Re: Ranger's training thread
Must be scared and running, ignoring almost everything I have discussed. You have intentionally claimed I made statements I did not make and will not substantiate your claim. You have begun to misquote people in hopes of getting banned so it will go away like the last 2 times. You have failed to mee...

Re: Ranger's training thread
your arrogance makes you think there is only one way to accomplish something, with this you are wrong. I can not tell you another way to accomplish your goal but I will guarantee you there is another way Nope. You're wrong. There is only one way. You can't pull 1:34/6:16 for 2K unless you have a st...

Re: Ranger's training thread
it is all pure fantasy Nope. Just the opposite, Roy. Learning to row well is just hard work and takes a while to get done. Fantasy is thinking, as Brunsle does, that an accomplishment like learning to row well when you are 60 just comes out of the blue, that it _can't_ come from prolonged, purposef...

Re: Ranger's training thread
If you want to work hard and achieve something significant then I don't think anyone would belittle you for saying it, especially if asked. Really? Happy to hear that. I didn't think you were saying that at all. In fact, I thought that you said explicitly that being humble is regarding what you do ...

Re: Ranger's training thread
If you work hard and do something significant, I don't think there is any reason at all not to say so. Why not call a spade a spade? Why lie? Sorry. But if I meet all of my distance targets and pull a lwt 6:16 2K at 60, in this sport, it will be a pretty significant affair. It will absolutely (gobs...

Re: Ranger's training thread
There have been countless things that were significant and that were done selflessly. Naw. Don't believe it for a minute. Most significant accomplishment is just self-expression. And what isn't self-expression is self-interested. Given a Christian context, in the West, much of the apparently selfle...

Re: Ranger's training thread

Re: Ranger's training thread
[ No one is disputing the fact you were once a world class erg'er Serious? What exactly is a "world class" erg'er? Seems to be the equivalent of a world class stationary trainer rider or a world class treadmill runner. There's nothing world class about erging. It's not a sport, it has a very, very ...

Re: Ranger's training thread
Earlier when asking for evidence I stated that a simple screenshot at the end of one of your 10K or 20K workouts you say you do everyday would be plenty of evidence. You completely ignored that post yet you chose to address other posts, I don't understand not only your hesitation to provide the evid...

Re: Ranger's training thread
Mike VB is a typical case in point. Four years ago Mike pulled a 6:45 2K OTErg. From here on out, Mike will have a hard time pulling 7:00. Mike's 2K times OTErg are declining--precipitously--even though he is taking the very best advice available in order to try to get better. ranger He leaves out ...

Re: Ranger's training thread
But if we followed you blindly for the 10 years and it turned out you were wrong you would have severely injured our ability to improve our rowing. Not really, because, following the major training plans for rowing that are currently available, veteran rowers just get worse and worse--precipitously...

Re: Ranger's training thread
So by your assertion Mike can increase his power 50% from where he is now simply by adjusting his technique. For that matter I guess you are saying that every veteran rower, now and for all of rowing history has had such poor technique that the same would be true of them. I would be fascinated to s...
