hey guys, my coach made my crew do a HR test.

It was 6 * 4 min ergoes, slowly increasing the power (proportional to your 2k pb).

The max heart rate i could reach was 179. is this good?

it means that your not pushing hard enough with the legs..lower your spm, and really concentrate on 'psuhing' with your legs. Get the idea that rowing...is about 70% legs, 30% arms.

If you cininue pulling hard with your upper body, u'll endup with really sore forearms.

now im confused..do supplements help rowing??????

im in the same boat as you..im looking for a better way to improve my rowing. I've done a bit of research and MUSASHI, an australian brand, looks to be ok. Where abouts do you live?

thanks

hey, i dont have an ergo and was wondering what exercises i could do. i have wieghts but thats about it.

cheers
