Hello KZfaqrs! Welcome to another episode! As you can tell from the title of the video, we are talking about the drag factor, or resistance of the rowing machine, which is best for you and what it all means.
The most asked questions I get asked are all relating to drag factor or resistance in some way. What drag factor do you use? How do you change the drag factor? What drag factor is best for sprints? For long rows? The list goes on and hopefully today I can go over what the drag factor on the rowing machine really is and can clear some things up.

So if I’m getting this correct, it’s similar to driving a car and if you stop or the slower you going to a junction then the more force on the gas pedal is needed to speed up again, Whereas if you can time it right you can maintain a steadier pace.

Explanation from an engineer who rows:

@probitionate 3 жыл бұрын

For years, I rowed my standard 5,000m workout with the damper set at 4. Recently, after actually investing in a C2, I performed an experiment over a two-week period, adjusting the damper from 3-7 in various increments. It was a pretty fascinating set of workout results. In the end, 3 and 7 sucked for different reasons. Turns out my 'sweet-spot' is 5.5-6, where I managed to trim almost a minute off my longstanding PB. Now I just have to learn how to actually row properly after 35 years. LOL

Great video -- my advice (like anybody wants that) is to just keep experimenting and eventually you'll get there. A maintenance video would be AWESOME.

Best explanation of drag factor I've heard/read. Thx!

Honestly, best explanation on youtube 👍

Cameron truly the best explanation of what DF and Damper settings are. As soon as you bring in the example of rowing on the river and either getting a quick, slow or indifferent catch with differing perspectives of what each feels like you nail it to a tee why this setting is unique to the individual. Also a tidy reminder that at the end of the day it is largely down to technique, strength and fitness as the key to good times.

Of a number of videos I've watched talking about drag factor, this was the one that actually helped me understand what's going on. Thanks for sharing!

Great explanation, mate. Thanks!

Good explanation, I've read where drag factor can roughly be thought of as boat weight. Higher drag factor equals heavier boat. This seems to bear that out. Thanks, Stay well.

Doing my Sunday morning 500s at drag factor 90, just for the fun of smashing the rate! I think you are right, it's probably too low to get the best score, but I expect the rest of the club on zoom think I am a total beast 😁

@jefflangdon3540

Cameron! This is an excellent video it’s expired thing’s perfectly. I’ve asked you a few questions now and this video answered them all, my apologies for not screening your videos prior!
