Hi Ranger
Which race will be your next? Good luck with it.

Thank You Sheehc, that makes sense.

I feel I'm well connected, so I'll just erg on. Have to get back doing my 30r20 at 110 DF, I believe it is the way for me to get better.

Hi Mikvan, what does Your HR tell you? I guess You measure it?

I think he'll go 6.43 this season. Or faster. But it will take him some races to get there.

I think 6.16 is sort of his poetic idea(l), his second writing in erg-training-thinking-dreaming-aspiring....be the best one can be sort of thing - The perferfect row.

I'm not sure, after all he went 6.41 last year.

Can't figure out the timedifference, has the race taken place?

Interesting reading here. I usually row at 110 DF. Inspired by this thread I tried to do only legs, then back, then arms today to train power application and sequence. I was very surprised. I do use the legs quite correctly (I think), but I just could not do any serious work with them alone. I imagi...

For 600+ pages of 'the same' a lot of people seem quite excited? Could it be, that there is - among some of us - slight uncertainty: Could Ranger be right? I'm thrilled to see the raceresult result, admitted. Same thing last year.. We are short of Cowboys and horses here in Copenhagen, Denmark so I'...

Regarding SPI: for the fun of it I calculated SPI for the 7 fastest rowers in the Danish Open LW championship 10 days ago. Among them are some of the fastest lightweights in the world right now. I had to use average strokerate pr. 500 meters which is not fully accurate but allmost. SPI ranged from 1...

Does Rangers posting do any harm? I think not. Ok, he´s raging, and when he's pulling fast times it's by not doing what hes claiming to do (fx low drag factor). I understand that some people get offended, especially those fast ergers he was/is/will be competing against considering WR but still, atta...

Navigation Hazard, I think you're pointing out very precisely something that is valuable to daily training. In my 30r20 sessions I thought I was only/primaryly increasing peakforce, but reaching my limit (force, not aerobic) at pace 2.05 (I'm a newbie and a weak one, admitted) I had to realise I was...

As an extreme example of your answer You might want to read 'Rangers training thread', :-). As far as I understand rangers quest all his training has one overall aim: to increase his application of power to the handle in every single stroke towards 13 SPI and at the same time adapting his bodys abil...

Good answers. Measuring your heart rate can show you where your optimum is. For me it is 25 spm. for 10 kilomers/60 minutes. And a drag factor of 110. In cycling too, there is great individual variety, which is experienced and measured but can still not not be fully explained by neither physics nor ...
