Fencing vs Rowing

Rowing will build more muscles. But do what interests you the most, otherwise it's unlikely that you will stick with it.

I was a rower for 9 years through high school and college. I can tell you first hand it’s a great sport for building bonds with your crew and developing your body. You’ll fuck up your hands but it’s totally worth it

As far as SMV, rowing as a sport started with the elite class. It’s still seen as a pretty ritzy sport due to cost of equipment and that the best teams are typically New England private colleges like Yale, Harvard, etc. You can make great connections with some powerful people. One of my coaches in college was a lawyer in Delaware and he helped me a lot with sponsorship opportunities and recommendations outside of school.

Besides the social aspects, it’s very physically challenging. If you want to be the best you’re going to have to push yourself harder than ever before. I remember blacking out during winter training a few times and after my nationals event I had fractured a rib from pulling the oar too hard into my chest. It’s a great time all around

Whatever interests you more. Fencing for coordination, rowing for pull stength. But pull strength you can get in the gym where you should be going anyway.

The Winklevoss twins were Olympic rowers, Mark Zuckerberg was the fencing captain in high school.
