A Quote by Stefan Kieszling
The ergometer simulates the physical demands of rowing, packaging the pains with none of the amenities that make it worthwhile.

I climbed on the rowing ergometer, and started to pull - losing myself in the rhythm of sweat and pain.
If rowing is a trial then the ergometer is the courtroom, the meter is the jury. And an honest jury at that, because the numbers do not lie.
One training device is the ergometer. I never owned one, never trained on one, and practically never used one. The few national team tests I took on ergs were dismal failures, which worked wonders to further my dislike of these beastly creatures. Boring. Tedious. Noisy. Ergs have greatly cheapened rowing. Graceless. Greasy. Grim. The erg is to rowing what having sex by yourself is to having sex. Stop it!
Obedience simulates subordination as fear of the police simulates honesty.
Ocean rowing is very much what you make it. Rowing technique is pretty irrelevant on the ocean. It's the psychology that's important.
Our mothers are racked with the pains of our physical birth; we ourselves suffer the longer pains of our spiritual growth.
The only thing that gets me through any type of pain, emotional or physical, is to make it worthwhile by putting it into my work.
To make the future demands courage. It demands work. But it also demands faith.
For a thorough understanding of rowing, for the what, the how and the why, the books making up Peter Mallory’s The Sport of Rowing certainly do it all.
As I stood in the booth chatting to people, it occurred to me that besides good racing, the Crew Classic provided an ideal setting for the brotherhood of rowing. The brotherhood connects real rowing people. Teammates who haven't visited in years came together, and so do former opponents who once battled like mortal enemies. Suddenly they discovered they have much more in common. Long live the brotherhood of rowing.
A lot of time, my inspiration comes from pain: growing pains, hunger pains, or money pains.
Now, in my middle age,
about nineteen in the head I'd say,
I am rowing, I am rowing.
The only life that is happy is the life that can renounce the amenities of the world. To it the amenities of the world are so many graces of fate.
Life is like a movie, if you've sat through more than half of it and it’s sucked every second so far, it probably isn't going to get great right at the end and make it all worthwhile. None should blame you for walking out early.
None but the guilty know the withering pains of repentance.
More and more products are coming out in fiercely protective packaging designed to prevent consumers from consuming them. These days you have to open almost every consumer item by gnawing on the packaging.
