Cheers Late in. Does anyone do a 2000m test and not hit their max HR? At what point (meter) do you go all out? I have been waiting until the last 200m to give it everything left in me. The maximum heart rate couldn´t be reached in every test race! An important factor is motivation, you could reach ...

Do you have roots in Germany Chad? It reminds me at the fairy tales of the Grimm brothers.

"Chapeau" Mr. Adams!

No hate-pure admiration from Germany!

[quote="PaulSYou should be winning everything in your 2x, at least in the Masters world of 1k racing. That is moving very well! :) Unless you are in a 1x, there is going to be some generalism, unless you have worked out the details of asynchronous sculling. :wink: [/quote] Ok no secrets as well: we ...

Some of us use low drags, some of us use high drags. Don´t you think it depends on your muscle structure and character, what is the ideal drag for each rower Paul? Well, if I had to characterize it, I would agree that we could each find a DF that worked the best for us, but since we are adaptable, ...

I would never propose this df to Ralph (Eckhart) because he is so much taller than me (and not so fat).

I take the perforate metal cover off the flywheel! The first days are really hard but you get used to it. You may laugh out or not df 210 feels easy after a few weeks with df 300. But you can not produce low splits, because the air resistance is immense. You have to control your movements during the...

Sorry Thomas to contradict you, but I wll never use df 120. I use around 210 in race, and sometimes 300 for special strength workouts. The last years I can improve my otw times as well, with such system. I never do any additional weight training, because I think the whole muscle slings for the rowin...

Yes the drag was exceptional high. Normally I use position 10, which is 205-210 on new machines, but indeed there was a df >220 at my machine. I had to put down.

:twisted :

For anyone that wants to meet Andreas, just go up and meet him, he's a nice guy, he just looks like he might hurt you. Andreas is a really nice guy, and though he's pretty big, doesn't look all that intimidating. In fact, compared to some of the guys who have been in his category (like John Dixon o...

Has anybody information about the EIRC in Amsterdam? Will the races be in Sportshallen Zuid like 2004? Which Hotel will be the Team Hotel?

Maybe I am too old, maybe I am too stupid, but what the hell happens in this forum. (Indoor) rowing is fun, is lifestyle, is much more than doing a 5:55. Everybody of us should be happy to have the chance to compete. It´s a nice hobby, nothing else. You can´t qualify for the olympic rowing team and ...

Tyn I think that you must have the right resistance, only the monitor gives you wrong information. Maybe the display shows df 76 for df 276.

What is your feeling? Is it like df 76?
