Concept2 Forum

Thank you

I think I’d like to try the 500m, 1k and 2k but I’m definitely up for any suggestions as I’m not sure what I’m suited for. I know that my power in other sports and the gym has always been one of my natural traits. The drag factor was on 6. I’ll definitely now try playing with it a little and using s...

Thanks everyone for the kind comments. I will go back and do some training to try improve and follow the advice people have suggested on here. I’ll set up a log aswell to help record things better. I’ll shoot a video from the side so people can see where I’m going wrong on my technique. Also where i...

I’ve posted it on Vimeo
If you search ‘500m 1:20.2 first time’

I’ve never used the forum before so how am I suppose to know where to post? Nearly booted me off for not knowing how to work something I’ve never used? That’s hardly fair. I’ve come on here for help and support not to be told i could be booted off for asking for help.

Thank you. I have the video on my phone but need to upload it to YouTube. I need to open a YouTube account to upload it. Otherwise I don’t personal mind sending it anyone. I’d love some advice and guidance. I really do not have a clue how to row properly regarding technique etc

Okay cool. I understand he’s trying to get clarity then. Thanks again

Thank you. I have trained my in different sports and weight lifting for many years but not specific to rowing. I’m a personal trainer by trade but just never used the rower to train only as warm up if ever have used. My friend who has rowed before Tony Millard advised i try it. So I guess that found...

I’ve got a video on my phone how do I post it? Funny thing is you’re talking asif I’m lying? I’m new to this and was looking for some sportsman advice and nice people to help direct me. only because you can’t pull this Citroen doesn’t mean that somebody else can’t. I can assure you the kit is legit.

Thanks, I’ll check it out. I’d like to be around 110-112kg and lose some muscle as I imagine 120kg is to heavy.

Thank you, I’m going to start training and see what I can really do with some guidance and hard work!

I can confirm the monitor is a PM5 and the rower is concept 2 E model. All calibrated professionally.

The world record is around 1:10 so I’m far from world class but I guess it’s a good start. I’m 6 foot 5 120kg I believe that’s okay for a novice

Hi everyone, hope you are all okay I tried rowing 500m for the first time today on a concept 2 machine. Other than using one to warm up in the gym for a few minutes every once in a blue moon, I’ve never used one for a work out. My time was 1:20.2. I was wondering if that’s a good starting time as my...
