When David Corenswet was cast as the new Superman, he had just five months to pack on 40 pounds of muscle - and he did it with old-school consistency and a push-pull-legs routine that emphasized the basics.
Under trainer Paolo Mascitti’s guidance, Corenswet trained two hours a day, six days a week, while eating 6,000 calories daily to fuel intense workouts and recovery.
His transformation involved compound lifts, supersets, and a mindset grounded in discipline—with just enough cereal indulgence to stay human.

What's Your 1000M Rowing Time? Most People Have No Idea Where They Stand. See How You Compare And Discover Proven Ways To Improve
The 1000-meter row isn’t just a CrossFit staple — it’s a powerful benchmark for fitness across all levels.

It’s a sprint-style distance that challenges endurance and technique, and even serves as a predictor for longer row times.
Whether you're rowing for the first time or aiming for a personal best, understanding where you stand helps set realistic goals and track progress effectively.
Small tweaks in form, pacing, and split strategy can make a big difference — especially over just 1000 meters.
