Re: Wanted PM3...Australia

Just replaced the PM3 with the PM5

The original PM3 is from 2004 and still working. Replaced it for better connection via wireless to the phone.

Serial 200017623

Re: Overuse Injuries

STC, you are an individual, with your own set of physical attributes. No one would have problems accepting that the C2 Erg is not for you, and your overuse of it caused you tendinitis and overuse injuries. No problems with that at all, but that's YOU. Your doctors confirmed that you used the erg to ...

Re: Overuse Injuries

Another update in early October - I think I'm finally on the road to recovery, and the stationary bike is getting me there. My doctor said my overuse injury was from repetitive stress on the rowing machine, putting strain on unequally developed muscles from my old ski accident. What are you doing t...

If you guys bought a new car with scratches and blemishes on it would you ask for it to rectified or accept it as it doesn't impact the functionality. If you pay a lot of money for a product you should expect it to be pristine when it comes out of the box! A car with a scratched door? An Ipod with ...

Hi. I have been rowing a couple of years using similar motivation to your own. I'm about to push through 3 million metres, and I couldn't be happier with the machine or it's results. I have my weight under control, and I'm fitter and healthier than I have been since high school. I use a HR meter eve...

I too am having problems seeing the relevance of a few surface blemishes on a new C2. Of course, you are well within your rights to ask for a better example of the machine, but I have yet to hear a reference to any of these blemishes having an impact on the functional performance of the machine. The...

I've rowed in athletic tights since I started a couple of years ago now, but have become bothered by occasional snags 'down there' While rowing, it's hard to tell if it's a hair or fold of skin that catches, but it gets annoying... I've added a jockstrap to the lineup. No problems so far, but haven'...

I guess it's possible, but having had Rotator Cuff injury, I can tell you that it did not get properly resolved until I took up rowing. Mine was in the left shoulder, and lifting the arm to shoulder height was excruciatingly painful. Above shoulder height was out of the question. Any sudden movement...
