Rowing with Greater Intensity

[@lil_swarlette]

sotampacane With regards to the damper setting, if you look on the second page of the main menu (assuming you're using Concept 2) there should be an option for 'Display Drag Factor' or something to that effect. Select this and row a few strokes. It should display a number. Ideally to replicate the feeling of being on water the drag factor should be around 120-130. If the number displayed is lower than 120, bump up the damper setting on the side of the machine. If the number displayed is higher than 130, lower the damper setting. Once you are happy, go back to the main menu and select your workout as normal. Hope this helps, I row for my local club and we always do this as soon as we sit down on the machine.

[@fitnessproductreviews5856]

The Concept 2 is a fine indoor trainer. There are five of these in my gym. It's the best out there

[@adamroberts8726]

yea got the model d cannot agree more

[@michaelsmilowitzz]

@sotampacane the 3 or 4 resistance level is recommended because it is most similar to the resistance of the water. You can adjust it based on your preference

[@deenahejaz9233]

You get so many blisters from rowing man!!

[@gmnotyet]

That means you are gripping the handle too hard. Lighten up.

[@gabrielherman8930]

No necessarily, blisters are a normal part of rowing

[@LoveCoffee123]

Awesome technique!

[@aishafolami8323]

I love rowing and I am only 11. My secondary school provides rowing machines and I have attended many tournaments. I dont know why I like it so much

[@offendedandunsubscribed7450]

Nobody knows why, that's the beauty of rowing

[@milosslavkovic7239]

You love it as much as you hate it. And by hating I mean,getting up every morning,coming home broken apart etc. I do it for 3 years now..16 medals,best 3 years of my life so far.

[@jakovbizaca5733]

+Miloš Slavković odakle si?

[@kreed1004]

because you're awesome

[@blinkrose6650]

Aisha Folami sane only I’m 12

[@tonesterau]

Ahh! Erg technique! everyone's an expert.

[@archiej6386]

Lol, you can see her arms aren t relaxed and her biceps are clearly activated in the pull, her butt shoots forward at the end of the stroke and she clearly strains her neck, she could also reach further forward and keep the chain in the top half of the catch box

[@glaros0]

She has a very smooth stroke cycle, thumbs up!

[@TonySousa]

Useful video - well explained. Thanks for sharing. TT

[@eugenechernyavsky5185]

Thank you Concept2 Australia's Channel for nice review! 🚣🤗

[@СветланаИванова-о8ж8в]

Приобрела такую модель, спасибо ребятам из Зоны Спорта, рассказали какую лучше выбрать, что в нем есть, с чего лучше начинать, чтобы не отбило желание тренироваться.

[@johnwilliamgull]

@kijkij300 Put it on the lowest resistance. The largest part of the stroke is in your leg muscles using you core to stabilise. If you try to do a few long Heart Rate pieces a week your legs should start to get stronger.

[@paddlingfan1]

Here's the workout machine I've been using for the last 3 weeks at the Streamwood Park District. I've been going 5 days a week. I'm hoping to maintain the great shape I'm in from paddling hard once a week this last year. Last night I was on this machine for an hour. It's a really good workout to say the least. I'm much more toned in just 3 weeks.

[@LondonCallingRow]

Her form is basically perfect. The hand drop after the knees is unnecessary unless you are a rower on the water. (Which I assume she is)

[@teddyagp7864]

I'm new to rowing. How do I get sub 2:00 500m? I tried pushing as hard as I could, and I could only get 2:25. Pretty sure I push as hard as she is in the video. Does the length of your leg matter in getting faster pace? I am 5'10", 185 lbs

[@arcusg6988]

+Teddy AGP You'll learn how to properly apply power over the duration of the whole stroke through experience, which you'll get from the more time you spend rowing. I don't know what rate you go at, but a higher rate gets the flywheel moving so it's easier to get lower splits per stroke but it's more tiring, too. if you'r just doing a 500m piece, try going anywhere from a 30 to a 34 s/m for beginners.

[@jasong5916]

Teddy AGP I have tried using workouts such as 1000 meters on and 1 min rest 4 times. I try to sustain a 1:45 the entire time. Slowly start to do longer workouts and you will improve greatly. 5'9" 135 lbs 14 years old. my 2k is also a 7:24 because of it

[@Normanskie]

Had to smile at this, I did 500 metres and the last 100 was hell for leather where I was pretty wrecked afterwards and then had a ischemic myocardial infarction so now I just take it steady and plod. O well at least I haven't given up.

[@kreed1004]

you're probably going to have another one

[@aroundandround]

If you play the video at 0.25x, you can see her starting to bend her elbows midway through the leg straightening. Isn’t arm bend supposed to happen later? Her arm bend does happen a bit later when she slows down her stroke rate.

[@sprinlketinkle]

if done correctly the rowing machine is a 'killer!' phew!! 😥💪😧😄

[@KashifJavedForex]

I am disable by legs and my legs have no much power. I cannot push myself like in this video. So can I use this machine in some way to power up my leg mussels??

[@sotampacane]

One thing not commented on is the resistance handle. She seems to have it at 3 or 4. i always put it at 10 because I've just assumed that is what you do. Can you comment on that? Perhaps I will just try it at a lower # and I might be able to answer it myself. I usually do 5k's in the low 20 min range, 2k's just under 8K or the 9x1:40 around 1:52 pace. I'd like to improve but there is no one at my gym that has a clue about this machine

[@Jez1963UK]

You need to learn about Drag Factor - that is found under the Options setting on the computer. Basically, you need to row at a Drag Factor of 125-135. And that Resistance handle helps you to control that. New machines tend to have a Resistance Handle set to something like 5 or 6 (maybe 7 even) but as the machines get used (at a gym) and old (at a gym), things wear out and you need to push that dial higher towards the 10 mark. BUT.... the only way to test what to set it to is as already mentioned, by going into the Options Settings and testing the Drag Factor.

[@sotampacane]

Why is everything a competition? Who says it is better? It may be better if you are hurt and can't take the pounding, but I burn a lot more calories running then I do on the erg.

[@KashifJavedForex]

@johnwilliamgull thanks for your reply.

[@JoeyzMindSet]

Is it just me, or do you find that setting the resistance to 3 or 4 is actually easier than 0?

[@cheeriosaltcream]

Why is a short recovery bad? All it means is that you get to maintain more of the momentum form your last stroke.

[@Digm4]

+BK201MXP When you drive, the boat is already moving. When 1000 pounds of weight recovers at the same time it will stop the boat from moving. You in fact lose momentum from your last stroke.

[@mabryscubaadventures]

is a 6:47 2k any good? i pulled that last week

[@bigjon18680]

It works literally you're entire core. You push with your legs, use stomach muscles for support, and use arms to pull ( though more power should be in the legs) Don't quote me though, I haven't done crew/row that wrong.

[@janwillemhermans]

Just exhale during the drive and inhale during the recovery. There are various workouts, but if you're looking to build up some lung workout, do a 60 min at rate 21

[@adsensedd]

Watching these videos has made me realise I am too upright while rowing. Good rowers really lean forward.

[@Jez1963UK]

Improve your hip mobility. Stretches are VERY important. Yoga will help you.

[@AFROzNINJA]

not terrible, if your a girl its amazing. after about 11 months i was rowing at about a 1:37. i am also 200 lbs so it really depends on your weight

[@numbernine8571]

you're

[@CrOnIKRm125]

fuckin love thies rowing thingies

[@Reatheryn]

Very well played... :D I am an elite junior heawyweight and i won´t stand it longer than 4 mins...

[@germans1]

As a personal goal. I am working up to 26 miles on the rower. I am currently up to 11 miles doing a gentle pace about 7.5min miles. But I find when I get to the 10 mile mark the bottom of my butt and top of my hamstrings go numb. Any tips to get through this anybody?

[@Theglenn0o0o]

germans1 goalkeeper shorts/padded shorts,

[@tatejackson5648]

This is nice bro

[@dreamismelul]

[@JesusChrist.4BC]

dreamismelul what's the point in anything?

[@kreed1004]

What's her name?

[@ollymona]

[@TarragoLucas]

guys i have 13 years old, i started rowing 11 months ago, i do 500m in 1:43, is this a good time?

[@ZamolxisReborn]

do moderate intensity for five minutes, then take it up for a couple...talk then. ...after you throw up.

[@shaye708]

She is breaking her arms to fast, that's gonna hurt after a while..

[@microphon3]

@Madorem I have done 203K in 1 month and 9 days.....yay me?

[@pillar6090]

she needs to keep her hands straight on the way up to the catch

[@35ozgur]

I am rowing 12,000 meters at gym better than running

[@larsm4249]

sie muss weiter mit dem Griff nach vorne!!!!

[@00Turbocharged00]

ive done a 10k in one day at 2k pace

[@janwillemhermans]

I'm dutch, so sorry for my English

[@123poofya]

@CrOnIKRm125 do crew. you will hate them.

[@TheChangewave]

amazing legs! I gotta date a rower

[@spencerchu5452]

She needs more ratio

[@connorchatterton7797]

Her form isn't really that good she's doing way too much arms not enough legs

[@jakovbizaca5733]

i had a same problem. she doesnt stretch arms enough

[@Cocoon3748]

her technique is hurting me. .(she needs to me her wrist flat)

[@SKATEPASSION97]

Its average

[@barrypreshner7188]

I have just started rowing & the video I have been training with suggests that the hands should go past the knees from the catch before you push back with your legs? Can someone please advise. Thnks

[@havoc873]

Ugh... I absolutely hate indoor rowing.
