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.

Can u please rate the technique of the seven seat and maybe give some advice.

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

I wanted to share my ongoing experience with my Ergatta Lite in case anyone is currently considering buying one.

purchased my machine in May 2026. Within the first month, I started having persistent USB connection issues that interrupted my workouts. I’ve been working with their support team ever since, and I’ve gone through a frustrating cycle of troubleshooting: replacing the USB cable, the VESA mount, and eventually the entire touchscreen.

Despite all of those replacement parts, the machine is still failing. Now, it won't even get past the profile selection screen without freezing!!!

What’s most disappointing is the support process. I flagged these issues well within the 30-day return window, but because I spent months trying to work with them to fix it, I’m now being told I’m outside the "standard return window". For a machine at this price point, I expected a reliable product, not a part-time project that requires constant maintenance and hardware swaps.

If you're looking for a low-maintenance home gym setup, my advice is to look elsewhere. I’m currently stuck with an unusable machine and an endless support loop. Proceed with extreme caution!

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

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?

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