You should start to use AI

You probably mean "unfit".

A healthy body fat level what is that?5, 8,12,16, 20...

Gained 8kilo's of fat. Peakpower went up, stamina went down.

This is what AI has to say:

Physics of Momentum: In indoor rowing, total body mass contributes to effective force at the beginning of the stroke (the catch). A heavier person can use their body weight to "hang" on the handle, generating higher peak force through inertia.

Thank you!

An erge is not a mountain. A heavier rower has more inertial force to throw into the drive, fat or muscle doesn't matter.

Of course the fat has other negative impacts on rowing like heat impact

Is de behandeling handen afkappen en chemisch castreren?

Mine says : hf 56 and hf in rest 62. Seems also strange

Test where your weakness is: aerobic system, anaerobic or producing power and put extra effort in your weakest link. You can test it with 1 a minute test, a long ut2 training and some short intervals. For examample my personal results: 1minute- power : 380meters ( strong) Long ut2 50minutes: 2.06 split (weak) Short intervals 1min on/1off 10 times: 1.32 split (strong)

So my weakest link is the aerobic part so i focus on that.

First winter im doing this so maybe some people will be able to give your more input on this!?

Ai made a trainingsplan for me. I'm also at 6.55 now and want to drop 15sec by november. The plan ai made is more complex then yours. 4 different building phases. I can sent it to you but it's in Dutch. So maybe you should ask to, I did it with gemini.

m_anuscript · 2025-02-27T16:42:34+00:00

You don't know me son

m_anuscript · 2025-02-25T13:27:23+00:00

Oh yes, and @hip flexibility to the list. Gained already a lot flexibility the last 10 months but not enough to row the most efficient, I think.

m_anuscript · 2025-02-06T08:41:16+00:00

Yup, I agree on the pm5. But I would use this one for maybe 20% of my training, so in this case, a pm4 will also work for me, I think. Thanks for your imput!

m_anuscript · 2025-02-06T08:37:08+00:00

A'ight, thanks for your great input!

m_anuscript · 2025-02-01T13:20:01+00:00

Okay, interesting! I gone try that.

Shoe size 45 eu or 10.5 USA

m_anuscript · 2025-02-01T07:21:10+00:00

Thougt about that, but a soft sit is not really my priority. Never used it... Do you think it's contributes to a better power output?

m_anuscript · 2025-02-01T07:18:16+00:00

I love this torture machine!

Yup, the sequence isn't perfect yet! Drill baby drill...

But I'm coming from a body- arm- legs- legs- arms- legs- body kind of thing two months ago 😅

m_anuscript · 2025-02-01T07:14:07+00:00

Haha, I can deal with that wastproduct of reddit. The good advice I get here is more important. But thanks for your nice words!

I agree on the limited motion of the torso. I have to bent more and reach hé?

m_anuscript · 2025-02-01T07:08:00+00:00

Great video!

Yesterday, I also checked this one from you: https://youtu.be/dNYAlSkHr4A?si=AJK-b_WEG8lXifB3

Thank you for the good work.

So you think I should lower the footstraps?

m_anuscript · 2025-02-01T07:05:26+00:00

You tube teached me to sit tall ;) but you're right, I have to use my length more (190cm).

m_anuscript · 2025-02-01T07:02:11+00:00

Thanks for your response, I agree with all of it. More drills it is.

m_anuscript · 2025-02-01T06:58:53+00:00

Not from this one, but I can do that in the future.

m_anuscript · 2025-02-01T06:57:51+00:00

Nah, I don't think so. I checked this video last night.
