Concept2 Forum

I've thought about doing that very thing...but usually just ask my wife to come and hold the handle while I oil the chain.

We have to keep our families involved and engaged in the time of Covid.

I don't think it's just the Navy.

A neighbor in the U.S. Army (Reserves) mentioned that in his forthcoming physical, rowing was one of the options aside from other relatively new alternatives to running.

Never have used gloves.

Adidas "Samba" works well for me as a rowing shoe on the erg. (And deadlifting if I don't put on my dedicated weight training shoes.)

Since most of your activity, (music, exercise etc) requires gripping, I'm going to recommend that you do some extension exercises with your fingers such as would be done with spreading your fingers against the force exerted by rubber bands.

It appears to be back working correctly as it logged both my workouts from Friday as well as today.

(I had made no changes to ErgData nor PM5...just waited it out.)

I'm going to guess that it's some sort of issue on C2's end since a few of us are having the problem (and for the first time). Hopefully they'll get it resolved. If not, I guess I'll just be satisfied with the the info in the ErgData app and the PM5. It's not like I spend a lot of time referring to ...

I got the same message on Friday after attempting to sync. First time I've ever had such a message in the year and a half I've had my rower. (I am using PM5, not PM3 as poster above reported.)

The trap bar deadlift is far more of a quad dominant movement than a deadlift with a traditional straight barbell which puts far more force on your posterior chain. Any niggles with the back I would be avoiding the straight bar completely. I would argue that it is not quad dominant but does involve...

I've been using them for many years and have two. One 45 lb version I use for my deadlift warm-up sets and also Pendlay rows, and one 80 lb version that I use for for my deadlift work sets.

Fantastic equipment I wouldn't be without.

(Mine are olympic bars...I have no experience with 1" models.)

I try to keep moving...via very slow full or partial rowing strokes...while anticipating the "dreaded" moment of kicking off the next interval.

It sucks...in a good way.

Never mind...there's apparently some miscommunication / misunderstanding here and I don't think it's worth getting off into the weeds over.

I'll leave it at that.

As I suspected: Quoted from the ErgData info on the C2 site: Supports Bluetooth Smart Heart Rate Belts The Garmin chest belt, (at least the one most of us seem to be using), is ANT+...not bluetooth. So the ErgData app receives the heart rate info via communication with the PM5 (via bluetooth), not d...

Or put Ergdata on your phone and pair your phone with the PM5 and Ergdata will remember your belt.

I never noticed that. I always thought that ErgData was getting the info from the PM5. Does it pick up the heart rate monitor independent of the PM5 on both ios and android?

It must be paired in the manner you described each time it is used. Just the way that the system is set up, unfortunately.

Welcome to the forum.

... Unfortunately, it seems I've hurt my back doing deadlifts this week. Significant sciatic pain radiating down the back of my right leg has me concerned. I'm resting now, but I'm very concerned. I had no injuries since I started seriously rowing one year ago. Your form may be the cause but of cou...
