Greetings Docs, I noticed that you have released a new template focused on rowing. Excellent! Like many of you, I am also a C2 enjoyer. I have run the endurance template several times, generally in the fall to prepare for ski season, and I’m wondering: besides the increase from 10 weeks to 16 weeks, what differentiates the rowing template from the trusty endurance template?
Clay,
Welcome to the Barbell Medicine forum. Happy to have you 
The Rowing Template is higher volume compared to Endurance 1 for both the conditioning elements (obviously rowing heavy) and resistance training. The rowing template also uses some double progression and has user-guided exercise selection. I think the rowing template a good progression from the endurance template. If you have enough time for training, check it out. You can get the first week free on the website or our app.

That sounds awesome enough to be my new ski season prep template. Could someone jump straight into the rowing template off of something like powerbuilding or general s&c, or would you always recommend running endurance I first?
Yep, no problem running those back to back, as those templates have a decent amount of conditioning and lots of training volume overall.
