... I encourage folks who want to put on muscle mass to lift 3-4 times a week, and row on days you don't lift. More common would be rowing hard 2-3 times/week and stacking 2 days of lifting on the same days as hard rowing . Then filling in one or two rest days and several long rows each week. This ...

Hey, With the new ErgData app i am figuring out that i am always in my zone 4 of HR. And i always rowed like that, so i am figuring out that during a whole year (+1million meters) i am working at zone 4. I tried to keep zone 3, but i can’t produce anything ans i feel like it’s a useless training fo...

You could watch TV and do a HM if you did your splits 10 seconds slower. You would have died way sooner with 10 second faster splits. Your first HM had too aggressive a pace. Everyone does that on one piece or another, and handle down is not a bad solution. You are ready for you next HM attempt when...

I recently bought a refurbished 2021 Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet ...

Thank you for posting. I have a (2019 Release) 10" fire and was going to try the same steps. Since they didn't work for you I'll wait a bit longer before trying it.

My question is how much? I can row 3k at 3.15 pace with HR peaking at 114 and I'm not out of breath when I'm finished and I feel good. .I'm conscious of not over doing it. I have often been jumping on the erg 4 to five times per day and doing 1000m steady, just to keep moving. Not many people own u...

Interesting that a moderator can remove her comment following the appearance of a subsequent comment but same impossible for the rank and file.

Grin. I'm glad the mods have the power. They do a great job pruning away the spam. (when was the last time you saw anything cringe on this forum).

I have lifted on and off over the years but never enough to get a good squat due to hip, and consequently back issues. I think that this pace was all down to the 'audience effect' and finding some inner strength to not let myself down and having people roaring me on. I'm usually on my own, with onl...

Are you continuing the CrossFit and adding the rowing, or substituting rowing for some of the CrossFit sessions ? How many zones in your model? 3? 5? 6? (What heartrate are you targeting for your zone 2 work?) Hi Tsnor, Yes, keeping the 4-5 crossfit session/week and adding the rower (more methodica...

.. I managed to get under 1:20 for the one minute thrash..

nice. You lift, or is the power all coming from rowing ? Under 1:20 (680 watts) is pretty strong. If lifting, what sort of leg press weight or squat weight do you use ?

crossfit for 3yrs, 4-5 times a week, and wont to develop VO2x by HIIT. Using rower for 6 month, 2-3 times a week for recovery and cardiac output training, usually 30-40min, steady pace HR zone 2. Are you continuing the CrossFit and adding the rowing, or substituting rowing for some of the CrossFit ...

I have patellofemoral arthritis in one knee after a reconstruction so get crepitus/inflammation if I go about bending the knee more than 20 degrees. You likely got physical therapy after the reconstruction. Was the therapist any good? If so talk to them. If not get a referral for a new therapist fr...

The data for each workout includes the drag factor.....this is consistently around 116-119, despite showing 133 on the "display drag factor screen". Neat. You are setting drag factor correctly using the only procedure. Good. Downloaded workouts can't change the drag factor. Your drag factor is 133 ...

To double check. Sit on the erg. Knees bent, shins vertical, leaning toward flywheel, arms out straight. Handle very close to the flywheel. Everything dead stop. Now Push away from the flywheels using only your legs. Nothing else changes. Keep leaning toward fkywheel, keep arms straight. Keep the ha...

..Usually at the finish my wrist will end in lateral flexion so that all my fingers are engaged evenly on the handle, but in an effort to find the cause of the numbness I've recently been holding my wrist straight at the finish, which means the handle is at an angle under my fingers. .. You want yo...

On August second, 2022, World Rowing announced the regulations governing the 2023 Championships. The age group categories utilized previously, which included five-year intervals from 50 to 100, have been replaced by five-year intervals from 50 to 70, and a last category of 70+. This change seems un...
