Concept2 Forum

why is there always such a big emphasize on pressing on the toes while rowing on the water and erging?

yea... after piecing on the water my hands always feel extra tight as if i have arthritis also, anyone know whats up with that?

Well my back has been bothering me a little bit lately and was considering gooiing to a chiropracter. I am a starboard rower so i am sure my back should be out aligned.
Should i go to one?

Yes i know this is an erging forum but i'm assuming you guys won't get mad because of this question.

Well could anyone tell me what is the purpose of bucket rigging a boat?

Thanks a lot for your help.

This isn't a big race it is just a Manny Flick in Philadelphia. But it is the first place that is actually weighing in the ltwt's this year for my boat at least

but for outdoor highschool rowing it is 150lb

Yes i know this may sound like a joke but i am serious. I hear that if you have sex two nights or the night before a race you would lose testosteron and not be able to pull as hard. Is this true, if so how many days before a race can you do it while keeping the power?

Ok my normal weight is 147lb (after a #2) I am afraid that i will weight over 150 though if i drink 4 bottles of water and eat a lot the night before (i like to eat a lot of pasta night before weight to load up on carbs) should i not drink and eat so much or do you think i should be able to crap and...

Hey bob,
My boat seems to have problems keeping the boat set during that pause drills, it is hard to keep all the oars off when we arent moving for little time; any tricks you could tell me would be great!

So what is the best thing to eat the night before a normal 1500 meter highschool race, and day of. I usually try to drink for bottles of water the night before and eat pasta. Day of i have a bottle of water and a banana with a bagle. Do you think that sounds good? or what should i do? Also i weigh a...

what my coach says makes a lot of sence.

He says that you do not really get that much more power from going that extra inch and hitting your chest... also that you would probally lose more endurance from knocking air out of your chest.

there is the suppliment called NO or something of the sort which i hear helps oxygen get to the rest of the body... is there any negative effects to it and does it actually help with rowing?

I've discovered that pilates is cruel and unusual punishment, however I'll second mumbles, it is a good wourkout, I"m usually shaking like a leaf by the end. (to the extent that people are asking me if I am allright.) ok pilates sounds good on the count of i have no workout stuff... could someone g...

Said it once (elsewhere on this form), I'll say it again. There's nothing on an erg handle that can cause blisters, and there's no rotation of the handle inside the hand like there is in a boat. So if you're getting blisters on a rowing machine, then get help with your technique. But what should i ...

try readjusting your grip some, experriment a little bit and see if you can come up with something that works. By the place on your hands that you have blisters and that you said you try to hook the handle it sounds like you might be allowing the handle to pull on your skin more than you should. Tr...
