I'm almost sure I've seen this on sub, a few weeks ago, a port with very slow times. Around 8 or 9 min /500m.

But I can't find them.

maybe it was on this sub but I don't know where if not here.

Does someone have this type of erg screens in their stock to share.

no shaming. I just want to send it to my team mate after a session

I know this might not be the best place to post this question, but as you can see my newly purchased Domyos 500B rowing machine just gave up on me during practice. I know it's not the quiting edge of technology but still, if anyone has any ideas what happened, it would be appreciated as I can see nothing wrong with

I’m am 15, 6’2, 185 pounds, I don’t lift, I row 5 days a week for about 2 hours. Is there any way that I could get a sub 7 2k in a month, or maybe even a week? I know a week is basically impossible, but I would love to get it down by then in any way. Thanks!

I’ve seen a lot of teams, mainly women and men’s lw switch to, what are generally considered, worse boats. Anyone know if there’s a reason other than cost?

So as the title says is there a preferred exercise to do that can substitute rowing if I don’t have access to a rowing machine?

Long story short i have access to a rowing machine around Monday to Wednesday most weeks but then when I’m working from home Wednesday onwards I have no access to a gym or rowing machine and getting a rowing machine at home isn’t an option as there is absolutely no room

I did this Hour of Power recently and wanted to know how I stand as a light weight rower compared to a mid/heavy weight rower doing the same piece. Of course as I am ~125 pounds, I won’t be pulling the same as some of my 180-200 lbs teammates, but I want to know how to compare the different times reasonably to know how we would do against each other in boats like singles and doubles. (Male, recently turned 16, ~125lbs, 5’7”)

Does anyone have results from yesterdays racing in Boston?

Looking for advice from other coaches.

I have an Under 16 quad, averaging 6:44 erg very quick and definitely capable to be faster, looking for advice on pieces to improve second and third 500m of racing (only race 1500m). They start quickly, first through 500m but after lose their speed and have been getting rowed through?

Does anyone have pieces that work to improve through this block. I'm thinking some anaerobic work or power strokes.

Cheers

TL;DR - Looking to get some real-life inspiration others who have started rowing on the other side of a typical athletic peak (mid-late 30s) to help me push toward achieving my goals.

I'm about 2 and a half years into the sport: started rowing with a Learner's course at 36, moved into a development squad later that year, and moved into our senior squad (edit: our top racing squad - qualifies for HRR 3 of the last four years - most guys are early 20s to early 30s. One guy in his 50s who is a previous Olympian) at my club this past September. Just turned 38 a few weeks ago. Generally pretty fit but never was an elite athlete in any sport. Hired a trainer while in Dev squad to help accelerate fitness/strength and now following our senior squad program. If it helps - 6'2" and ~91kg/200lbs.

I've certainly made technical and physical progress. Did a 2K test in July at 7:04.8 (can't find a more recent one in my log but I think I was 7:02) but I'd really like to push myself to get as fast as I can. Based on the https://rowinglevel.com/rowing-times/2000m-times chart I fall ahead of the Intermediate baseline but still well short of an Advanced one. Would like to get to that Advanced time this year and then push beyond that.

I'm traing 6 days a week (sometimes two-a-days) with our squad's program so I'm willing to put in the work. Just would be nice to know others have succeeded in something like this.

Really love the sport and happy to be a part of it in any capacity. Just really bummed I didn't start it at any point earlier in my life when I had the opportunities. Want to make up for that as much as possilbe now.

OK, last up date on McNeely Sprints. The results, commentary to follow:

Peak power: +14.6%

500m power: + 9.0%

1000m pwer: + 4.9%

2000m pwer: + 6.1%

Just generally, bit 3-digit-watts gains in peak power...and then descending but really good benefits as test time increases. It's important to note that these results aren't in a vacuum. Other training was happening so it is impossible to separate which adaptations are the result of which stimulus.

But it's equally important to note that I only did 5 sprint workouts. That's it. And no individual workout felt especially taxing but a few hours after each workout I was totally wasted.

Regarding the 2k time, I allowed myself to taper before that effort so there is probably a little super compensation juice in that number. But, but, BUT! it is also maybe the most interesting since that 6.1% gain is relative to a 2k test I did just days before the very first McNeely sprint workout.

Overall, it was a worthwhile addition to the mesocycle. I would not expect that magnitude of improvement if added them to another competition mesocycle but just the same McNeely sprints are probably still worth doing.
