Yes of course you could artificially inflate your time by changing the damper setting during a piece. There are many other ways too:<br /><br />Lift the front of the erg slightly so that gravity aids your drive;<br />Row a 30r20 piece in 614 strokes rather than 600;<br />etc<br /><br />The problem i...

I've entered Ergomania in Seattle on 28th January, men's open hwt (19-29) race. Who else will be there?<br /><br />I won't have the best prep for the race, so don't expect to be all that fast. I'm off out to Phoenix on Tuesday 17th for a week of work (testing parachutes in the desert), then up to Se...

PaulS,<br /><br />I don't think a restricted rate piece (where the restriction is as low as 20 anyway) can ever compare to the feeling of a free rate piece like a 2k. The lactic acid levels are much lower, and you've got one less variable (stroke rate) to worry about.<br /><br />If you do it as fast...

Depends what you call "better off" about being a lwt. I'm with Roland, I very rarely go to a competition and get beaten by someone shorter or lighter than me, if ever. (I can only remember once when someone the same weight as me beat me in a race, and that was Roland in an online 2k .)<br /><br />So...

Your arms certainly don't want to go between your legs on the erg. Best is to have your ankles and knees stay in line throughout the stroke.

Am I right in remembering you got married in Vegas Phil? Wife number 4 that one, wasn't it?

The Crash B's, due to the name, should stay in Boston each year, but the World Indoor Rowing Championships should move around different states each year I think, to make it a more interesting trip.<br /><br />I'd like to see them in:<br />Seattle, Orlando, New York, Washington DC, LA or SF, ....

Hi Ray,<br /><br />I wouldn't worry about getting to max HR on the intervals, that's really not necessary. All you want to look for on these speed intervals is a continual improvement each time, even if by only 0.1 on the average pace. As long as you get that (and you should only doing each session ...

Without going into too much detail, just a quick post on the "Pete Plan" hopefully to answer some of the questions on the first page of this thread.<br /><br />If you've read the full thread on the "Pete plan" on the UK forum, you'll know that the plan only came about because I happened to post, in ...
