Concept2 Forum

Hi all. I am fairly new to rowing, but thought I would try out the above app on my IPad. I have a subscription to RowPro, but while they are sorting out version 6.0, thought the app may be worth ago. So I went to the Oarbits sections and joined an event, or so I thought. But then what? There seems n...

I tried to give the rower a bit of a clean. Then after leg day at the gym tried a quick 500m whilst trying to maintain s better form. S/r is better than the 40s and a better time compared to beginning of the week.
Looking forward to trying mine out later.

Okay I shall try that when next at the gym, although i suppose I am not likely to get true figures until i get back home.
I shall certainly mention the bit of routine maintenance to the gym staff. See what, if any difference, it makes. Thanks.

At the gym this morning, I wound the damper up to 10, for what it is worth on this machine. (it has done a mere 12,998,947 lifetime metres since 2010). I then proceeded to row a leisurely 15 minute 3k to really concentrate on getting the legs working first and incorporate a bit more movement to try ...

Thanks for all your replies. It will be interesting to see the number for dr when I get home on to my new machine.

Hmm! But if I am straightening my legs my bum is bound to move back. No?

Does this link work?

Okay. At the gym this morning I entered the drag menu and set the damper to 7. Drag was about 71 ish. Lowered to 3 and about 54. Up to 5 and drag of low 60's. I couldn't get anywhere near the 3 digits in your post. Could it be that the machine is just very tired? I am not at home at the moment, so c...

Thank you for your welcomes and the very much appreciated advice. It is clearly an issue with the stroke. It feels right in terms of body position, but I really must not be maximising the proper motion. As someone who has spent many years in gyms I am reasonably good at isolating the muscles I use, ...

Hi all, Having attended gyms for many years, on and off, I found myself using the ubiquitous Concept 2 at nearly all of them. I rarely used them as a sole piece of equipment, but rather at the end of a weights work out. Anyway, having pondered extending the use of a rower, I decided to finally buy a...
