Part 1A: 135, 145, 155, 155, 165, 165

Part 1B: I used a pair of 20kg kettlebells. Got 3 rounds with 9 split squats per leg & 15 GHRs each round.

Part 2, ~ hours later
142, 143, 142, 144m rows
During the 10-minute rest, all the rowers got filled up (at the ARC), so I biked home and ran half a tabata around my apartment complex.

The row sprints didn't feel all that hard... shorter rests or longer sprints would have felt "better".

Part 1A: 115, 120, 125, 130, 135, 140
Then I did some glute ham raises...killer!

May or may not get to the gym for rowing later....law school is getting in the way of my priorities!!

Sore already? Or mostly tired?

Anyhoo...

Isometric stress can be a factor, but it's more likely you're crushing the bar with your grip and also driving up against it with your arms vs using them as supports.

So -- how should your hands be? Well, thumbs over the bar and wrists completely straight is generally recommended. The straight wrists contribute to the "no drive with the hands / arms" .

155,155,165,165,175,175

rowing: 30 sec on/30 sec off for 5 rounds- rowed 684 m

managed to give Alex a hard time- that's part of the workout as well

My arms are pretty sore too, but I figured it was from the rowing. I was crushing the bar pretty good though. I always feel like I need a lot of arm to stabilize the bar on my back.
