Continued troubles with tendonitis--biomechanical solutions for the erg?

[Sakly]

Regarding df and pace. I recently had a strong focus on technique and noticed I could pull a 2:00/500m at df80 (yeah, my ego made me do that bad thing, regretted it later). But I can't get passed that point (where at df250 I pulled 1:30/500m easily with worse technique). So when you are unlimited, one might close to a pace obtained at higher df, but matching it might be impossible. For me, at 100kg, higher SPM's are difficult. But a LWT might have bo issue there.

This why I wrote not too low
I am more of a low twitch type, so lack explosiveness. Too low DF means I cannot keep up with the speed.
On TTs for short distances a higher DF helps to get better results for me as I don't have to rate as high as possible, but have the strength to handle the higher load.
On mid to high distances or classic low rate training sessions DF between mentioned values doesn't matter to me. 115 is fine as well as 140 (even if 140 feels heavier for sure).
I am more a midweight, so no advantage in both directions

That is because the issues were not caused by the rower.

Oh? If you are suffering from pain and injury and as a test you quit a particular activity and the pain disappears and the injury heals, a rational person would conclude that the discontinued activity was the cause of the pain and injury. The OP states that every time he gets on the erg he suffers from pain, but most here are urging him to get back on that machine and push through the pain. Why? It is senseless. The man could end up injured for life. Quit the erg. That is my caring, positive advice.

I think you are stupid, really. I don't like to write such sentence when I don't know the person well, but all I read from you in this thread to argue your point of view is stupid.

Read my posts. I have always been courteous. I have made no personal attacks. I have simply expressed my view that the OP should follow the sensible example of the OP in the thread Nomath linked, and stop using the erg. He reported joyously on the pace of his recovery. But despite his testimony you disagree with his choice. That's fine, but rather than spew insults at me, send a personal message to the OP of the 2011 thread and tell him how stupid he was to take his doctor's advice. (Why does the moderator of this forum allow such an insulting post as yours to remain?)

I do not disagree with his decision, never wrote that. Now you tell me I should read your posts - please read mine accordingly.

I decided to call you stupid because all your answers suggest that.
This was the last post I make in this thread, since the OP no longer participates and I can somehow well understand.
