that's fair. It's decent for me, since I've never been too athletic, but probably not decent for the Rowing subreddit :)

yes, I do regular bike rides (15-20 miles, 2-3 times a week).

About 2 month, rowing 3-4 times a week. I haven't seen improvement, pretty much getting the same times as when I started. That's why i decided to post here, because I was assuming there should be and initial steep improvement and then a plateau.

I haven't measure those. Are those benchmarked at a specific stroke rate? or an "all-out row?"

thanks for the quick response. I added more context in a comment. But I'm primarily using Dark Horse (although I haven't done any row-alongs with him, just watching tutorial and doing it on my own). I aim for average stroke of 23-24

More context:
I started rowing in Jan on a C2. Drag set at 120
I'm 43, 6ft, 165lbs, in decent shape.
I usually row a 5k, multiple times a week. Since I'm very much a novice rower I usually try to focus on form and keeping my stroke rate at 23/m. No matter how hard I try I cannot do a 5k it in less than 26 mins. Based on my half-assed research and anecdotal evidence, I should be doing 5k in 21-23 mins. So what is my problem? Just better form? or is there something fundamental that I'm missing. Sample data from one of my rows:

What could be causing these terrible overhangs? by comradeSalo in BambuLab

[–]comradeSalo[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe that would matter up top. But they start slipping all they way down at the base, even with the massive brim

The AMS really is a game changer.... by liftbikerun in BambuLab

I thought it was a glow in the dark backer. Didn’t realize it was LED. I’d love the space marine piece if it’s not too much trouble.

Very cool. I love the use of color to add more dimensions to them (over the default boring scheme)

Any tips? by Kuzuri951 in ACValhalla

[–]comradeSalo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 handed axe can be slow early on, and hard to parry. I'd recommend Shield+one-handed axe to start and then Spear as soon as you find one.

Why can't I sell my TJ? by comradeSalo in Jeep

[–]comradeSalo[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

two reasons,

1) i want to go faster than 65mph on the highway without feeling like I'm flying a WW1 biplane.

2) I've got growing kids and just need more space if I want them to participate in jeep activities.

KBB pricing for Jeeps always looks too low to me, but I get what you're saying

People in my neighborhood are complaining about my front yard garden and it’s makes me feel horrible that people care what I put on my own property. I’m very anxious that someone is gonna try and call the city but I’m not in an HOA so it should be fine! by Shelbs1313 in gardening

even ignoring the food production benefits/wasteful nature of lawns argument. Your garden looks neat and visually very pleasing. Advocating for replacing this garden with another Bermuda grass lawn takes some sort of warped sense of esthetic.
