I had pictured Hulk Hogan with those splits and that drag. We're actually the same height although my guess is the 25 pounds you have on my is mostly muscle.

Ha! Unfortunately the only noteworthy muscle on me is the one I sit on when I row!Quatroux wrote: I had pictured Hulk Hogan with those splits and that drag.
which is why I have the foot things set on position 1 (5 holes showing) as it allows me to use my big butt more. 
Me too! Me too! 6'5", 210. Need to get back down to 199.

Thanks for the offer! I'm set up OK now though. It's a little more than just a harvester -- it allows us to set and track challenge goals for team members, and formats the forum post for easy (well, easier) daily posting. I could do the further automations Izz mentioned but I'm too OCD. Plus, I've got some other whiz-bang features I use that even HE doesn't know about.

You WERE going to work on having your tracker harvest the numbers automatically, maybe even generate an automatic e-mail, etc., but chose to stay personally involved, and for that we thank you.
Buncha stud-muffins on this team! Just remember, don't skip leg day!glenmbaker wrote:Me too! Me too! 6'5", 210. Need to get back down to 199.

I can't row at those high drag factors or the coaches will yell at me. Right now we're in early season technique mode, and it's all about the subtleties of the stroke sequence.
Hey Janice, welcome aboard! Glad to have another lady rower to balance out all this stinky testosterone.Janirower wrote:Izzz, thank you, and Ive joined the team!
I've unfortunately, just discovered this site a few days ago, so my log only goes back to March 1. Im currently trying out the March challenge, and hoping to participate in the marathon in May. Oh, and of course, the Global challenge in March/April!
Looking forward to all this! Thanks again!
Sorry, I think it's an exclusive relationship, if you're talking about teams here on the Concept2 site...D6K9Cop wrote:can you row for more than one team as i have small group of friends that want to form a small team, 5 rowers..
The higher my damper setting, the better my form, because my stroke rate decreases. When I was using a lower damper setting my form fell apart towards the end of the row because my stroke rate was so high; sometimes above 30 if I was going for a PB. I would get too tired. Not so with a higher damper setting. My form is probably not as good as Andy or Glen's, as they are in a boat and need to have perfect form. But i have good form for an erg.D6K9Cop wrote:At those numbers Conlejm< how long can you maintain good form? I'm just curious as cant pull those numbers without killing myself.
And as far as crazy fast paces go ... Have you seen Jim Grattan's times? And he is 20 years older than me!Izzzmeister wrote:
Personally, I use between 6 & 8, a 7 for most rows, a 6 or 6.5 for very long rows.
Awesome! Welcome aboard!sillbeer wrote:Hi all. I just joined the team thanks to the great instructions by Izzzmeister. No issues at all with your instructions at all.
I'm looking forward to a lot of meters and great stories.

Ah, but I have it on good authority that Jim G rows downhill...CONLEJM wrote: And as far as crazy fast paces go ... Have you seen Jim Grattan's times? And he is 20 years older than me!
