Hey everyone. Been a longtime C2 rowing machine owner of the model D, and just got my skierg delivered today. Mounted it to the wall, and noticed a few things compared to rower. When fly wheel is slowing down there is a light scraping noise which I dont hear on rower, but not when im pulling on the ...

Thanks. Hmm. The pain feels like a bruise right at the attachment point. I dont feel it while rowing or walking etc but i can tell it is irritated around there and probably at the beginning of worse stages, hence im going to take it easy. I stretch all the time....maybe too much...I'll checkout thes...

Hi guys, Only 1 week with my model D into and im already out with tendonitis on my right hip flexor tendon. I guess a 30 minute row for meters, and 2 x 500M sprint rows in a week, along with some other rowing sessions, was over-training?? Im angry that this happened but I guess it can only be blamed...

Hi everyone. Im new to rowing, and recently just bought a concept2 model d. I've learned the form as it comes pretty natural to me from all my years of sports and weight training, but the one thing that seems very difficult is racing through the 500M row or even exploding as hard as i can on the dri...
