least on my team)

Hey. I don't really know much about the lightweight and heavyweight categories in rowing. I think I am over weight but I row 4 times a week. I'm quite fit. My eating habits are not great but I don't think I eat more then I need when I've got training. I'm afraid that I'm going to be the heaviest in the boat. I'm a girl and I weigh like 10 stone 10 pounds. Is that really bad?
No that's not bad! obviously it depends on whether or not that weight is mostly muscle or fat but a lot of the girls on my team weigh around there :)
To the lightweight trying to gain weight. As an undergrad in sport and exercise science, and a lightweight rower, the anon's answer (although trying to be helpful) was factually incorrect and will only cause you to gain "unhelpful" weight. i.e. fat rather than muscle. (to be continued)
Weight lifting can be carried out by younger people AS LONG AS TECHNIQUE IS CORRECT AND PROPER SUPERVISION IS PROVIDED FOR YOUNGER PEOPLE (I.E. UNDER 18). In fact, it can actually help growth. The only way it will stunt growth is if poor planning and technique is implemented, causing epiphyseal (growth) plates to close too early in development, thus stunting growth. Studies have proved it, if you would like to read the lit, I would suggest pubmed, all legit studies ends up on this site. As for nutrition, you will need to eat more carbs than "normal" however if this is not supplemented with exercise, it will simply convert to glycogen and be stored as fat. As a lightweight rower you can see why this would be unhelpful, as it's just unnecessary weight in the boat that's not going to help, so by just increasing carbs you're not doing yourself many favours. A balanced diet is necessary, however without the training to compliment it, there's not much point. Hope this helps! xx OH ONE LAST POINT.... contrary to the anon, girls finish development before boys, both physically and psychologically. It's all in the literature. Even more reason to lift! (again I stress with supervision, knowledge and good technique....)
thanks so much for this!!
Hi there, I was just wondering if you know any good songs to erg to? I am in desperate need of some better songs than my coach's awful taste in music -_-
well this is my erg playlist except i dont usually listen to music when i erg so idk if any of it's good hahah but a little while ago people sent in songs they liked to listen to so there are some asks somewhere on here that have good songs too!!

For the lightweight trying to gain weight: I strongly suggest you don't start lifting, especially if you are female ( girls aren't completely finished growing until 20ish, boys 17) because it can stunt yo ur growth. Try eating lots of carbs like pasta and breads! If you don't gain t he weight you want, don't worry about it! Depending on how much you workout, it could be really hard too put weight on in a few weeks. Try and just eat lots of healthy foods like fruits, and almonds!
oooh very good to know, thank you!
Hi, so I'm a lightweight rower, and I'm seeing all these questions on making lightweight, but mine is just the opposite(well not exactly). I'm 5'3, and 112 lbs. For my height, I'm exceptionally healthy, and for my size, I'd say I'm strong enough(it definitely wasn't my strength that got me to the Charles). But anyways, I'm really struggling to gain at least 5 lbs, so far I've gained two, I want to get to 115(at least) by regionals(3 weeks). Any advice?
oooh i've always had the opposite problem!! lol but to gain weight i would say do a lot of lifting like try to build muscle and then eat lots of protein! i know peanut butter's good for gaining weight and probably eat a lot of meat but i'm not really sure what else....like obviously don't just eat 30 cupcakes because that won't do you any good so yeah maybe google tips for building muscle? i have literally 0 experience in this so sorry i'm not much help!!!
