Concept2 Forum

this is a great thread, and I am enjoying it<br />but<br />is there somewhere a Basic Intro to this idea ?<br />or<br />is it really simple : strapless, pull 10 meters per stroke, all stroke rates (focussing twixt 20 - 26, and keeping 18 - 20 for cooldown)<br /><br />I am a beginner, have rowed almo...

thank you, to both Seat5 & PaulS<br /><br />that is a very timely & helpful tip - my force curve improved immediately<br /><br />I row for several things, mostly HR cardio benefits, and I will never be an Elite nor a Champion - 5' 7", ex-smoker, 53 years old, rowing only 16 monthsn - but the pursuit...

can anyone tell me why a young rower (age 15) would get a heart rate monitor? i just dont see the use....... <br /><br /><br />Several reasons suggest themselves<br /><br />For one, if the individual is coaching him/herself, to have feedback on intensity level. Note that an HR monitor is ONE source ...

that (2 k pace + 20 seconds) makes good sense <br /><br />the shortenizations of any craft become bewildering to outsiders, or even out-of-towners<br />

hello ljwagner<br /><br />2k +20 (PROBABLY) means 2,000 meters rowed at 20 strokes per minute, 20 or maybe a touch higher as opposed to lower, so 20 - 22 -ish<br /><br />which would indicate a relatively lesser intensity as opposed to an all-out race effort conducted at 30 - 32 - 34 spm (strokes per...

I am 53, sort of moderately good shape, (NOT a trained athelete) and started rowing 15 months ago. I found the Training Manual from Concept2 UK, and worked toward 2,000 meter races as a focus to get me going. Also I teach basic fitness to older adults, and have some understanding of the importance o...

I tried putting the end of the straps back over & into the buckle<br />Works great<br />At first I drew them tight, which made them a problem to undo<br />but then I tried NOT drawing the loop tight, and that worked fine<br />so, they stay snug, and undo easily

<br />If you would like to send me an image of your LogCard, please feel free and I'll take a look.<br /><br />-- Scott <br />[/quote]<br /><br /><br />oh that's ok, I just thought you might like to hear about the problem<br /><br />also, I wanted to get my historical data so as to get my on-line lo...

well here is my odd story<br />when I first began using my log card in Nov 2004, I noticed one day that the machine at the gym had the date set to Oct 2006, so I reset the date and shrugged.<br />[ NOTE - it is too easy for poken fingen idiots to reset the machine - a password might be a good idea ....

3 - 1st night I had the rower here in my apartment, I was delighting in the smooth quiet swooosh and GLAD that it was almost certainly NOT going to cause trouble with NOISE (old apartment, wife sleeping . . .)<br />except when I got off the seat it would slide to the front and make a small BANG !<br...

my modifications :<br />1 - I cut a piece of plexiglass for a small shelf approximately 16" x 3.25" that fits snugly over the exposed chain, resting on the diagonal post & tucking into the rear of the piece that holds the PM3. I suppose it keeps dust off the chain, but really it is to hold the log c...
