Concept2 Forum

keen to get a bit more 'all round' fit, maybe help strengthen my core (something I am terrible at doing in isolation) and rowing seems a good and time efficient way of doing that. Not meaning to be flippant but if you want to strengthen your core do a specific core programme. I'm guessing that by c...

Thanks Paul. I'm looking to add some mass in the coming months...mainly as people say I'm getting a bit stick like :o :lol: ....but also to build some strength for the erg. Welcome to THAT club too. :lol: Don't want to tell u stuff u already might know but focusing on compound exercises like the de...

For someone of your height/weight/age that's a good solid result...welcome to the club. :wink: Thanks Paul.

Sub 7....did it!!! :D Was supposed to be doing an interval session but decided to take a crack at a 2km TT as it was becoming something I was avoiding. 6:58.5, 1:44.6@29 500 1:41.1@30 1000 1:45.8@28 1500 1:46.9@29 2000 1:44.6@39 Avg HR 175 Wrote myself a plan and followed most of it...start steady,...

Weights last Sunday, complete rest Monday and yesterday on the ergo: 8K including some high intensity and high drag efforts as was curious as to if my strength increases have carried over. 3 random efforts 250m@1:24.8 DF=142 200m@1:24.0 DF=152 175m@1:23.1 DF=164 I think it likely on this basis I wil...

While we are on this topic....erg related injuries. :shock: About 6-9 months ago I was getting dull pain in one of my 2-veg (as in "meat and 2 veg")...took me a while to realise it was my inside thigh hitting it repeatedly when using the erg. :oops: Some shorts have better support than others...I fi...

I think I am in this weird place now that the idea of doing a test and not getting a PB scares me to the point that I don't want to test and feel like I failed. Need to get my mind right. I think eventually reaching this mindset if a very common problem with the erg. Once you've trained diligently ...

Probably should be in the health forum this one....arse chaffing is the worst I have endured but maybe jumping into 30km+ so soon after starting exacerbated this for you.

Hello mate, welcome aboard. Lots of good info/people here. Just looking at your height/weight and times, I'd say your 500m will go fairly quickly. :) You'll probably have an element of muscle memory so you should make good progress, and you've clearly got an engine. Enjoy... Hello Gammmmo, Thanks :...

Ploughing a deep furrow of poor form on the rower at the moment. No energy in my legs - perhaps due to a tough w/o yesterday or because I'm trying not to be a fat knacker and have cut out pointless sugary snacks. Another HD today, but (although mindful of Wednesday's fiasco) decided to have a 1k bl...
