Thanks for the reply! i never thought about freeing the wattage per stroke mindset when it comes to intervals - i was under the impression when i first started out that anything in the high 20s or 30s was a no-no but i suppose that only applies to getting the technique right. i guess i'm having a ha...

For training low rate is fine, but testing is free. Those 500 reps should be 30 or higher. 5k 26/28 10k 25//27 There is much much more if you get going without the restriction. Rowing fast is about training a good stroke and being able to use that stroke free rate. Your rating extremely restricted,...

Hey guys! It's been almost 4 months since i've posted and so some posts as a reminder of who i am: https://www.c2forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=184900 https://www.c2forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=184929 here's my progress so far! 500m intervals and the fastest pace i can keep consistently - https://lo...

I'm not sure what you mean in Q1. The pace is measured by the spinning of the flywheel so if there's more drag it slows down quicker and it will take more power to get it back to a faster speed, and the contrary when there is lower drag. Your pace will be slower due to you rowing with less power, e...

as Jmac said, diet. you can't outwork a bad diet. seriously. the mentality that you need to change your workouts in order to lose weight is the same reason why so many new year resolutioners quit the gym, not too long after they join. if you stop exercising, know what your estimated calories in vs c...

For those of you that remember, I first posted my thread about 6 days ago here https://www.c2forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=184900 Received a lot, and I mean a lot, of great responses (thank you all and for being patient!) that my first row a few days after reading and responding to the posts, I knew...

Regarding the handle pulling you back to the catch position: That will probably not happen. What should happen when you row strapless is: You start by making a firm drive with your legs, and then continue by bending a bit backwards in the hip. Now your whole body is travelling backwards on the rail...

Your stats line indicates that you have done HM, FM, and “ultramarathon” distance. Clearly you have the aerobic fitness and stamina to move your bodyweight back and forth on the slide. But your high rate “spinning” approach is producing on average only 4.4 watts per stroke. At 200 lbs. and assuming...

Thank you all for the responses! i realized i may have not been quite clear regarding my post, intention and my specific questions so in my replies below i'll try and address as much as i can with what i'm trying to really ask. Thank you all for bearing with me! Watch the videos here (even if you ha...

hi all! first time posting here and as of this post, only 30,000ish lifetime meters ever. i posted on the reddit forum https://www.reddit.com/r/Rowing/comments/a4d8qs/concept_2_rowing_technique_nuance_questions/ got a couple of answers and tried to take the advise of one of them who was very respons...
