Re: New Rower - Advice/Potential

Not saying anything was wrong with that piece. But given your height and fitness rating up. When you should do a serious test should be key for you. Trainingwise lower rate is fine ofcourse. Makes sense given the fatigue that sets in with the lower rate. Its definitely been a focus though because a...

Re: Rowing and Cycling Watts

Hamish bond is a good example. He has done 460w for an hour on the TT bike. Regular bike that is probably 480w or so. On the rower I think Hamish has a 1:37 or so split for one hour. That's like 380w or so, in the neighborhood of 20% less. Are you sure? He should go for the world hour record! Briti...

Re: New Rower - Advice/Potential

https://i.imgur.com/tWpIGVS.jpg?1 One of those "guaranteed PB" days. First time doing anything over 500m, just feeling it out. Could rate faster, but wanted to keep it capped low and work on power. Started off just under 2:00, but after a few minutes of that HR was still under 130bpm so I kicked it...

Re: Rowing and Cycling Watts

As everyone said, it's clearly going to be lower. Usually by quite a bit. A big part of this is slide. C2 estimates 300 cal/hr for 80kg person just using the slide. That's around 80w just going up and down the erg. Although this estimate is a little strange to me, because it would seem to depend on ...

Re: New Rower - Advice/Potential

I'm a smaller guy at altitude (6k feet) in Colorado. 5'8", about 63kg(138lbs) when fit, sitting around 71kg right now. Roommates and I recently got a C2 to use during this quarantine period, and I've been having some fun on it just trying to get a feel for it. I find it's a nice complement to some ...
