Re: Some help for a newbie please! *long post*
So just a bit of a status update. Things are still going pretty well. Average time is still about 2:06 with power being about 175 or so.

Re: Some help for a newbie please! *long post*
I tried to follow your advice about pushing off from the rest of the seat and that helped me a little bit. Wasn't sure what I was supposed to do with the handle though (this isn't my machine I'm using so I can't bring a rope with me but I tried to sort of get the feeling of pushing off without the ...
