Nice thread going here. I'll try to help a little. Being only 5'8, I was never considered "ment for rowing". I was always more of a runner. cruising weight of 147-150 when season was in full swing. I have longer leg proportions and big shoulders if that means anything. My first summer joining the ju...

Definately found that wiping down my face before an erg helps. I'm no grease ball by any stretch (2 showers a day), but it helped. I've since retired the wrist band. What also helped is adjusting the anlge of my my trusty fan at my face/Torso. You know what's the best thing in the world? A half glas...

Oh, and thank you for the complement Jamesg.
Appreciated.

Thanks for the sound advice.

I really appreciate the reply's. I'll try and raise the rate a beat and see if this helps and get back to you on the results. I might even be holding the handle a little too loose. I'll the higher rate first, then a tighter grip second.

I usually do 5x1 hr pieces (20spm strict) followed by 15 min bike with 2 AT (3x3k,27spm or 4 x 1k 30 spm), and 2 weight training sessions. What I'm finding with the long steady state UT1 session...

I saw that picture and actually laughed for about 10 min. Nice guys. Well done

You ever find around the 30 min mark or around the 50 min of a long piece, sweat will start to burn your eyes? Damn it sucks and I hate wearing headbands. I think I'll start wearing those wrist cloth things to wipe my eyes with that basketball players use.

Suggestions?

Hey, great job with the training and welcome to rowing from running. I was a runner as well before making the switch. Runners make great rowers imo! I'm only just 5'8" and believe me, if you can run for length, you can probably hall. 147lbs and haling 6:49. I found when I switched over that I could ...
