Re: Older rower seeking opinion

This is the thread that I've been hoping to see for quite a while, and it is truly a pleasure to meet and listen to everyone here, all of whom seem to be in my general age group. Anyway, speaking to the original posted question: I used Polar10 HR monitor religiously until I found that I could use th...

WOD's

I'd never rowed before in my life prior to about thirty days ago....then, because I was fed up with the local pools and gyms closing or cutting back on hours, I bought an Erg and set it up in my den.

Re: Drag Factor Changes During Workout

Thanks very much to all. I just now looked at the replies and haven't had a chance to look at each workout to see the difference between the "set" df and the "calc'd" df (which show up in the logbook on each workout towards the bottom of the data page).

Drag Factor Changes During Workout

I'm very sorry if the answer to my first question as a noobie is self-evident, but I am frankly stumped as to what is happening, and I'm not even sure if it is at all important. I read all the articles and posts I could explaining about the setting the drag factor setting with the damper. Then I wen...
