Dan,

Any luck on the soldering? I am afraid that my fine motor skills are not up to soldering on a PM2 board. Sad, sad.

Hi Dan, I have a PM2 with the same issue: battery corrosion fouled the circuit board. I, like you, would like to get my eyes on a schematic so I could trace and fix the problem(s). I hope that there is a solution out there. If you find any helpful information, please post it here. (I would hate to d...

Thanks, John. I may add some wooden wedges and see how that feels. I am still thinking of making some flexible wood wedges for my shoes. I would make them from wood and fabric -- like a roll-top desk cover-- and such that they fit on the current toe plate to give me a ~41 deg. angle. I'll let you kn...

John Rupp et al., re: the foot board angle discussion: I have always had trouble getting good; and in particular, even; compression at the catch because of a fairly unstable, inoperable, relatively inflexible ankle I broke in college. Interestingly, I, like John I gather, have always been more comfo...

Paul What a cool idea for a diagnostic tool! I've been playing with the idea of mining the C2 ranking data, but I think your idea is better than any I've thought up so far. Do you think that we might apply a growth curve multilevel model to the rankings data in order to build on your idea? Heck, we ...

Personal stuff aside, I do think that John Rupp has a point. The catch-foot-angle of the C2 footstretcher does seem -- subjectively to me if not more reliably measured by John Rupp -- to have increased with the evolution of the C2 footboard/flex-foot and the increased height of the "toe-piece." This...

Xeno! I had to write to you about this and share it with the entire board! Tonight, I did the Xeno Muller Upper Body Workout DVD and had a great workout. No surprises there. However, per your suggestions in my stroke analysis and lactate test two weeks ago, I concentrated on keeping my weight on the...

Dear Will It was a pleasure working with you. Every technical advise I gave you, immediately klicked with you. Thank you for your superb testimonial. Such words help me tremendously to build trust with others who might only read of what I do on the internet. How did your wife like the shirt? Thank ...

John, Thank you for the encouragement and good luck with your coaching session in the UK. I understand about trying to temper one's enthusiasm. I had a lot of doubt about my god-given ability to row better and whether coaching could capitalize on any talent that I might have. In the end I decided to...

HI EDEDIT, I HAVE RESPONDED TO YOUR QUESTIONS IN CAPS BELOW. 1. Have you begun to apply the lessons (technical and physiological) now that you're back home? How have things gone w/o xeno's watchful eye right there? YES, I HAVE STARTED WORKING ON THE THINGS THAT XENO SUGGESTED, THOUGH NOT ALL OF THEM...

Hello All, Back on May 21st I posted a couple of short 1-minute videos of me rowing on the erg and asked for some feedback. The only response I got was from Xeno, which suggests that he is keeping his ear to the ground and is willing to help anyone trying to row better. (Even some goofy statistics p...

Hello Man, I did not know how tall you were. Nice video footage. When I watch you row I would want to tell you to hinge at the hip joint more. You might not be able to use your ankle as much, so getting a bit more forward body angle will be great for your overall stroke length. By using the forward...

Xeno, It occurred to me that our conversation might be better suited to email than the forum, though I had thought others may be interested in how to go about setting up a coaching session with you. Either way ay email address is wschwein(insert "at" symbol)usd.edu. (Hey, it could be worse. My wife,...

Xeno, What would be the best way to schedule a session with you? I am very busy these days, but the weekend of June 3rd and 4th might work. I think it wuold really help me before I go to the Craftsbury Center the week of the 25th (a present from my wife, who is surely among the most understanding of...

Xeno, Thank you for your videos and for your infectious enthusiasm for rowing. While I may not post to the forum very often or express it often enough, I owe you a lot of thanks. The two newest videos are fantastic. Please keep the coming; they really make for a great workout and fit well into a gre...
