I love the dynamics, much nicer to work on than the stationary

@@wilder163 agreed!

Fucking indoor rowing hype amirite?

Haha. I got mine 19 days ago. And here I am as well.

They show km/h. How stupid is that 🤷‍♂️😂

Probably because it would make any high school rower start crying (it would for me)

Because not everyone is born with higher than 80 IQ

@@SevanStickthey could have at least shown more decimal places so we can calculate their splits 😭

When I rowed for the first time I hit 500m in 1:31minutes but i was so Dead After its really impressive to keep the same pace for 6 minutes

Nice, I'm dead after a 2:05 🫠

@@Wellgee dw bro

@@julianberick8913 i can row for 25 minutes

@@austingill2739 dude...anyone can row for 25 minutes. The pace is what makes the difference. Training as a profesional rower in the winter gets you to 50-60 minutes of non stop rowing but at a pace of 1:44-1:50.

Nice job. I’m going for sub 6:50 as a LW and it’s not fun

I got 7 mins and I’m sure I died

No no, there are hamsters in the flywheel - rowing recharges them so they can go back to powering our cities.

3 to 5

What was the time.

Most rowers have extensive training such as work outs, cardio etc

@@JinxLiam I was wondering is their strategy to bulk up a bit over the winter and lean out for the summer? I assume a Russian rower doesnt get out as much on the water over the winter

@@lmc4964 because most of these rowers train in boats on the water as well as on the indoor rowing machine, there’s very little real bulking. they keep a relatively consistent body weight and try to get the best weight:power ratio possible. In most countries when you can’t get on the water and race, you get on the erg and get fit

Weight training is absolutely crucial! For the lower body you want to focus on squats, deadlifts, leg press, and then supplement that with maybe some plyometric exercises. For the upper body you’ll want to do pull-ups, LOTS of rows with barbells/dumbbell/cables, bench pulls are an old fashioned staple, and bench press. You can incorporate overhead press, bicep curls, and some triceps extensions as well. And because there are a myriad of core exercises, you can mix them up BUT rollouts and planks are essential. Hope that helps! If you’re wondering, I used to row and that is what was on the lifting “schedule” for the team.

@@Paladin5491 I came to the Concept2 on the back of a lot of cardio fitness mostly cycling and had started lifting. Covid messed things up a bit. have to say its tricky lining everything up. lots of zone 2 and 3 cardio and being an intermediate lifter is a good start. I'm taking a little break from the concept2 at the moment but I am doing some time/volume training, 40min max reps on a trap bar at 55% 1RM, im seeing great improvements in that output, I hope Ill see some transfer back to the rowing later.

It was a close race

they can choose freely, most elite athletes rarely use anything below 5 or upper 7, just for exercises

usually i’m pretty sure they use a drag factor of 135, this is around 6-8 on the resistance wheel

@@carwyndavies9549 really? Dang... I always use 10 and wished it would go higher. I never even thought about using less resistance. I'll have to try lower and see how my time reflects

a resistance level around 5 is similar to the resistance of an oar in the water so most athletes just stick to around that.

@@lawpenner I did the same, thinking that since I'm a strong dude than anything less than 10 must be for weaklings, women and seniors.. and then I saw these dudes.. who are also rather big and strong.. use 5 . :)

I think you are free in your choice tbh

Man that‘s individual. What are you talking about? 😂

That would be a question what I’d do cause I’m new on this

usually around 4 because that's the closest setting to how it feels on the water

They will have a standard drag factor set I imagine. You can see this on a concept2 by going through the options menu. Different machines can differ drastically on their actual settings so drag factor is far better.

@@andrewjolly319 Okay, thank you very much :)

Yes?

@@cameronbradford5714 Cameron Buchan lol

Thankfully it's just indoor rowing and form hardly matters

Lol they are all quality on the water.

Think he'll go apoplectic and THEN he'll await the apocalypse...

Well your Woody guy should see them on water. There where a couple of olympians in the field. (was Woody a olympian?)

@@gordonchong3580 Yes, but apocalyptic makes me smile :)

I hope that’s not a local saying where you are from. 🤣

@@-ShootTheGlass- I yank the handle at least once a day. It's a great stress reliever.

Very poor technique.

Alot of work man

Haha exactly the same really , best I’ve done is 8:00 , had it a month or so but hopefully will Improve, the race is only with yourself 👍🏼

@@paki_baloch why do you think he needs a lot of work? 9:46 is too bad?

Different brands use different calculations for water speed. Internationally the times/calculations from the brand 'concept' are recognized as most realistic to boats on the water, which is why they are used on virtually all events.

yes you’re better than them. that’s why you’re here saying shit on youtube and they’re there

@@blanco7179 I am new to this and have watched a lot of videos recently. Think I've never seen so many form experts in comment sections before.🙂

@@thomasmuller623 I’m also new to this and I do my best to get de best technique I can so But how is possible that in a video of 2020 World Rowing Indoor Championships, there’s people saying that they don’t have a good technique It’s like man what hell are you talking about 🤣

@@blanco7179 It might be true in some cases. I know this from swimming. Some world class athletes have "imperfections" in their techinique, but it somehow works for them. Also when you go for a short distance and high intensity, some of the good form will go over board. What I don't like is when someone like Ray Ng here just says, that they are all doing it wrong and doesn't even tell what exactly is bad.

Thats wierd becuase I was impressed with most of their form. Not a lot of wasted motion

haha are you joking, not a lot of stress??? Go try and max your 1000m time and see what your heart rate is.

Yes, because of covid. Can't go outside, you know.

@@aurelianspodarec2629 I don't think it's because of covid bud

@@c0ral765 You're right, its coz of the gov.

@@aurelianspodarec2629 rowing on a boat is still legal and was still legal. Rowing on a boat and ergo are 2 different things

@@c0ral765 Nope. Its illegal. Depends on the country.

Ahahah you’d die before the first 500m split as a novice with max. effort. It might seem easy but trust me, it isn’t.

you couldn’t hold their average split for a single stroke

@@fartchicken579 I gave it a go and was holding 1:14

I don't think so since the record in the 17-18 year-old category is 2 seconds slower than what vyazovkin pulled.

Yeah I wonder why there aren’t buff guys around 6’8 to 7 foot rowing. Their power output would be insane!

@@gadaboss I'm guessing world Champion stationary rowers don't make $40 million-dollar a year salaries. It would be fun to see some of these hyper athletes compete in these sports. For example you can see on KZfaq...world strongman Brian Shaw breaking the World Record 100m row on his first try.

Your comment sounds really ignorant. Most rowers who come close to world records are 6 ft 6+ and over 95kgs, with loads of aerobic capacity. LeBron would beat them at a running sprint or jumping, rower wins at squat, deadlift, bench pull and easily at VO2max

@@joostdegoede1519 how fast do you think LeBron James could pull a 2000m stationary row with one or two years of training?

@@lawpenner Lol no way he could do 5:30. Everything under 6:00 is elite.

Yeah I don't know about watching technique is not even wavering really, there really is just one good one, but knowing how good these guys really are means sum tho
