Have had it and it's always just there in the background. This year not so much. I don't know if this helped, but I have my last two fingers hanging over the end of the handle now and I think it rotates my shoulders externally to put things more in line - but that's all speculation and coming from ...

Ulnar nerve entrapment and surgical release was an old story to me well before I began to have the fixed contracture symptom (inability to straiten the arm) presumably due to damage to biceps and forearm flexor tendons. One symptom/condition appears to set the stage for a second or third. Oddly, I ...

It is tough to do, for me anyway, but pushing off the catch smooth so the little bit of extra chain doesn't jar the arms. I suppose that means absorbing some of that force in the backswing? Or being a little more controlled with the leg push? Anyway, there is something in that I've seen good rowers...

My technique must be really off If you think that's possible, there's no better remedy than seeing how it's done, in the C2 video, words and all. The principle is that rowing is done with the legs, because they're strong and have enough range of motion for such hard work. The pull sequence is legs,...

Hi, I've tried this and it seems to have worked for me in the past. I'm not sure if it's my mind playing tricks on me but I find that it opens my lungs and increases my cardiovascular results (running, rowing, cycling, elliptical). At the end of my workout I would take a shower and for the last minu...

I got it when doing longer, hard efforts on consecutive days. Now I'm alternating hard/easy days it's reduced. Also was worse doing chinups and barbell bicep curls with straight bars. Hi, You nailed it. The chin-ups (actually pull ups for me) seemed to really hit the same spot and for me it was dum...

The only clue I can see is this: you need to tense your arms a bit to have the hands to move back with your legs which may make things worse, so would be best avoided. No doubt you've seen this site, or similar, which mirrors your description closely: http://www.wikihow.com/Assess-Forearm-Tendiniti...

Yes had it towards the end of last season. I was hitting it with the ice packs after the rows and this seemed to help. Really don't know why it flared up in the first place but it then the problem disappeared as fast as it arrived and have had no issue with it this season. Problems this season incl...

Hi, Has anyone ever experienced "rower's" elbow? I've had It both on right and left elbows at different times over the years (usually as I'm getting into a great groove - read fair amount of mileage and pace). It's on the outside just below the elbow where it gets tender. The annoying thing was, tha...

More deep thought: Pete Beginner Plan 24 wks. The interactives duration from 8 to 26 wks. Changing off between continual and periodized training offers a minimum of three distinct programs--intensity/volume mix, volume or base only, intensity only. Subtract 4 weeks vacation/holiday/illness from 52....

@Galeere - I think it was the time of day for your row as well. I'm more into the lunch time or later workouts myself. If I work out before 10am I have to slow my pace down 1 or 2 secs/500 to compensate. @Greg - What a treasure trove of information you're providing. Thanks so much for that. Provides...

Good luck Ross. We'll all be waiting on the results.

If I can't do it myself it's always nice to be there when it happens and be a part of the experience.

All the best

Thanks for sharing your work here, Marco. Doing a 30min above 8K is something I would sure like to be able to do. That is going to take a while :oops: Today I did 10k with a capped HR of 130, SPM 23 and another 5k with a capped HR of 145, SPM 24. I still have some muscle ache from my running experi...

Marco, by week 7, Pete Beginner had too much volume for me WITHOUT the optional workouts. Yes, I flunked out of that one also. Maybe I needed Beginner's prep or remedial studies before beginning? Most likely. I think Marston is a good salesman and must have meant Begin Here Plan. :mrgreen: One thin...
