All newer monitors should work on a model C - see above, you'll need the retrofit monitor arm. At $180 for the retrofit kit, when an entire brand new Model D with PM5 is only $900, it is hard to justify buying that kit for my Model C. Seems like I should just wait for it to die someday and then jus...

The PM1 has had its day. They were a reliable monitor. Make sure you reset it as per the instructions printed on the end on the monitor or you get all sorts of strange faults and also use the Silver Oxide SR44 or 357 batteries and not the more common Alkaline A76, that way you get a way better scre...

Build slowly, 1 year you will feel a lot better. Re- PP :roll: :wink: in a year :D now :shock: :shock: Forget about pace for a good few months and build that engine, sand the rust off first, prime it, two coats of undercoat then put on the gloss then enjoy the pain :lol: :wink: I have a lot of rust...

Yes take your time, it sounds like you have weaknesses in the body, first get your body get accustomed to rowing again. You know how it worked 20 years ago. Nothing changed. Pplan is a sharpening short term thing, certainly not needed now. Yes, there are definitely weaknesses in the body!!! That's ...

Twenty years is a long time, have you watched the c2 technique videos to remind yourself how you row. Make sure even check your drag factor. I had a break of 10 years in skiing and although I thought I was doing pretty well I actually had a basic problem that needed work on. I watched a few videos ...

My Model C has a PM1 (I bought it in 1993). Can any of the newer PMs work with my old Model C?

Also, how hard is it to find a PM1? The third digit of my meters readout is missing a few bits on the LCD. Whenever I have a 7 in the third digit, there's nothing there.

Only 4 days back on the erg so far: Day 1: warmup, 500m test piece, 3 x 10 minutes Day 2: warmup, 500m test piece, 4 x 10 minutes Day 3: 3 x 20 minutes Day 4: 2 x 20 minutes (busy work day today, all I had time for this morning) I'm only shooting to keep it under 2:30 during these 10 or 20 minute pi...

Firstly, welcome to the forums, seems spookily quiet on here, presumably something to do with labor day. Thank you! :) One bit of advice is to forget about the more distant past and just concentrate on being better than yesterday, last week or last month. That way you can get the feeling of moving ...

Pete Plan. https://thepeteplan.wordpress.com/the-pete-plan/ Thank you. That is excellent. It is interesting how similar that plan is to what we did in winter training. Wow. Our coach had a real plan and stuff! :P A question: As I noted before I'm also working very hard to lose weight, and I try to ...

You know have trained 20 years ago, you may be less fit, but those basic rules still are valid. Simply adjust your paces. Re 500, I would expect a sub 1.30 from some, if you are a bit larger and are ok ish strong that is pretty doable. So if your 1.48 was already not easy, think you won,t get that ...

Background: I rowed competitively in high school, college (Georgetown University Varisty Lightweights), and for 2 years beyond (before law school & work completely took over). While in law school, I also got aerobic instructor and personal trainer certifications. I have a decent amount of knowledge...
