 no longer the Swiss Deadlift record holder Member 3517, 3367 posts SQ 182.5, BP 122.5, DL 255560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | jt said: Super, faster than my 100m pb are you 6' + like long legged sparrow? I have good pulling leverages (that's my excuse for a s**t squat and decent deadlift, and I'm sticking to it) but I'm "only" 6'0". | ||

Being taller is obviously a massive advantage of being heavier, do you know why they have a weightless rather than height class? 1 minute pb today 357m (that must be 375m with height formula conversion)  | ||

And it's easier to distinguish 74.9kg from 75.0kg than it is 182.9cm from 183cm. At the last indoor worlds, I certainly felt short. Some people advocate for a "midweight" category in indoor rowing, but I think that's ridiculous.Interestingly, for the skierg it seems that weight and upper body strength matter more than height. | ||

I shoulda when I coulda (thanks Bev) NABBA universe used to have height classes back in the beginning of time, but I cannot think of any other sport. However It would be harder to put on height after a "measure in" than weight like the glory lightweights do | ||

A dirty flywheel, other ergs in use nearby, placing the erg near a wall, and other things can affect the drag factor. You can check the drag factor in the "More options" menu. http://www.concept2.com/indoor-rowers/training/tips-and-genera... I usually use a high (180+) df for very short sprints like 100m, 150+ for a 500m, maybe 140 for a 1k, and 125-135 for 2k and anything above. In fact, I only keep a close eye on the df when I'm training for or racing a 2k. For the shorter stuff, I go a bit by feel. If I'm doing a training piece, I use the df that I would use for the race distance that I'm training for. I.e., if I'm doing 8x500m as part of my training for a 2k, I'll use a df of 130, not 150. Quite a lot of talk about drag factor recently on the home of rowing: Sugdenbarbell. I found this nugget off rowing God Macroth and thought I’d share. | ||

After a good clean today max drag went to about 190. Any way to increase that a bit? I enjoy the higher resistance stuff. Did a 1 minute max today, not tried it before - 347m, better pacing should add a few more m's. | ||

6:19.WTF Member 3359, 3677 posts SQ 250, BP 210, DL 295755.0 kgs @ 89kgs UnEq | Got 1 minute 358m today. Does anyone try to pace themselves for a 1 min row, or just go full out from the start? | ||
