This question is about how far can one get even with unfortunate genetics: A- What is a 2K anyone can eventually hit? Parameters: Let's imagine a 20 to 30-year-old male in overall good health. assume he's trained fairly informed the last 4 years averaging 15km a day. For anything not mentioned assum...

Thank you for the ideas guys

I'm planning on doing a 100K piece and I'd love to record all stroke data. What is the best method to do so? I have a PM4. it's probably going to be around 8 hours and there's no way my phone (ErgData) is going to stay up for that long due to battery limitations. A couple of weeks ago I did an FM, I...

IMO Concept'2's online logbook does 80% of what anyone would need when it comes to detailed progress tracking. You can even download it as a .csv file to visualize the data your own way. Other software that you might be able to use depends on your PM model and whether you're an Apple user. Here is a...

Drag factor 159
26 s/m

And according to what I’m reading 159 is too high for a beginner. I thin my technique is fine is my endurance that is shxt hahah and I of course loose all of the technique I have during the second half. Any specific exercises on technique ?

Sorry I meant that I get 20 points less if I test the drag factor arms only compared to full length.
At setting 7 it reads 140 when arms only. It reads 160 at full strokes.

I’m 27 6’ 1” 207 pounds currently doing 7:30 in my 2K What rating? This is critical, since to go from 7½ to 7 minutes is a 25% increase in power (from 250 to 300 Watts), which will be hard to do by increasing rating only. You'll most likely have to work on your stroke too, aka technique. A few week...

Thank you so much guys :) I’ll build my cycle based on your suggestions I’ll keep you updated. 2020 here I go’ There is a shed load of useful material here to look through as well. If you are planning a year of training it would be useful to think about periodisation where you spend some time on lo...

Hello guys if this has been covered before I’ll follow your link :) I only need a ballpark estimate to decide if this is a good 2020 goal. Again, my goal being taking my 7:30 to sub 7 I usually put 5 hours total of training during the week I had been doing very little about my fitness the past 2 yea...
