What methods do you use to accurately measure UT2 for C2 RowErg, using heart rate? Can the PM be used in any way to accurately gauge / show UT1 and UT2 levels during a RowErg workout? The easy one: A few mornings in a row, right after waking up, or after taking care of whatever "has" to be done the...

Hi, I rowed a great deal in the season before last. I think I improved my technique most by rowing with minimal drag. With minimal drag, I found myself with a better force curve and a really improved leg drive. When the muscle memory gets stored you can then transfer it to higher drags. When I star...

The move to verified only results is coming in the next year or so, its taken forever. If you want a leader board with verified only results its finally going to be an option.

Great news!

Many thanks Ombrax. I shall try this and let you know how I go...

Ombrax - I was able to locate the row details in the PM3 - thank you.

Many thanks Ombrax. I shall try this and let you know how I go...

I visited the Gym yesterday and tried to write down the details of my previous workouts recorded by the PM3.

I tried all the menu buttons but could not dive into these workouts to extract SPM, time, etc....

How do I access these details from these previous row events from the PM3?

"I would not focus so much on a PB each 10km as it can be counter productive to progression. As others have said, doing more endurance workouts in the UT2 effort level and just focus on staying in this effort band for extended periods of time (30min +). The workouts will almost feel "too easy" but p...

Thanks for replies. Very helpful.

Also wondering if bench pressing lightish weights at higher reps prior to performing RowErg Workouts would be beneficial in helping to prime the body and increase blood flow?


Romper

Thanks for all those replies.

I will check out the PM3 later today and confirm / communicate the correct SPM, I apologize for communicating the incorrect SPM.

I am aiming for PB's every time I row these 10km workouts, even if it is just by a few secs each time.

Hello all. I am currently averaging 42 mins for 10,000m set workouts at around 25 SPM and 2.02 min/500m split with fan setting set at around 5.5. I want to reduce my total time of these workouts without comprising technique too much. What are your tips and recommendations to have this total time red...

Hello all.

Is it better to have an elevated heart rate before commencing a RowErg Workout to obtain the most out of this workout?

If so, how long should the heart rate be elevated for?

And, what % of MaxHR should this sustained HR be?



Romper

Good stuff Ombrax! Thanks mate.

Romper

OK thank you Ombrax. I apologize if I have missed something there but.... This verification code system seems to work only with electronic transfers from the PM units? What about manual entries (eg. from scribbled down inputs from PM3 on paper and then physically type these same inputs into the C2 o...

@Carl Watts

How do you maintain solid consistent contact of feet / shoes during and end of the stroke?


Romper

Thanks Ombrax. I find it interesting that the C2 online register allows for manual entry, allowing anyone to enter any information - even super human efforts can be logged but not even attempted. Over the years, I have read numerous cheating related posts within the ZWIFT (online bike training) envi...
