So again...does anyone have access to the original research referred to in the article?

While googling this earlier I found this............

I would like to find the original research paper.

Could you post the link to either the original article or the post where this was originally discussed? Thank you.

I would not be too concerned about the HR as you listed. I am a 58 year old smoker and just completed a Personal Best 5000 meter row with a HR at or above 160 beats per minute for the final 10 minutes of a 21 minute piece. Maximum HR is related to conditioning and age. I have been rowing since last ...

Yet another update. Weight constant at 225 Lbs (102 Kg). Set a new PB for 60' row today after taking off 5 days over Easter to visit family in PA. I erged a 2:13.6 . and 13,472 meters pace dropping 1.1 seconds in pace from last PB set at the end of March. Rowed the WEC with some 336,000 for the even...

Did reach the Million Meter mark on 2/22/14. Did row the VTC for the US Navy Team. Sitting at 1,281,047m today. Rowing the WEC as well for the US Navy Team.

Rocco and Harvey,

Thank you for the kind words and support. Still erging and still making progress on PB efforts on a variety of distances and times. I am now at the 30th percentile for my age group on almost all of my ranked pieces. I started at about an average of the 15th percentile.

Have had no squeaks since my procedure and slight oiling of one of two chain pulleys.

Damper setting recommended by Concept 2 is between 3-5 but what you really want to check is the actual drag factor of the machine you are rowing on. A 5 damper setting should be around 135. As far as the foot rests, I prefer to have them adjusted such that the stirrup strap crosses over the ball of ...

A recent study shows that insulin resistant muscle is exercise resistant.

Could you provide a link to that study or an explanation of what is meant by exercise resistant?

Thanks for your assistance.

You can control (row a desired) stroke intensity either by pulling a harder stroke at a set stroke rate or pulling a stroke at a higher rate but lower muscle intensity (less hard). It will take you some time to learn what works best for you and on what length of pieces you are rowing. There is a cer...
