has worked well for me Hank.<br><br>I followed 20 week programme and it taught me to do more slower paced controlled powerful stuff; rather than every training session at the max. I was also not controlled enough to attempt the more sophisticated plans like the Wolverine. I know ergers who can hold ...

Sorry this is a UK answer but am sure US do same.<br><br>Over here they do buy up ex gym machines (usually as part of a trade in package on upgrades to Ds). Replace all bearings and wearing items and then sell direct with a limited warranty.<br><br>

UK C2 sell refurbed machines for £600, which is about right price. Not sure where they get them from, nor their approach to 'servicing'.<br><br>I am taking my machine over there tomorrow as it has a bit of vibration at high speeds (I wish!!!).....it's all relative. From talk on the phone they are we...

good going Mark.....<br><br>I'm following the same programme and after several weeks of low spm, longer distances did a first set of 7' pieces, higher spm last night (warm up, 3x7' with active recovery inbetween, cool down). Felt like I was flying. Comfortable and feeling very controlled......<br><b...

Heather..........that's stunning, well done for gritting it out.<br><br>I'm feeling good that I've just done 100k in 10 days for the first time ever.<br><br>I am humbled by your achievement.<br><br>Were you alone? in a gym? lots of support? <br><br>Paul

Scott.....<br><br><br>4x750m at 2K-6 (1:30) 4:30 recovery<br><br>means do four sets of 750 metres each, rowing at an average of 1 minute 30sec per 500m and rest for 4 minutes 30sec between each set.<br><br>The 2k-6 refers to this rowers 2000 metre average of 1 minute 36 sec per 500m. Hence 2k-6 is 1...

Ranger<br><br>thanks once again for taking the time to reply.<br><br>Feeling very proud of a couple of sets at the weekend:<br><br>4 x 10', 4' rests (inactive) on Friday<br><br>1:49.2 @ 21 spm = 12.7 SPI<br>1:49.2 @ 21 spm<br>1:49.2 @ 21 spm<br>1:49.1 @ 21 spm<br><br>Really pleased with the consiste...

thanks Karl,<br><br>when I started I was the classic newbie pulling on 10.<br>I've dropped down to 5 now (thats 150 on my machine) and will go lower now having read some of these posts.<br><br>Suspect that is the back ache cause......<br><br>Paul

Ranger,<br><br>you've got me distracted now. Should be doing some work !!<br><br>However I am partially pleased with crunching the numbers; I am very consistently doing 11.7 to 12.1 SPI for my 5k work - 22/23 spm, 265/269 power. <br><br>I haven't got a representative 2k (newbie, last did one in May)...

Just read this thread.......shocking really.<br><br>I think the key point was well made that the USIRT isn't ...... it is the US C2 Team and should be presented as such. They are then free to use whatever criteria they wish.<br><br>However I would have thought though, that diversity in the sport is ...

Ranger,<br><br>that's brilliant..........thanks for the answer.<br><br>I followed some advice you gave me before and have been working on getting metres per stroke up through using my legs much more effectively. Strapless low rating etc.<br><br>Now I've been erging a few months it is feeling natural...

Geography lesson from a Northern Irishman !<br><br>Hope I've got this right, but it was what I was taught as a lad !!<br><br>In physical geography terms, The British Isles is the group of islands made up of the island of Great Britain (that's the big one), Ireland (that's the next biggest one) plus ...
