Me too.... boney ass is not great for rowing ...the Citius Remex helped me for sure.jrkob wrote: ↑June 9th, 2023, 11:37 pmGuys thanks a lot for the responses, as always super helpful.
Regarding (3). Ok so I spent the morning at the gym waiting for this person to show up, which she eventually did !
You guys were right, awful technique even by my humble standard. I chose not to approach her.
Very good idea ! I checked their website and sent them an email to make contact.nick rockliff wrote: ↑June 9th, 2023, 10:12 amIf you want some sound advice about all aspects of rowing, I would make a call to the Hong Kong Rowing association. I'm sure they could offer some training courses.
It's just aching. Problem is I have very little fat on my bottom so my bone pretty much rests on the seat.winniewinser wrote: ↑June 9th, 2023, 6:07 am
What sort of pain? Sores from rubbing or general aching?

If it's just aching then you will get past that with more time in the saddle.....imo

Re: A few questions: hips strengthening, seat cover, and interesting exercise
Actually its worse than this as (at least on PM3) any row <5min on just row isn't saved. I find many people do 500m or so on just row and so never leave a record!jrkob wrote: ↑June 10th, 2023, 1:09 amYes you're right in fact, I am checking the PM's history almost every day for this specific reason. I'm hopeful to notice a strong stroke I could approach. I haven't seen it yet but I keep checking. My sense is that if there was one, I would have seen it by now. It seems I'm the only one who is not using exclusively the Just Row function.

I think the PM5 reduced this time to <1min. It's very likely that every just row gets saved.iain wrote: ↑June 12th, 2023, 4:06 amActually its worse than this as (at least on PM3) any row <5min on just row isn't saved.
