agree looked like he rowed a 6:32 which is fairly elite-ish, given how he didn't fall off the chair, probably even had more in the tank too

Not that bad

Henry Ginn bruh which college is that. 7 mins is the minimum standard to beat in the beginning. Most highschool kids go faster than 7

Exeter college. Most people in the club right now started rowing last year as some of the more senior rowers graduated/quit to focus more in their final year. College level rowing is reasonably casual, but the top crews in division 1 will train a lot more intensely, and the crew in the top boat for the uni will mostly all have sub 6 minute times. We wouldn’t not allow someone in the boat club because they were too slow, it’s just for fun and they would just go in a lower level boat. Also it’s been a long time since we did a 2k test, there’s probably a lot more sub 7s now. My last one was 6:37

hi ! I'm also into these kind of challenges. I would recommand you to row 5k a few times per week to improve your endurance, and manage a few days for recuperation before the 2k. If you fail before the end, keep the pace in mind so that you can lower it for the next time, or make a slower start (500m gradually which works for me). The drag factor can be set higher if you want to avoid "heart beat" at the end of each strokes, or lower if you feel it's too hard at the catch. Good luck !

andynogueras Age is a number. I’m about to be 54 and I can go under 7 for 2000 meters on the concept rower. Actually, I’ll do an hour of weights and finish with a 2000 meter row in just over 7 minutes. I do have a distance running background, so I think the mental fortitude translates over.

you can check the drag factor of your current machine in the settings somewhere. Set it to the same value on both machines and the resistance will be the same.

Patrick O'Boyle im 150 pulled 6.41 but i row and trust me that's shit

Scott Smith How old are you?

18

Scott Smith You finished in the top 50 in the world rankings last year. I would say that’s damn good.

I’m 16 154 with a 6 53

I know what you're saying, having done alot of long distance running at 6 mins mile pace. It's brutal, but it comes down to intensity for me. Try doing anything at max capacity and after 15-20 secs you'll reach failure. To row you're best 2000m you should be going fairly close to max. And this discipline is unlike running in that you will have to use you arms much more heavily. You'll be using around 85% of muscle. When going at max on the rower 10 seconds can feel like an eternity. But I take your point. It's quite different to hours of pain, just not as far from the mothership as some might think

And why is that

Henrik Stephansen about 170lbs.. ;)))

225 lbs of what?

@@jps200010 because rowing is extremely unfair for lightweights

@@philipsquire9056 his weight is 225

but You reach the finnish..that is more important..

This guy is not rowing its something different
