Concept2 Forum

I too just had my first experience with this kind of behavior although I had a sneaking suspicion it had something to do with the fact that I use Ergdata in conjunction with Rowpro 5.8 but since no one else is mentioning the Rowpro connection, I'm wondering what is really going on. I did a C2 Workou...

Based on the comments seen here it seems that it would be prudent, especially for us old guys, to assume that for someone new at this (as I am) the 220 - age formula should be something we might want to pay attention to. I would also expect that over time, as strength, endurance and conditioning imp...

I thought I'd add to this discussion since I was going to ask nearly the same question. It's been written in many places that the correct way to calculate zones is to subtract your age from 220, The result is what your maximum heart rate should be. As an example, I'm 74 so my zone 5 should be 131-14...

74 year-old new rower here who has been happily following the C2 W.O.D. pretty much every day intermixed every few days with "races" with my previous bests at 500 - 5000m distances on RowPro. I started at the beginning of the year, have almost reached "average" in the C2 rankings for these distances...

Interesting responses. Thanks. When I first started, I was only around 6m/stroke. Based on advice received on this forum, I took a video of myself and saw my form needed some serious improvement, mainly at the end of the pull where my body was only at 12 o'clock. This surprised me greatly...I though...

Newbie question: I recently noticed I can download a CSV file of my history and see that over the 8 weeks I’ve been in this new hobby of mine my times for 500m, 1k, 2k and 5k have all improved significantly, which is nice. (No time yet for 10k!) I also realized that if I divide distance covered by s...

Today I was doing a C2 Workout of the Day which I set up on ErgData. I had RowPro set to “Just Row” so I would have something else to look at, and just about midway through the workout I noticed that the rower in the boat had quit rowing! He started out OK, but then just stopped. Even odder, his oar...

Being in the market for a H.M. monitor I've been lurking on this thread since it started. All this surprising negative talk about Polar has prompted me to invest my hard earned 8 bucks in a Coospo - arm band version, from Ali Express. I figure, if it doesn't work, I won't care and if it does, I've s...

This probably falls under the category of dumb newbie question, but I’ll ask anyway. I recently came across Dark Horse Rowing and followed along on a 20-minute workout consisting of a series of alternating 4-minute intervals at 22 and 26 SPM. I scrupulously kept the exact same pace as demonstrated t...

By the way, has anyone had a look at ImersU? That one seems to be even better than EXR, but the price, as far as I'm concerned, is outlandish. Wow that really is graphics at the next level, where did you find out about pricing ? couldn't find it on their website, found it on a YouTube clip and if i...

Upgraded my Rowpro 5.1 to 5.8 yesterday, not worked since! No reply to email either! You might need to make sure your PM5 firmware is updated. 5.8 is working for me and they did respond to my emails, it just took a day. Maybe because of the holiday no one's working and you might not hear until Jan 2.

As I stated on another thread, I just committed to RowPro, at least for the next 12 months. Maybe there will be a Version 6.0, maybe not but the reason for my decision has nothing to do with whether or not RowPro will be competitive with the others on the market. It does just what I want it to do, s...

As the O.P. of this thread, I thought I would just announce, not that anyone should actually care, I'm going with RowPro. I downloaded trial versions of both R.P. and EXR, have been using each for the past week and although the graphics of EXR are prettier, R.P. 5.8 suits my needs perfectly. EXR act...

FWIW: I'm currently in the free testing period of RowPro Ver. 5.8 and was given a 30% discount coupon code that didn't work. So I wrote to them and got back a reply with a code that does work and some additional info: 6.0 is still in Beta There will be improved graphics with at least one additional ...

Another newbie question here: I see that there are RowPro versions for both PC and Mac. I have it for the PC which so far, I like. But I see there is also a my Rowpro for Android and for iOS. So, what's the difference between the two? I also see that EXR has versions for everything; PC, Mac, Android...
