[R] Matrix manipulation - dropping rows based on a query

I have a matrix with some very funky data. I want to drop the columns
with a mean > 1 (for instance).
#Example:
my.mat <- matrix(rnorm(100, 0, 3), nrow = 10)

#I know I can get the row means:
apply(my.mat,1, mean)

I think I need to get a vector that has those rows > 1

my.mat[-rows>1,]

The actual querry is much more complicated but this gives an approximation.

Thanks.
