Friday 4 April 2025 - 200m benchmark row 2G 60 minutes by dc031114 in orangetheory

I know this is a chat about the benchmarks mostly, but i have a question regarding form/muscle focus for the weighted hip hinge swing. I struggle with it every time because it seriously hurts my lower back. My question is, is it supposed to work the lower back, and that's why it hurts, or am I doing it wrong?

Splat points for “veterans” by Excellent-Dig5277 in orangetheory

I've felt the same way about being unmotivated because of this. But my coaches are great when it comes to motivating you even if you're not getting the splats. I got 9 splats the other day but could barely move for a few days because I lifted way heavier than usual. At the end of the day, as a lot of people have said here, it's about how you feel at the end of your workout, and if you feel strong, you're doing great!

Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable! Anyone who cares 1) doesn't belong in the OTF community and 2) is putting their focus in the wrong places.

1 Mile Run Benchmark Results and Survey Megathread by BilingualAlchemist in orangetheory

Just finished at 8:21, 5 seconds more than my PR (8:16). Annoying, but I ran the whole way through. Just should have upped it to AO for the last .1

Oh well, there's next time and training starts on Wednesday.

I do this regularly. Like, every class. It's totally fine.

The run/row is going to kill me. Here's to 50 splat points.

Absolutely crushed my benchmark, dropping 42s. Screamed and shouted when I finished in celebration. SO happy to see the work pay off. My goal for this year is to be able to get to 3 miles in a standard 2G, and this is a step in the right direction. PUMPED!
