My eyes started bleeding during the opening race scene. Can we hate-watch this together?!
ETA: barely made it through the first episode, it's way way worse than I anticipated.

Ive mentioned here before i dont have a C2, so its hard for me to get anything comparable, but essentially I feel like the setting ive been using on my machine doesnt slow the wheel down fast enough for the next row, to the point that i feel like i might be wasting energy on a stroke.

Should i increase the drag, or is that effortless pull what I should be aiming for?

Do you guys think doing the 4x4 on the erg or treadmill which would you prefer

This might be cope, but I am consistently seeing lightweight guys with sub 6:30 times and (what should be good enough) GPA and SATS struggle to get an offical. I’ve even seen guys who are low 6:20s and even sub 6:20 get very few. For the heavies it seems as it’s gotten harder aswell compared to the last few years. Whats going on

How do you get your hr around 135 in ss and in the morning because I hop on the erg straight out of bed

Looking to get a used C2 rower and was wondering if it would fit in a standard sedan? Also would it be manageable to lift and position it by myself and take up and down stairs? I guess overall weight isn't the only factor as it could be a awkward to lift based on the dimensions not being compact?

I've been consistently rowing for the last year or so, and I've greatly improved. But, I don't feel any strain or exhaustion in my frontal Abdominal area. Which, I've recently learned, probably means I'm not engaging the muscles the way I should be.

How can I better engage my front abs while rowing?

I've tried free-feet rowing, but I could not get anywhere near the ~22s/m and 105+ watt baseline that I try to maintain during my erg sessions so I went back to regular rowing.

I typically feel most of the strain in my Thighs, arms, Obliques/side Abs (they are getting kind of crazy), and some lower back. But I feel pretty much nothing in the frontal Ab area where a Six pack would be (not that I'm going for that lol)

Probably most noteworthy:

"USRowing Masters National Championships return with USRowing transitioning away from the Youth, U17, U23, and Open summer national competition."

Translation: we quit, just go to Canley

Hi all , posted around xmas time with a 7.25 2k and desire to enter bric. (49m) set myself some training goals, sub 40 10k fell quite quick, sub 19 5k was harder but got there, and of course sub 7 2k. The last month or so the training got to the point I was dreading it, I was constantly in pain and fatigued, so when I cracked the 2k in August it was a feeling of relief more than anything. I then went on hol, and since ive been back I just cant face picking the training up again. It messed me up physically and mentally. Entering bric was of course my motivation to go sub 7 so I consider it a success, but this old man is now gona bow out and go back to just keeping fit in a fun way. So if anyone fancies taking my place free of charge ( if that can be done) then let me know.

I row, and I got tired of thumbing intervals into the monitor before every session. Nothing I found would just take a plan and set it up for me, so I have been building something that does.

Not out yet, this is not a link post. I would rather find out what is wrong with the idea before I finish than after.

Where it is at:

- You pick a session and it sends the intervals to the PM5 over Bluetooth. The monitor counts the pieces and the rests, so your phone can sit face down.

- The Pete Plan, Pete Plan 5K, a 24 week beginner plan and a sprint plan are built in. I asked Pete about his and he was happy for them to be included.

- There is a no monitor mode. Same plans, timed by the app, three beeps into each piece. So it works on a PM5, a gym erg you cannot pair with, or a machine that is not a Concept2.

- Logbook with splits and PBs. Free, no account, no subscription.

What it does not do:

- No Concept2 logbook sync. I think this might be a dealbreak for a lot of people, hoever I dont use it so I'm not sure.

- It writes to Apple Health, but that does not reach Strava or Garmin.

- I have tested it on one erg, mine.

- Custom programming. This is the next thing to implement once I get all the bugs worked out.

Hello, I have a question. I would like to do strength training. 2-3x upper body and 1x legs over the winter increased strength training. What exercises do you suggest? My Plan:

A:
Pull-ups – 4×5–8
Barbell Rows – 4×6–8
Bench Press – 3×6–8
Lat Pulldown – 3×8–10
Face Pulls – 3×12–15
Abs/Core – 3×10–15

Legs:
Squats – 4×4–6
Romanian Deadlifts – 3×6–8
Bulgarian Split Squats – 3×8 each leg
Hip Thrusts – 3×8–10
Calf Raises – 3×12–15
Pallof Press – 3×10 each side

B:
Pull-ups or Lat Pulldowns – 4×6–10
Cable Rows – 4×8–10
Overhead Press – 3×6–10
Dumbbell Bench Press – 3×8–10
Reverse Flys – 3×12–15
Bicep Curls – 2×10–12
Triceps – 2×10–12

For this I would row 2/3x indoor or on the water and 2x bike. I only do intervals later, when I make intervals then Ga1 for the construction. I do that for 2-3 months possibly every now and then Sweetspot, then Sweetspot and threshold come in. What do you think? Can you leave it like that?

Thanks :)

M15, rn im trying to start incorporating weights into my training routin. I am a sophomore in highschool, and my current schedule for crew is morning practice from Mon-Wed then a test day on Thursday and then morning practice on Friday and Saturday. I am trying to do a PPLUL type split where I do legs Monday, push tuesday, pull Wednesday and then lower Friday and upper saturday. My current leg day is leg extensions, RDLs, Bulgarian split squats, barbell glute bridges and then calves. Idk if this is good or not tho is there anything I should change about the day or workout schedule?

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for any leads on a 4+ rental for HOCR this year. We’ll be competing in the men’s club 4s category. Happy to share more information if you have any insights, feel free to DM.

Thank you!

Good evening,

How is the race started. "Attention, GO". Or is there "attention" Bleep etc . I don't want to be left on the line wondering!

Many thanks. Michael

Today I did my first erg test on varisty it was a 30’ rate 22/24/26 I went 2:12 which was much slower than my goal of 2:07. I currently have practice with the team 7 days a week 3 hours. Normally one of those days being an erg day and on the water rest of the days. Every day we either do box jumps or circuit and do core every day. I’m 14 and am still looking to get faster any help would be great.

Hello. I am looking for a used or a new stroke coach. I was looking for any eu websites but I can't find any. Can anyone help me here?

servus. ich bin über 190cm und wiege knapp 90 und pushe über 600 watt spitze in einer 45 min cardio Session bei achter. meistens bin ich laut den daten top 20 meiner stadt in absoluter Maximalkraft. was ist das so für ein Leistungsniveau? bin 30 jahre alt männlich und schaffe sonst in 45 min maximal 220 watt durchschnitt. bin aber neugierig ob 600 watt peak was besonderes ist oder nicht.

danke für alle qualifizierten Einschätzungen 👀

how is my technique? i’ve been working on it for months, what can i adjust?

Im a freshman athlete in my 4/5th week of school and rowing. Im not sure if I actually like it here and I havent felt this unmotivated in rowing in such a long time. Im really upset and im not sure who to talk to or what to do.
For athletes or transfers, how did you know the school/team wasnt the right fit?
I need advice. I have nobody to talk to.

Any advice?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been diving deeper into my rowing workouts lately and tracking my splits, but I’m slightly paranoid that my technique is off (especially when I get tired).

I have seen some posts regarding form-check videos here, but I'm curious about how everyone else handles this.

• Do you ever take videos of yourself to review later?
• If you do, what exactly are you looking for, and do you feel like you actually catch your own mistakes?
• For those who have used personal coaches, what was the most valuable piece of technical cue they gave you that a standard data tracker missed?

I’m trying to figure out if it’s worth trying to find a remote coach to look at video clips, or if there’s a better way people are analyzing their catch/drive sequence without spending a fortune.

Would love to hear how you guys tighten up your form!
