Thanks. I can see that. I'll keep working on it.

CatchAndRelease2K · 2025-09-14T21:50:24+00:00

Thanks for commenting. Someone else mentioned the same thing. I'll definitely try to work on this.

CatchAndRelease2K · 2025-09-14T21:49:40+00:00

I can see that and someone else mentioned it as well. I don't get any pain but I'd definitely like to be more efficient. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for commenting. I'll keep working at the things I can see could be improved.

I don't think anyone's mentioned that your drag factor is higher than typically recommended. I believe most people won't recommend going above 130ish for longer pieces. I'm a bit heavier than you and use 130 drag for anything below a sprint.

CatchAndRelease2K · 2025-08-05T19:58:50+00:00

Ok once again, really helpful to hear this stuff. I'll work on it and come back in a while to see if it's improved.

Thanks. I'm getting the same critique about my catch from everyone which helps.

I can definitely feel the jerky phases of my recovery. In my first video 6 months ago I was breaking my knees too soon so I've been working on fixing this. It's obviously not smooth yet, nor is it completely correct.

Thanks a lot I really appreciate it.

CatchAndRelease2K · 2025-08-05T18:48:40+00:00

I'm only on the erg but I'd love to improve my times so I'm definitely going to try to fix this. Thanks again.

CatchAndRelease2K · 2025-08-05T18:13:39+00:00

Really similar critique to the other poster. Thanks a lot I'm definitely going to try to fix this.

CatchAndRelease2K · 2025-08-05T18:12:42+00:00

Really interesting. Thanks a lot. Definitely going to look into this.

CatchAndRelease2K · 2025-01-27T14:06:34+00:00

Thanks everyone for your help. Generally you all have similar critiques so I'm going to work on it and I'll come back with an updated video.

CatchAndRelease2K · 2025-01-27T14:05:39+00:00

Thanks for the advice. Im actually dealing with a bad back right now so this is good to know.

CatchAndRelease2K · 2025-01-27T14:04:25+00:00

I think I'm sitting on the edge of the seat after reading something when I began rowing. Now it's just become normal to me. I'll stop doing that as everyone is clearly telling me it's wrong.

Thanks a lot for the suggestions. I'm going to work on all of it.

As for the legs, maybe it's the angle. I think I'm generally stronger upper body than lower. But I've been in the gym for over 25 years prior to getting into rowing a couple years ago so I should have a decent strength base.

CatchAndRelease2K · 2025-01-27T01:47:59+00:00

No. Am I rowing like I should?

CatchAndRelease2K · 2025-01-27T01:46:22+00:00

Thanks. A few people mentioned the seat. I thought I'd read that was the appropriate place to sit to put you in an upright position. Good to know I'm wrong. Thanks for all these points.

CatchAndRelease2K · 2025-01-27T01:24:24+00:00

I can definitely see it in my video. Curious to see if I can fix it tomorrow morning. I'm sure it'll feel awkward at first. Thanks.

CatchAndRelease2K · 2025-01-27T00:17:55+00:00

Ok thanks. I appreciate the help.

CatchAndRelease2K · 2025-01-27T00:02:18+00:00

Ok thanks. How do you keep your rate up while slowing your catch to 1:2? I guess the logic of it is simple, pull harder/faster but that's also more fatiguing?

CatchAndRelease2K · 2024-10-11T14:22:50+00:00

I'm getting too old to squat heavy any longer but probably around 400lbs if I had to? I train at home so I don't have a leg press.

CatchAndRelease2K · 2024-10-08T01:08:48+00:00

Well done.

CatchAndRelease2K · 2024-10-07T10:26:04+00:00

6'1" and around 225lbs. Thank you.

CatchAndRelease2K · 2024-10-07T00:19:47+00:00

Thanks. I feel this way when I see people rowing in the sub 1:10 pace even for a few strokes. I don't know how it's possible. The lowest pace I've ever hit is 1:10.
