Concept2 Forum

Re Shoes, some row barefoot, but that can hurt around the wraps and heels. If you choose a firm shoe, with a bit of a heal you are fine though. Re Form, you really overcomplicate things. Posted this before in this thread. Another relative newby, nothing fancy, but absolutely does the job. https://y...

Oh, oh.....that guy strikes again. He's the one with the Bugs Bunny headband, short shorts & chartreuse leg warmers. Always put the damper on 10 & takes meth before his workout to make sure his heart is beating strong. One thing for sure, i now watch ppl who row for frequently and even those that a...

Elbow's, outside of knees, between knees, or above knees? There is one gent that rows and he told me between knees. Oh, oh.....that guy strikes again.

All I can say is try to emulate the Australian Rowing video "Indoor Rowing Essentials" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VE663Kg0c00 That athlete has perfect form, if you can get close to his form you will be on track. On the recovery, he is dropping the chain. Handle going down below knees. Thought ...

Hi, looking good on the Concept 2 but yes I can see a few areas that need correcting. You have already been told about your hinge 11o/c and 1 o/c, my main concern is your slide is coming up too close too your feet, when there should be a 6 - 8 inches between when coming up to the Catch, to correct ...

Use the workouts as a means to get the technique. You have to sit on the seat eventually to accrue experience. The beginner plan workouts are designed to NOT be intense, so that you can work on your form. No one beginner just pondered their rowing form for a month in isolation, and then sat on the ...

Also for the distance workouts in the beginner plan row them at a pace of 2:15/500M at R20 (that is 20 strokes per minute SPM) just for starters and see if you can complete the distances at that pace. For example, the first workout of 5000M, do that whole thing at 2:15/500 at 20 SPM and see if you ...

Good catch, ampire. I estimate that 8 of 10 aspiring indoor rowers making videos of their progress will place the camera at their left hand. With reference to this majority observation point, the superposed virtual clock puts 11 over the catch and 1 [or 1300 military] over the finish position. No d...

from what i gather, my 11 movement was too far back? I don't feel that would be a problem if that is flexibility? Just i think my 11 was actually around 10? I guess in my mind, i have a hugh clock & felt my 11 position was further back. Once at 11, that would be the finish? Next is recovery? arms s...

ahh, ok, i was guessing on what side of the person one is on looking at, pending if its 11 or 13? At least, i can now be more accurately in making a comment which position is called 11 & 13. I was always looking at if on left or right side it could be either way? Thanks again for the input so i can ...

shew, will start from beginning & hopefully get form down. With the 500m, i've done a 1:50.2 with form all wrong & that was what i thought to be a slow pace...again, form all wrong. With the 2k & 500m, i've added in "rankings" to see where i stood. Not sure with flexibility? I know losing the 40lb h...

Tks for comment. My thought is until i get the movement down correctly, it would be a waste of time rowing? Shew, as of now, 2k rocks my boat... :lol: ,feeling like i can't row another time once i hit 2k mark. I'm still trying to get the damper setting correct with regards to where it should be for ...
