Thanks for the replies, I will see how it goes for a while without gloves and go from there, I think it was the mountain bike glove that gave me the blister, obviously they aren't designed for the job although they have been fine up until now.

Thanks,
Yes I certainly felt that one!!
I may try that, I started with bare hands but didn't use hand cream etc so ended up using mountain bike gloves but that last row has given me a blister.

Thanks again for the informative reply, I tried 3 x 18 mins with 2 mins rest in between and finished with a 4 min row, I tried to keep between 17 & 24 spm and pulled harder, I managed a total of 11100 metres, with an average of 2:42.0 /500 and a best of 2:32 /500, an average of 82 watts with a best ...

Thanks for that, I wasn't really comparing to anyone on here just averages that I had found when looking online for someone of my height, i also have short legs and a belly which obviously affects stroke length, I will try to slow down and spend more time on recovery and see how that goes, appreciat...

Thanks for the information, i will check tomorrow.

Ok thanks, i have cleaned the fan cage out a couple of times so its probably not that and i have watched quite a few videos and think my form isn't too bad, i know the sequence of leg drive, body swing and arm pull, i did check the drag factor a while back but will check it again.

Hi all, Apologies if this is the wrong section, does anyone know how accurate a 2021 PM3 monitor is please? i'm 5ft 6in, fairly stocky, not weak, with a short inside leg measurement and overweight which i know affects overall stroke length/watt generation etc and i can only generate around 80 watts ...
