rowers

Its like, you're in a lifeboat and trying to get to shore and 3 rowers short.

Democracy in Athens came about at a time when it was dependent upon its navy and thus its thousands of rowers.

He also invented a mechanism for generating oxygen — necessary for the rowers, of course.

Technically there's no reason why all the rowers in a boat needs to be dressed identically, but it looks more professional.

A coach can advise many rowers without needing to be on hand (or even in the same continent) for all of them.

For talisker, most/all the rowers will have freeze dried food (store bought or self-made).

I have known lightweight rowers who were pretty much unlimited in the number they could do in 1 hit.

Someone rowing the scrollbar thumb (the longer the thumb, the more rowers).

You wouldn't even see construction as the same kind of thing: more of a coordinated work of labor, like aisles of rowers on a trireme.

In a training program for competitive rowers high rep (30+) sets of power cleans at a low weight may be used to build power endurance.

Also, I know that my pure power output was better than some of the international rowers and I didn't even take Creatine.

There are several considerations that a rowing coach must make when deciding the rig of the boat as well as which rowers should occupy each seat.

I looked and it seems like its very bicycle/run aware, and "paddle" is not a term of art for rowers.

Relevant: TIL that while male rowers are classified as "lightweight" or "heavyweight", larger female rowers are called "openweight" instead of "heavyweight".

In my experience, most developers are already capable captains and most of their job is "captaining." One of their main complaints is managers who treat them like rowers.

The first definite occurrence was in 1880, when Exeter College, Oxford rowers took the College-colour ribbons from their straw boaters and wore them as neckties (knotted four-in-hand), and then went on to order a proper set of ties in the same colours, thus creating the first example of a college necktie." Ties are only out until you aren't allowed to wear one.
