The Body Screams 'No more' and in these moments you tell yourself how much you'll hate yourself if you stop now, and after that point it hurts less

The clearly exhibits the rowers vs coaches views on the erg. When I was rowing, I loathed the erg. When I was coaching, it was a huge asset.

@lalatzk7389 7 жыл бұрын

it's not just the weight. it's also important how tall u are ( tall people always have an advantage). and it's also depends how old u are^^

@MikeRoberts1964 7 жыл бұрын

That's 102 pounds roughly. Height would not be any advantage at THAT weight. I still say coxswain...

lala tzk No that is not true I guess, take a look at Moritz Wolff, World Record Holder at the 2k and 6k event. He is about 180 centimeters tall and was pulling 5:58.1 at the age of 16. I am also a small rower and dutch champ on the erg.😉

is this the new ad for concept2 ? Seriously though, the erg is not a boat. The more you are on water, the better you become on water, the more you are on erg, the better you become on erg.

Let Jurgen know that

@chinggiskhaan123 8 жыл бұрын

+hellerase a fast erg is simply an indicative or a good engine, which is not a guarantee for victory, but a necessity. in other words, 9 out of 10 international elite rowers will have good erg times, whereas there are many, many oarsman with good erg times who will never touch elite level rowing.

+chinggiskhaan123 All elite rowers have very good ergo times. Your not going to win a Olimpics with a 6:40 2k time
