Concept2 Forum

Hi everybody, My name is Greg and I was one of the two Concept2 employees that went out to Hollywood to help with The Biggest Loser Challenge. Here is a bit of the back story. We were contacted on a Tuesday and had to be out in California that Friday with 13 model E rowers ready to set up and run t...

Yes, it should bring all the meters from the beginning of NARC automatically.

Hey It is Ok with me. I am sorry i am slacking on this one. I have been doing alot of traveling for C2. OH yeah and snowboarding my butt off. You should get a team together. Give me a call or email me directly at gregh@concept2.com. Thanks Guys I do miss the team. - Greg

Hey i just got this from Travis Pastrana. It gives us all somthing to shoot for. Hi greg, I've been mostly swimming and bicycling getting ready for a half iron man in hawii but I got on the rower and did a 6:37 2,000 yesterday. I started off too slow and feel that I left a bit on the table but I fig...

Wow you guys are quick I didn't even know we had a new team page. We are doing great getting the word out. We had 13 new people buy rowers that ride last month. I am off to the Indy trade show to talk the rower up with some Moto Magazine guys. I am also going to be doing a rowing workout with the An...

sounds good to me we could even combine the two. If we did the daily challenges we would post the time or amounts it took to do the workouts in here on the forum. example; 5000m 100 crunches total time was 25 minutes or something like that. Let’s see what the general consensus is. I would like it if...

We could start our own challenge and post it on RacerX VT. We should all brainstorm a good one or let’s make a month long challenge that goes along with the calendar. Example: Day 1 5000 meters 100 crunches Day 2 interval pyramid 250, 500, 750, 1000 and back down with dips after Day 3 as many pushup...

It may sound sick but we have a whole album of very fit guys and gals that are either puking or passd out. Hey we have all been there. Thats when you have to go to your"happy place". What are you shooting for?

2K is just like ripping off a band aid. If the Band Aid is 20 feet long stuck to leg hair and takes 8 minutes to get off! - Greg

Yeah the 500 m test is more of a "What can you Bench" thing. It is a quick easy test. As far as "training" there are many ways to use the rower for the type of riding. I want to start getting more good workouts for our sports on paper. If you have any you like email me and I will give you credit for...

This was a quick and dirty attempt at posting some Moto type workouts : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eR9Rz_Letm8 I encourage any of you to post some as well. There will be more to come soon. The next workouts will include Pyramid workouts, Challenges and a lot of good total body workouts. I just d...

Here are some good links that you may find interesting. The VO2 max calculator has been proven to be pretty close to the more comprehensive test. The biggest factor is how well you row. Dr Fritz Hagerman developed the test. http://www.concept2.com/us/interactive/calculators/vo2max.asp and here is on...

I want to encourage any and all of you to post any workouts you think are good to YouTube. I have someone coming over from the local school to help me post some pretty beginner workouts. I will try and show how to set up the monitor and how to combine with other “off rower” exercises to get a Moto s...

Michelle has got it right with the damper settings and drag factors. It is all based on feel the Monitor does not know what you have the damper set on all it know is how many times the magnets go by the sensor. You will find where you are most comfortable and where you get your best time. Keep in mi...

If Heath will let us use his track and lake I could ask Travis P if he would do it (and I knowt he would). That dude loves a challenge. Hey this could be good!
