 woefully weak Member 4748, 1506 posts SQ 157, BP 133, DL 260550.0 kgs @ 104kgs UnEq | I think the stroke rate was 32ish. What’s the best way to improve from there? Higher sr or more power per stroke? | ||

What’s the best way to improve from there? Higher sr or more power per stroke? 40 spm is a pretty standard SR for 500m. Try 35+ and see how it goes. | ||

 still a devious weightlifting bastard Member 43, 14374 posts | Thanks guys. the main driver is 1m mtrs in 2021 so a few distance pbs along the way is a bonus. I'll be chucking in some faster reps in future too to break it all up a little. Hardware question. In the first stages of the occasional hardish pull I get a loud clicking (from the rower, not me) and I can feel something give a little bit. Nothing major, and doesn't stop me. Is this a common thing and is it time to look at a chain/ sprocket change? Cheers | ||

I first became aware of high SR after seeing Shane Jerman do a 500 in excess of 50spm, I thought it was bonkers .......until I tried it and took 2 seconds off my pb. You should be capable of low 1.20's with some training. | ||
