Happy Thanksgiving to all. My favorite holiday, too.<br /><br />It's been 80 degrees here in San Diego. After taking the boys to Disneyland on Monday and Tuesday, I've spent the last two days with my in-laws in Upland, CA. Good times, and my boys and their cousins got a lot of quality time together....

Guess the newbie is being the subject of ridicule.<br /><br />I'm asking because I don't know.<br /><br />Based on the "helpful replies" I know to take my questions elsewhere in the future.<br /><br />Thanks to the few people on this post who tried to help. To the people who mock beginners, you're o...

So to rotate the sculls:<br /><br />Do you twist them with your wrist...<br /><br />or<br /><br />Rotate them onto the feather by opening your grip and then squaring them by closing your grip (keeping your wrists straight)?<br /><br /><br />Thanks for helping the newbie.

For you on-the-water experts (Xeno, Paul S, etc.) what is the best way to feather the sculls?<br /><br />Is it better to grip the sculls firmly and rotate by dropping the wrists at the release<br /><br />or<br /><br />Should one keep the wrists in line with the arm and rotate the sculls by rolling t...

bw1099:<br /><br />I'm sure everyone in the world knows where your pictures are from...except me!<br /><br />Where are the beautiful pictures taken?<br /><br />Thanks.

Brian,<br /><br />My guess is that it beats the alternative. At days from turning the big 5-0 I have calluses on my right hand, but never tried gloves, never had a foot or toe problem, never had a butt issue, never had a back problem, worked out my neck/trapesius issue through physical therapy, the ...

I've pointed other people to www.row2k.com classifieds.<br /><br />Don't know where you're located.<br /><br />I try this link to the rowing machine classifieds:<br /><br /><a href='http://www.row2k.com/classifieds/classifieds.pl' target='_blank'>http://www.row2k.com/classifieds/classifieds.pl</a><b...

Don't know why, but TV or music seems to make 30 minutes seem like an hour. Probably a reflection of the content.<br /><br />I like to watch the meters or time countdown, focus on each stroke, and alternatively, just let my mind wander. Seems to make the time go by rapidly this way.

Here's a link:<br /><br /><a href='http://www.concept2.co.uk/guide/pdfs/tr ... pter_5.pdf' target='_blank'>http://www.concept2.co.uk/guide/pdfs/tr ... pdf</a><br /><br />(hope this works...)

I was wondering about getting some opinions regarding my chance of doing "ok" in my local indoor rowing competition next January.<br /><br />Me: I'll be 50 then, in the male lwt divison. Currently rowing a "blistering" 8:00 2K. I know 8:00 isn't going to cut it...I think I need to be 7:00 - 7:30 to ...

If you go to Classifieds on www.row2k.com you will see lots of used rowers for sale.

Sean,<br /><br />I've been eyeing these for a while.<br /><br />Did you buy all four? The pricing is very reasonable.<br /><br />Which are your favorites?<br /><br />Thanks!

I've been facinated with rowing a 1x for two decades, but have never tried. I've been training on my Concept2 Model D for about a year and a half, and wondered if any experienced on-the-water rowers could give me some feedback as to how difficult it would be to learn to row a 1x. What is the best wa...

I bought my C2 heartrate monitor in February, and it "hadn't missed a beat."<br /><br />I installed it according to the instructions that came with it.<br /><br />I also rinse the electrode part of the chest belt with tap water, and leave it west, before putting it on. It's snug enough that it never...
