Hello Travis. First of all, thank you for the great content you share. I have a question regarding a specific rowing workout we were asked to do regurlarly at uni (in the uk): 30' @ rate 20spm (with max intensity). How would you assess this workout and do you regard this as usefull for a recreational rower? We used to do this once a week on the erg during the winter and it's definitely not UT2 effort. If im going as hard as i can through the whole piece i usually end up at my max HR. I really like this workout even though it's max effort but i wonder wether it may not lead to bad habits and bad form ( tendancy to overload at the catch for me) and thus maybe not do it so frequently. Thanks!

Hi Olivier, thanks for the question. I've seen this workout referenced by many athletes and while I understand the function of it, I would generally not use it myself. (mainly because there are better way to accomplish what it is doing). 30 min rate 20 max effort will put most athletes in UT1 for the majority of the time, crossing into AT sometime after 20'. The low stroke rate is going to emphasis a very strong leg drive which has it's usefulness, but I'd argue this could be achieved with better results with other workouts (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ep6XlpN72s68ZJ8.html being one, doing AT 4-6 beats lower than normal is the other). I would definitely not suggest this for a recreational athlete, especially one that prefers to pound rather than tap along at race effort. This workout will simply reinforce that bad habit. It will also lead to injury if an athlete is technically weak (especially in the back - anytime you are rowing a low rate max effort the back is a risk from poor technique). If you like it, and you've been a high performance athlete in the past, I think you'd be fine doing this once every 1-2 months to help measure progress. It will highlight improvements in aerobic endurance, threshold, and muscular power.

Would it be disadvantageous to do weights on a de-load day, or should it be done on a load day?

hi Conor, it depends on the session type. There are as many weight workouts as there are for rowing. I usually do strength on my unloading days but then again I'm not doing cross fit type circuits. I generally lift for either light conditioning or max strength and there is plenty of rest between sets in both instances.
