On Apr. 27, 2023, recently retired strongman Nick Best<\/a> shared a clip of himself working out on a seated iso-lateral row machine with six 45-pound plates affixed on each side<\/strong>. Best is shown rowing 244.9 kilograms (540 pounds) for eight repetitions. Best is also seen rowing five 45-pound plates per side (totaling 204.1 kilograms\/450 pounds) for 10 reps and four 45-pound plates per side (totaling 163.3 kilograms\/360 pounds), also for 10 reps. <\/p>\n

According to the caption of Best’s post, the row machine routine at this high weight comes on the heels of an early-January 2023 nephrectomy \u2014 surgical removal of either of the kidneys. Best had previously posted on Instagram detailing his necessary kidney removal due to a diagnosis of stage one renal cell carcinoma.<\/p>\n
