Concept2 Forum

This is a real newbie question on HR training. I bought a HR receiver for my concept 2 model D (already have a transmitter) and have been getting more and more curious on HR training. What exactly is the point of HR training? I assume it is to gauge your output on the erg based on what is going on w...

gotcha, thanks

Hey,
This is a question directed at one of the c2 guys here on the forum. I know you shouldn't store the model D upright with the monorail attached because its bad for the erg, but what exactly does it hurt on the erg? The only thing I could think of is warping the fan cage. Thanks.

For 5 bucks you can make one, and save the other 145.

There it is! haha. Now all you need to do is post instructions for the assembly and construction for one of these, and I'm good.

Well I understand that a swiveling seat would be good for scullers' technique and balance, but what about sweep rowing. Obviously, you have to rotate a little weight out to the sides, so I'm not sure if this will help me or not. If it does, maybe only with setting up the boat at the finish.

Hmm a former olympic gold medalist is reduced to a grunting dance instructor in a home-made 3 minute video. What a sad world we live in... Just kidding Xeno, I loved it!

PaulS,
Someone posted a movie of Xeno testing out this seat and it definitely looks great! Maybe i should start saving up soon. If anyone can repost that link, that'd be cool. (I think it was Xeno himself)

Well there is still only one picture, more would be better

more pictures of the product would be nice

It really depends on who you are. For example: I used to hold a steady pace throughout the whole test and then i tried to go out fast and slowly let the split creep up and I found out I go faster that way. Other rowers I know do just the opposite. You're going to have to use trial and error for this...

This is a great topic, keep posting those videos. I love to get a little laugh out of these people.
