Still been working at it but been kinda busy too so only about three rows per week mostly on that preset 2000m after my weight workout. Time is getting better, watt avg 147, still I don't feel smooth with my stroke but I'm guessing it'll get better with time. Sailing and boating season is winding do...

Thank you, one thing I do know is that I don't know everything, once you think you do your done for. As a lifelong fitness enthusiast there's always room for growth, now that I'm getting the concepts and starting to understand what I need to do I'm on my way. My wife rows also and I consider her to ...

Okay, now I'm starting to get it. Just finished one of the preset rows, 2000m flywheel at 4, 26spm, hard drive each stroke watt avg 147, finish time8:23.7, breathing harder after 8mins with that setup then when I was doing 5000m in 30mins with wheel at8. Watch more read more learn more. Not sure if ...

So after my lifting work out this morning I went on the rower for 6 mins this morning, set it so I could see the watts, reduced the flywheel to 2. Focused on my drive, watts went up to 140avg, noticed the difference. Still have to search more, learn more, but I see where I need to go, I'll get there...

You've got to keep pumping iron!! I'm 61 life long muscle head, have trained with a Mr Universe, Jeff King, I still hit the weights, each body part once a week. Work outs are fast and hard during warm weather, slower and heavier during winter. I also row, bike walk, sail competitivley and just have ...

Thank you all for your replies and suggestions. Back to the drawing board, I'll review all the links, and threads and attempt to re-educate myself as to what I'm doing wrong and correct it. I'll report on my progress as I really want to get this right.

Watched the vid, watched it before, rowing more to belly button than lower pecs, but pushing off hard with my legs on the drive as I'm a 400lb squatter so lots of power on the push, haven't looked at the watts, usually set on just row.

Don't really understand, been watching videos, my daughter is a personal trainer and she's watched me row, drive with the legs and so on, flywheel at 8 , always, which is easy for me, ex-competitive power lifter, amateur bodybuilder, early 60's but look like 40. Want to get this right.

So new owners for about six weeks, my wife and I, both in good shape, bike , lift weights, walk 25plus miles a week , sail competitively. I'm starting to doubt the pm5 and mostly using it as a clock. Early on it seemed to reflect the difference in our performance but lately not so much, example, tod...
