Peak human performance.

Rowing requires good cardiovascular health rather than muscle mass. However, strong lats and shoulders will really help you. Remember to always use the rowing machine and set goals on it. I used to row, so if you have any other questions feel free to PM.

Do you recommend some training regiment online?

Other than that, I'm about 6'4''- so my ideal rowing weight should be something like 90-95 KG lean right?

Yes 90-95 should be a perfect weight for you, but check which weight works for you and provides the most energy for your body. I would focus on lats and shoulders, but your split isn’t a big deal, just ensure you row often!

Do you think I'l be able to row competitively at the club level, if I really apply myself? I'm joining a club in Amsterdam.

My aerobic base is already pretty good.

I really want to be part of the first-years competitive rowers, seems like a load of fun.

I'l start bulking heavily to get to 90-95 KG, that's where most olympic heavyweight rowers are at.
