Eric, thanks for the reassurance. I'm glad I chose not to overcomplicate it ... something I've heard I have a tendency to do.

You're right about the look of the seat. It's pretty slick

Blaze, once you get your C/R or whatever option you choose, let us know how you find it. I was all set on getting the Citius Remex, but my son's puppy visits regularly, and the C/R looked like it might make a fun and expensive chew toy for him. So I purchased the "Perfoarmance Rowing Seat Top" from...

Thanks, guys. I appreciate the feedback, and that link was pretty useful. Blaze, once you get your C/R or whatever option you choose, let us know how you find it. Will do. I went back and forth a bit and then decided to order the Revolution Rowing seat top you linked initially. The site says it wil...

Thanks, guys. I appreciate the feedback, and that link was pretty useful.

For those who use the Citius Remex ... curious if you chose Regular or High and any thoughts on that. Like a few others here, I also started on a Model B and preferred that seat to the one on the Model D. The guidance on Easy Going Rowing recommended choosing High if you're taller than 6'1" or weigh...

Thanks, Eric, for all the info. The seat top from RevolutionRowing caught my eye, probably because of the price. I had considered a couple of other options, but they were both over $100, so I balked. I'm wondering if anyone here has installed this seat top. The product page on their website describe...

Reading this thread got me interested in purchasing a holder, as well. I ran across a couple of options on Etsy that might be worth looking into, under $20. So I don't have experience regarding your original question, but I went ahead and bought one of the pieces I found there, since the reviews wer...

I found this video on YouTube that covers the basic rowing sequence. The individual components are explained thoroughly. Perhaps it will help.

I think you're right to be thinking long-term about the back. It's possible that you're keeping your back straight, but the soreness is just from those muscles being out of condition more than the rest of you. Or, if you're pretty sure that your form is suffering, you might consider dedicating your ...

Wayne, I enjoyed reading your post, and I love the white board idea. What a terrific way to keep the fitness effort on the front burner. Keep up the good work.

Welcome. Perhaps to start, you could just focus on pushing a bit more each workout to build a fitness base. For instance, it sounds like you can probably finish a 2K at 3:00 pace within the next few workouts. From there, you can steadily add 100M per workout. As you continue, your pace will probably...

The issue described is similar to my experience, though your case sounds more severe. After increasing my rowing volume recently, I began to feel discomfort in the tailbone. By going through my motions slowly, I determined that my tailbone was making contact with the seat at layback, in the cutout a...

I suggest taking the part information ( http://www.concept2.com/us/support/manuals/pdf/C_FastenerList.pdf ) to a local hardware store to see if they can supply you with the correct parts. If that fails, it appears C2 sells replacements ( http://www.concept2.com/us/support/manuals/pdf/C_SeatSchematic...

I've decided to order Enter the Kettlebell, based on your recommendations. Thanks for the input, comrades.

That's quite a set-up. I wish I had followed through on converting my vinyl to digital, as you have done. Those LP's finally sat too long in the wrong environment. :( I don't have a picture to share, but what makes my rowing space special is that the room it is in has attracted various items that th...
