I rowed lightweight in college and my junior year was when C2 introduced the Model C (or, at least when it made its way to our boathouse). In the winter, we used to use the "heavy" setting on the Model B every Friday for an 18/20/22/24 (4/3/2/1) 30' ladder followed by a 24/26/28/30 (4/3/2/1) 30' lad...

Mark: Perhaps there could be other variales at work than just not using your hrm. I've had a few operations on my my bkie this year because of a non-rowing injury. The operations helped some, but I still have pain my back, glutes, hamstring and sole of my foot. I've tried everything possible to redu...

Georgetown lightweights in the early-mid-90s had a few sub 6:30s (around 6:25-6:29) and a few in the low to mid 6:30s in the first 8; there was also a 5:57 (he went on to row in the Olympics). The 2v had guys from 6:31 to 7:05. The 3v were a bit higher. <br /><br />-Jamie

Today was 12k with negative splits. Then pushups, sit-ups, pullups.<br /><br />Best of luck to all of our friends in the BIRC. Rowing is unique in that there rarely a "fun" time as is there is in most games. It's also unusual in that you row a million meters or so for every actual race. It's differe...

Today: I tried a "Wolverine" L4 176 & 180 for 40.'<br /><br />I did (at most!) 2-3 pieces at 16spm in my entire college and law school career. Yikes! That was brutal. I was going to quit, but then I thought, "well, if Hennie can do 10x2k the night before BIRC, then I guess I can finish my 40 minute ...

Dougie: I've gone back and looked at a bunch of your posts: You're in phenomenal shape. I've been rowing lightweight for about 15 or 16 years and can say with confidence that you will do great at IRC. <br /><br />The big difference between lightweight and openweight rowing is the speed of the catch....

4 x 1500 (splits were around 1:47 for the first three; around 1:45 for the fourth)<br />strength training.<br /><br />When is the BIRC?

Today for cardio: 5x5 minutes (3 with damper set at 10; 2 with damper set at 4.5); then 10x 30 sec on/30 sec off damper at 10).<br />Today for strength: 250 push-ups, 5 sets 5-8 reps of one-legged squats (with no weight), 5 sets of six reps of one-legged stiff-leg dead lifts (with 45lb dumbbell held...

Hi. I'm just getting back into rowing and this has been my first week on the erg since college and law school. Yesterday I did 4x15 and tried to keep my average split around 1:56.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to getting back in the rowing community and having you inspire me to get off my butt and,...
