How do I increase the Drag Factor?

Post by AinhoaM » June 3rd, 2014, 11:28 am

Hi!
I've been ergging for 3 years and now I have moved to an other gym. In the new gym there are 4 ergs but even if I put the resistance at 10 the drag factor it's abouth 80. I'll inform the gym's responsibles but until they repair it, do you now any way to increase the Drag Factor? I erg 3 or 4 times a week and I can't quit the trainning.

Please help!

Thanks:)

The only way to increase it is by opening the fan cage and cleaning the crud out of it.

You can decrease it with anything that obstructs the airflow through the cage like a towel (or by moving up a mountain).
