Depending on how hard you pedal, or the range of motion you use, your shoulders are probably not the only things that need working on. The general back muscles, lats and pecs are probably synergists, and hence you'll want to consider a routine that trains those as well.

haha. i'm a canoeist. i have trainings 4-5 times a week. One arm rows and suitcase deadlifts, pullovers and military presses come to mind. Anything that replicates the various rowing motions. If you know what swinging is, get an 8kg or 12kg dumbbell and start. Since you're already training four or five times a week, and canoeing is primarily enduranced-based (am I right?), focus on strength during your workouts. As in train heavy, few repetitions, few sets, long rest periods in between. Be as fresh as possible when you train, and never practice until you feel like dropping.

My guess is weights would not benifit u much Training ur technique and endurance is the way to go, i doubt power is any good to u unless ur doing like 100m sprint.

Sad to say, u cannot have the best of both worlds, if u wan strength, uve got to sacrifice endursnce, vice versa ;D eg. u dun see marathon runners do 100m track so canoeing=depends on ur competeing distance, juz like running a marthon and 100m, both are also running

I've asked that question to a friend whose studying Medicine in NUS, and frankly, he has no idea what I'm talking about or whether the concept even exists. "Its probably all in the mind" he said, citing that the CNS has no physiological capacity to get 'tired'.

I don't know about the CNS aspect, but stress in training is a double-edged sword. It can make you do what you've never been able to do before, and it can break you till you don't ever want to do it again.

"Its probably all in the mind" he said, citing that the CNS has no physiological capacity to get 'tired'. Oh yes it does get tired. Every function in the body requires energy. Neurotrasmitters deplete during workouts and replenishment require energy. The CNS (and also PNS) have physiological structures like the rest of the body: nerves, myelin, etc and they also require nourishment like every other cell. Have you heard of "staleness" before? That's one form of CNS fatigue. Once in a while stop all your usual training and do something very unusual, eg: stop weights and do some badminton or swimming. Your body will thank you for it. Read Zatsiorsky's Science and Practice of Strength Training.

Nowadays woman in US and other places are fit and macho. I think they have better figure than us. And they have nice abs too, 4 packs to 8 packs is nothing to them. A lady even have 10 packs. But I can never accept the way Asia pple comment abt their body. To them, only man are allow to have fit figure. What's wrong with ladies having nice and fit figure, they're fit but not big. Sigh....what will this pple wake up their idea and understand that? Or maybe we're born and live in a big but old mind set city?
