I ride a mountain bike about 1000 miles per year on a 'rail trail' ... flat cinder/gravel road. It takes me about 54 minutes to do 10 miles at 70% of maximum effort. BTW, I am 66 years old, 6'2" / 210# and have constant atrial fibrillation, so maximum effort is not what I want to achieve. Just looki...

Ultra ... thanx.

Very helpful. I understand what you are describing. I'll have to work on it and take more vids so I can monitor my progress.

I really appreciate everyone's help. !!

Cyclist2 .... Thank you and the others for your comments. I really appreciate them. I don't row daily ... as there are other things I do. Biking, boxing, b'ball, weights, yada, yada. But, I do like rowing. Heck, even my rheumatologist has a C2. Kewl ! I'll work on those things you and others have su...

Thanx for the observations and recommendations. Yes, the camera has sort of a fish eye deal. It's more for sports/auto/motorcycle than fixed stuff. I agree that it appears that I'm not giving much effort. But, at the end of a 20 minute session, I am sweating. I'll try to row without the straps, alth...

Maybe here?

I'm not all the savvy as I said. But, when I click on the link, I see me rowing.

Not sure what the deal is. Maybe I'll try to post it on YouTube.

Not sure this will work. I snipped a couple minutes from a vid I did with my GoPro this afternoon when I was rowing. Not all that great, but I use it on the motorcycles. I don't look all that smooth, but tell me what I'm doing incorrectly. I'm trying to get this rowing right. Thanx. See if this can ...

Thanx again ..... appreciate your help.

I was working on technique with a friend yesterday and despite all of my coaching, it took me 20 minutes to get hime to stop shooting the slide......it was almost insignificant as he did it but I figured it our with hime as I put the power display on the monitor. His curve was a spike as the first ...

I was tired yesterday coming home from work, but decided to row for 20, or so minutes. I have to tell you ... I was quite disappointed. I tried Bob's "just legs" deal, and that didn't seem to generate any power what so ever. So, I proceeded to just row. s/500 was just around 2:35ish. I was better, b...

eBay ... or Amazon?

Bob S .... once again you have creatively developed and accomplished something that is truly unique. Congratulations. I sorta tried to do this a couple weeks ago when everyone dissed my results when I 1st started. I just could not 'isolate' my legs. But, I think I have more knowledge than a month ag...

I'm surprised that such a seemingly simple thing as 'rowing' has become quite complicated. But, every 'simple' thing has intimate technical aspects .... golf, bowling, passing a football, shooting a handgun, swimming and so on. I've kayaked (prolly doing that incorrectly, too) ... and, rowed a boat ...

I was not able to row today ... Anyway, I've looked at this vid several times. I am sure I am not shooting the slide. No way I look like that when I'm viewing in the mirrors. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oP6OR-G7AxM I may be rushing the recovery ... or some such. But, I feel I'm using much more up...
