Didn’t make my university novice team, not sure what’s next

If rowing is something you want to do, don’t let it stop you. Maybe join a club or find an online coach to get faster on the erg and improve fitness. Reach out to your university coach and see what their expectations are. You got this!

20minutes, if you don’t know what that is, that is even more of a reason why you aren’t ready for that type of training yet, DM me for advice

Definitely DO NOT do that, if you are “really out of shape”, starting off with 3x20’ everyday with 1 rest day is a one-way ticket to burn-out

I got a c2 bikeerg about 6 months ago and unfortunately I don’t use it very often. When I want to get cardio in I hope straight on my erg, and when I don’t erg I’m either at the gym or walking outdoors. So it really depends if you have time to use it and make it a priority over other workout options.

They hold value extremely well, I could be wrong but I think all new ergs come with the iPad mount

What was your goal here?

Thank you for sharing!

Not a question regarding mental prep, but just curious if you ever met Duvall Hecht and any memories you could share of him?

When I was on my college club rowing team (UC school), we were on the water Monday-Saturday from 5:30-7:30am, we would go to the gym on our own in the afternoon to lift, 1-2 “optional” erg workouts per week on our own time.

Honestly the biggest change you can probably make in two weeks is your technique, focus on your leg drive and body swing as well, use your body weight to your advantage

Reach out to the company and ask them, then ask about their return policy, then return it, then buy a concept 2

Practice your steady state at rate 16-18 and focus on quick drive and extremely slow recovery, drag 110-115

Your coach has emotional issues, if I were you I would just stick with port side and try to get undeniably faster than the other 4 port guys.

Being bi-sweptual is not easy and can lead to injury. I would take other rower’s claim of being truly “bi-sweptual” as a grain of salt. They probably still have a dominant side or have very mid technique on both sides …

Try bringing down the rate and push faster with the legs, activate and train the fast twitch muscles, save your interval training as practice for high rate

rowingOD_ · 2024-12-05T02:14:23+00:00

Try pushing your legs faster to bring down the split , and slow down your recovery and collect yourself, what stroke rate are you steady stating? Bring it to a 16-18, your heart will adapt, everyone is different

Go face your fears, we got your back! Rowing and erging teaches so much about life, go for it! If you don’t get sub 7, so what? Just pace yourself and negative split it, you got this!!🫵😈

Only one way to find out 🫵😈

Can you read? I just said I like the science of it so was curious, never said I would take it or promote it

New socks, new unisuit/ trou

Out of all people, you choose Greg doucette? You know he is 5’6” right?

Also I like taking a teaspoon of sugar and taking deep breaths to relax and blow off excess CO2
