Yeah, technique has been something I've been reading up on.. What interests me about rowing machines is that rowing is a compound exercise. I'd like to create a full-body workout based on mostly these kinds of movements (including chin-ups, pull-ups, etc.).

I'm looking for general conditioning of course, but more than anything, functional strength.

There are some good crossfit-type circuits out there, with something like Row, squat, pushup, crunch, repeat in different amounts. Those'll beat hell out of you, not something to do every day. If you're looking for conditioning, make sure you integrate other exercises, particularly running. Rowers, kind of famously, can't run at all, so make sure you don't end up like us.
