Hardly. Look again. The people posting here are just a bunch of trolls. There is no motivation for their postings but ill will. Nay-saying is low business. Only scum do it habitually. Being unable themselves, they make a life doubting the abilities of others. ranger Ability to do what? What we doub...

in general the folks here are pretty complimentary about what you do. Hardly. Look again. The people posting here are just a bunch of trolls. There is no motivation for their postings but ill will. Nay-saying is low business. Only scum do it habitually. Being unable themselves, they make a life dou...

Is it safe to say that Ranger still hasn't done anything he said he would in the few weeks since I last checked in?

Safe to also say that his stroke is immaculate and he's right on target given cryptic metrics that predict randomly amazing times?

Been gone from the forum for a while. Has ranger done anything measurable since the 6:41?

Speaking as a novice, I've found working strapless forces me to make sure I initiate the recovery with my hands and not bend my knees until my hands passed them. Because doing so causes the chain to pull your body forward. Try rowing strapless if you don't make a point of doing this and you'll get m...

There was a little indoor race day here in Durham today. Entered the 2K, 1K, and 500m. PR'd in the 2K (6:52) and 1K (could have sworn it was 3:12 but when I checked to official record later on, they had 3:13.6 both of which are PRs, so I'm cool with it). My 500m heat was literally 20 minutes after t...

My goals are indeed gone from my signature. Now, in their place, we will have just results. ranger Yes 7.11 dns dns 6.41 dns 6.50 dnf dns put that in your sig then. As I saw this post again, I was struck by a realization that one of ranger's favorite words is a fine summation of those results: " Un...

The assumption you all are making is that, if you can only row 6:30, to row 6:16, you first have to row 6:28, then 6:26, then 6:24, then 6:22, then 6:20, then 6:18, etc. Nope. If you change your technique and work up an entirely different set of motions, levers, timings, sequencings, etc., slowly a...

As for the record. You didn't answer my question. Why, if you rowed faster than the guy who now holds the WR, the very year he broke it, are you not the WR holder Yes, I answered the question. I haven't been training to row 6:37 or faster. I have already rowed under 6:37 15 times. I have been train...

No, I do not think you can pull a 6:28. Just the attitude I have been noting. There is no support for your claim here at all. It is just ill will. Nay-saying, just for the sake of nay-saying. ranger I am not the one making the claim. You are making the claim, giving little besides cyclical and base...

Have you broken the WR for your current age and weight? In 2006, when Rocket Roy set the 55s lwt WR at 6:38, I pulled 6:29.7, without even sharpening for it, in fact, without even doing hard distance/UT1 rowing, just on the basis of foundational training. I am a year or so older than Roy. ranger Th...

What you are doing is claiming miracles No, not miracles at all. The claim is that I might be able to get a dozen seconds better on the erg in a 2K by learning how to row well. I don't think that this is an unreasonable claim at all. I pulled a lightweight 6:28 without knowing how to row. The claim...

In the event that you roll your 6:16, then allow me to be the first to offer you a hearty congratulations. From a social and personal perspective, it's a little late then, don't you think, given what has been said in such high tones for so long? After the fact support, after wildly abusive dismissa...

The fact that you've pulled the fastest 2K recorded on the website among guys your age this year does not prove any of us "nay-sayers" wrong True. But it also has had no effect on your understanding of my project or sympathy with it. That's the point. I am just done with my UT training, but I just ...

Someone who gave the board just a little credit for not being gullible dipshits and didn't insist that they were going to not only break, but totally obliterate records before they even broke them to begin with, we'd be cheering them on the whole time. Hey, there's an idea. Say you're going to brea...
