You horrible fraud. So doing your daily warmup is racing? Interesting. According to you, your daily warmup is going to be a 17:00 5k. Anybody else on the planet would reply with "You're on". They would then walk downstairs, turn on the camera, pull the 17:30, turn off the camera, upload it to YouTub...

I bet you $500 you can't post one in the next seven days (with HR data of course). You mean you'll just give me $500 if I pull a 17:30 5K? Wow. Really? Not exactly. It's a bet. Post a <= 17:30 IND_V 5K in the next seven days (with HR data) and you win $500. If you don't do it, you pay me $500. Simp...

Congrats to all with new PB's, it's a great feeling!

Paul's VO2max calculator tells me a 95kg athlete pulling 6:30 has a VO2 of 57.9. A 90kg athlete with the same time has VO2 of 61.1. 5.5% better for the lighter athlete. Working backward, if a 95 kg athlete lost 5 kg bodyfat without sacrificing any power, he should be able to pull the equivalent of a...

Our favorite hero likes to claim that fat has no affect (or is that effect?) on erg performance...it just hangs there in his words. For the exercise physiology experts out there (this does not include aforementioned hero)...is this true? Everybody seems to agree that an athlete's VO2max is directly ...

So how close were you to the FM trial back when you took the profile picture of you standing next to the truck? You know, the one where a creepy 55 year old man is standing shirtless, flexing his entire body so hard that it looks like he's about to shit his pants? You should bring that one back, may...

My previous question was buried immediately by ranger and his thrilling 5000th post about how good he is now versus 8 years ago. I'll post it again: When you say you are very near a FM trial, any chance you could put some timelines on that? You've been saying "very soon" for over 5 years to the same...

Interesting what you do not see on the list in ranger's last post..... the name Richard Cureton :? :P B) That could change--_real_ soon. ranger Yes, it could. If R. Cureton actually ranked pieces instead of spending 12 hours a day trolling this thread. R. Cureton isn't an erg champion anymore, he i...

And the 60's 2k erg record is one for the ages? The sporting world probably considers it up there with the homerun record. You belittle the 80's record, yet there are probably three additional people on the planet that give a shit about the 60's record that you place on such a lofty pedastal. And re...

Ranger is one of the most disgusting and pathetic characters I've ever had the displeasure of running across. That said, he has every right to come on here and lie about his life. You and I have every equal right to follow his posts or ignore them and not click on his thread. Don't like it? Ignore i...

And yet, the odds are in my favor that I will do it long before you do. I'd even bet you on that, but looking at your historical ability to own up to a debt, I don't think I'd ever see the money. Do what? Row 50 seconds off the 2K WR for your age and weight, like you're trying to do? Yikes. For me,...

I am _much_ better than that now. I now row well (13 SPI) at low drag (108 df.). ranger Yes, we've heard that several thousand times. Over 9000 and counting to be exact. It would be interesting to have one screenshot of 2+ strokes mixed in every 10,000 posts or so. Didn't you promise a video this m...

And my target is to bang Angelina Jolie then go out drinking with Brad Pitt and his hollywood buddies. There is a far greater chance of me hitting my target tonight than you ever achieving yours.

I particularly like the part where he uses his wife as an excuse for not paying the bet. So you're telling us that you are worth $1 million+, have been happily married for 35 years, and your marriage will be over if she finds out you lost $1000 bet? Give me a break, not buying it. If this is true yo...

Thanks to Byron stirring up Ranger's credibility and forcing him to higher on his pulpit of pomp we have spun the ranger-go-round beyond bounds. It is not possible to summarize. I will not even try. You know what my favorite part of this thread is? The fact that he is 100% incapable of not respondi...
