Neat idea. : )

Good luck with the sales.

he makes me rethink EVERYTHING I've learned so far about rowing. Specifically, it leads me to believe that the supposedly only 20% use of upper body strength is very wrong. Perhaps the difference is due to what works best for the typical "average rower" (conventional wisdom approach) compared to wh...

I have no clue, but whatever he's doing it sure is working. Wow.

Random observation: the HR numbers (@36:59 appear to be crazy low for some of the splits, and other than the first split have to be wrong - maybe an intermittent contact)

A couple of concerns I have with this regarding their method of attaching their handle to the C2 chain swivel. Totally agree with this. I'm thinking that either 1) they're aware that they have an issue that will undoubtedly be a medium to long term problem for users, but haven't bothered to fix it,...

I'm struggling with feeling cramped at the catch Welcome to the forum : ) I'm not particularly tall, but will mention a few things that apply to everyone at the catch: 1) You probably already know this, but the suggested leg position is "shins vertical at the catch." How flexible are you? That migh...

Rowing is hard enough as it is - it doesn't make any sense to me to try to modify it in any way to make some part of it more difficult. No matter who you are, if you don't find it challenging enough then you just aren't doing it right.

A RowErg is an interesting machine: the more power you put in, the more she'll resist you. So if you wan't a harder workout requiring more strength, just push harder in the drive (and take it easier on the recovery). This lady simply did the opposite: no real push in the drive, and thus no resistan...

Yes that's exactly the vibe that I mean! I'm pretty sure that what you're noticing in those posts that first caught your eye is folks writing in what to them is a foreign language, so they aren't quite as informal and relaxed as native speakers / writers. (or maybe a real human using a web translat...

HAL? HAL 9000? Is that you?

I knew someone would get the reference! ; )

Annisotropic, I must humbly apologize if my writing style appears to be artificial and bland - from now on I will do my best to reply in a more dynamic style.

Hi, For the record, some folks really love the Model B seat. I guess it's like bicycle seats - it's a personal thing. Have you tried searching the forum? As you might expect, there's quite a bit of discussion on this. Search for threads with "seat" in the thread title and you'll see what I mean. For...

Failed again, same forearm issue, around the same time :( Did you record a video to confirm that you aren't doing anything subconsciously? If I had to guess, I'd say it's grip or wrist-action related. Try holding the handle with your thumbs on top instead of under it. That will prevent you from ove...

The solution is a bit of a pita, but as Joe said, before every row spray some window cleaner on a few paper towels and wipe the rail and the rollers. It's a bit of a hassle but only takes a minute and gives you a much smoother row.

Secondly, I’ve got a 24-hour ski coming up in July, and I’m trying to get clarity on the rules or accepted standards for long continuous efforts. Specifically around breaks, but any other info is definitely welcome too. Welcome to the forum! I'm 99.9999% sure that the "rules" for the SkiErg long di...

I almost never do a 100% row, no matter the distance, but unless I'm feeling pretty bad or holding back for some other reason, (e.g. sore shoulder) I typically do push myself the last 500-1000 meters, gradually ramping up the pace with negative splits, then for the last 200 m give it all I have as I...
