I like my slides - yes or no

General discussion on Training. How to get better on your erg, how to use your erg to get better at another sport, or anything else about improving your abilities.

For those of you with first-hand experience, would you rather erg with the use of slides or without?

It is easy to fix, by putting the erg back on the slides.

That's like "fixing" the strange noise your car is making by turning up the radio.

Denial is not a solution.

You've acknowledged that you can tell the difference in feel and smoothness, now take that and apply it productively to improve your skill overall; Or keep making up excuses for why you don't improve.

Your choice. :roll:
Erg on,
