Re: Can a LW 50-59 male go from 242W to 302W in 12 months?

Hello, everyone. Had a tough workout this morning and chuckled at myself when I realized that I was using both the supportive comments to pull me along, and the skeptical comments to push me along! There are 4 areas currently that I can use to increase my power output: 1) increased workout duration ...

Re: Can a LW 50-59 male go from 242W to 302W in 12 months?

"as you know, the fitter/faster you get, the more difficult each incremental watt will be to find" Yup, this is a major unknown for me, and why I wonder if my aim for increasing watts will be offset by said increases actually leading to a decreasing % of increase (wow, does that make sense to anyone...

Can a LW 50-59 male go from 242W to 302W in 12 months?

Hello, everyone. Not a newbie to the erg, but far from knowing it all. 60 year old long term LW multisport athlete. My B.Sc. is in Exercise Physiology meaning neither math nor training lingo are scary to me. I have a good base and have been easing into the WP since the late fall. My December 1st, 20...

help wanted with WP L2 math

Hello, everyone. I've done a pretty good search and am not finding a conclusive answer to this question: My current 2K time was 7:38, yielding a 1:54 split. For my next L2 workout I don't know whether to use 90% of the watts of the 2K split (233.8W) (this yields a 1:59 split or 210W), or to multiply...

If you log on to your logbook on a computer, you can edit the workout. Click on the pencil icon, then "Lwt", then "submit" and it changes the weight category for the workout and in the rankings.
Thank you!
Done and done ;-)

synced workout at HW but am LW, want to change this

So, I just finished a HM to complete my 5 million meters. Problem is once again, ergdata had changed my weight in my profile from LW to HW. I certainly haven't done this. Anyhow, after I synced my workout, I went to the LW rankings and couldn't see myself.... until I looked at the HW rankings. How c...

Re: Clipless pedals for the C2 rower

Here is the first iteration. The adapters have since been reshaped into something pleasing to the eye. I get that this isn't for everyone. I LOVE IT. I have bought 9/16" taps from Amazon in case I ever want to make another set. A future set of adapters would be cut by a machine shop. Using a disc gr...

Clipless pedals for the C2 rower

Hello, everyone! Having raced bikes for many years, adding a rowing machine to the stable of equipment was GREAT! Except that toe straps are from the dark ages.. After pondering what to do for several years, this past week I went for it. Note that I spent a lot of time trying to see if this wheel ha...

Pre-cooling for a 2K?

Apologies if this has been covered elsewehere in this forum - If it has please reply with relevant link(s). I am a sweaty dude, always have been. The upside is that during mtb competitions in the heat, when others are suffering, I am not quite as much. As a recent convert to rowing, and erging in pa...

Just27: I'd LOVE to try the C-Breeze. Even though it is chilly up here in BC Canada, I get very hot very quickly.
