Well I am truly that rare individual - nearly perfectly average. Did a step test today to determine my maximum heart rate. The discredited formula says it should be 165 while others are near there. The maximum I reached today was 164 and I had to let off a bit the last 30 sec due to my dodgy wrist, ...

Thanks for your responses! My plan then is to work on keeping my heels planted for now in order to stop over-compressing, and lower the feet a notch. Glen I think I did raise that a while back, thanks for the reminder. After getting that sorted a bit I will focus on the hip swing, and work to separa...

I tend to not mix my workouts up much so I don't have much to add other than thanks for choosing our products- but I wanted to tell you that we have started an in-house 1-2-3 triathlon challenge for "fun". 1K on the SkiErg, 2K on the rower and 3K on the Bike.....running time including transitions.....

I was forced to drastically cut back on rowing due to wrist pain for the last several weeks. I have decided as I return it would be a good time to step back and work on my form and technique before I worry about times . Please take a look and let me know what needs corrected. I appreciate any input ...

I have had my model E for about 8 months. Today the wife and I ordered both a bikeerg (for her) and a skierg for both of us. I am excited, but don't know how to mix it into my routine which is currently 3 days lifting and 3 days rowing each week,with a dynamic stretching day on Sunday. To those who ...

Perhaps sidewinder could provide a patent number or link to the patent application? I would be interested in reviewing it.

Last week I did row twice a day and noticed the effect by the end of the week. I have been doing circuit training in the am and rowing in the afternoon for 6 months.Last week I was doing a 10000M SS in the morning then the Beginner Pete Plan week 21 in the afternoon. By the end of the week I was fee...

Great job everyone! I agree with barrec re. jans and nhopkins - you guys are working hard. Completed week 21 of the BPP last week. I have an injured foot so instead of circuit training in the am I did a 10K strapless SS each morning, then the BPP workout in the afternoon. It was not a particularly g...

@nhopkins - as the others have said - you are doing well and are making progress. As long as you continue to work consistently the progress will continue. I have found myself getting a bit discouraged at what seems slow progress but when I look at my logs I see a PB somewhere every week or so. Not e...

@nhopkins - welcome aboard! Looks like you are off to a good start - the important thing for now is to just keep showing up. That doesn't mean everyday though; at least one day a week for recovery is as important as anything to keep you going. marius, barrec, Tom - you guys just bow me away when I s...

Hello again everyone. I have been following along but took a detour from the BPP so I wasn't posting. Everyone seems to be making great progress, it is cool to see. I had a couple of weeks of family stuff and doing more LSS sessions. I had a goal to hit 1M meters before my birthday so I focused on t...

@Tom - Wow, some really impressive sessions during a busy week. That 6000M is really impressive. @derico - Good job on the 10min intervals. You are really making progress lately. And the 4x2000 - I am impressed. @barrec - great job on the 10k - is that a PB then? @jans - welcome aboard. Don't worry ...

Congratulations Gammmmo!

@Tom - nice pyramid! Looking at that I would think you would nail the sub 7. Great speed. @Derico - nice sessions. That 30 min at 18spm is pretty nice power real close to the 10W that james and others talk about, and strapless. 4/8/17 BPP 17.5 4x8 min / 2'r - I tried to keep these sub 2:00, but the ...
