Or, don't actually stop during the rests, just keep slowly turning over the pedals to keep the monitor running. The "easy" intervals will be a little harder than the "rest" periods. As you get more fit, crank up the "easy" intervals, but keep the monitor running during the rests. Learn how to progra...

I don't have the physiological conditions you describe, but I do row strapless a lot of the time. Good for technique. However, the flex feet hurt my heels, so I made my own footplates, sort of duplicating the original Model A and B wooden footplates. If you are handy with saws, drills and such, I'm ...

I'm not on Faceborg (as Citroen says), or other social media, so I have no idea what this change mentioned is all about. Can someone post it here, and the appropriate web manager update the CTC web instructions.

Thanks!

Congratulations to Elizabeth G. for your win (from a very, um, interesting venue ) !! You are a patient, amazingly strong competitor!

Maybe next year we can witness it in person from one fixed venue.

Great job!

I have a model C also. Are there any photos of this. I don't exactly understand what Carl Watts is trying to explain Alan I had the same problem a few years ago, Carl explained it to me then, so I understand it now. I don't have photos but I'll try to clarify the method. Imagine you have a rod with...

cycling would be a good alternative in the early weeks (3-6) - sadly I don't have a bike, maybe need to buy a bike erg! No comment on hernia recovery, but after my second rotator cuff surgery (early November 2022), I DID buy a BikeErg! I lost so much fitness after the first surgery - walking up and...

The vengeance was all Mother Nature's actually, as she not only rained on CRASH-Bs return parade but snowed on it, sleeted on it, and blew up a mighty wind. Sounds like my trip to CRASH-Bs a few years ago. I shoveled my mother-in-law's driveway twice, missed a return flight, but sure had fun at the...

I literally just put my erg back on the slides after a month of static training for the erg race. :D Those PDFs give all the info you need. As far as routine maintenance, I wipe the rollers and tracks with a damp rag occasionally - they do collect dust and stuff same as the erg rail. I also take the...

Congratulations to Rick, Arlene and Greg for National Championship wins!

Have fun in Boston.

I've been training for Ergomania, but also watching all five regattas to judge the level of interest and the potential competition. There seems to be very little interest. So far only one entrant across the 5 regattas in my age/wt category! Even the overall number of entrants is really low. (I see G...

Greg; good luck to you and Arlene, and to Rick in Boston. I won't make it this year, but am training for Ergomania.

Most indoor bikes are very different than riding outdoors. They are stationary and rigid, with no movement with your body, so the stresses on your joints will be very different. As suggested, try different things - seat height, fore-aft seat position, bar position and height. You may find something ...

Merry Christmas! Get some sleep before Santa arrives with your new RowErg. :lol: If that stuck nylock nut is just hand tight, then I would wrap a rag around the axle and grip it with a channel lock plyers just hard enough to get the nut off. If it's too tight and you don't want to risk damaging the ...

I'm in the same boat, as it were. I like to be competitive, but long gone are the days of rigidly training, tracking, evaluating, etc. I keep up a fitness regimen, and a lot of that doesn't involve the erg. I am currently following the C2 interactive training plan for the erg race in February (Secti...

The photos you posted don't look like a CONCEPT 2 model B, but some other counterfeit brand. You'll have to get creative.

I have some doubts about my Model B... I don't have the magnets you tell me and seeing online photos of the flywheel of other model B's it looks different..
