 still a cock Member 55, 1213 posts SQ 50, BP 25, DL 55130.0 kgs @ 0.1kgs UnEq | those that have used this, there is a little clip on the side of the wheel, with numbers 1-10, think it is some sort of resistance, what level do u guys put it on then. | ||

Member 13, 14460 posts SQ 230, BP 180.5, DL 262.5673.0 kgs @ 128kgs UnEq Administrator | your supposed to set up the dynamo thing so its at 80-100 thingys per whatever as thats closest to rowing on water, however thats normally between 6 and 7 on a concept 2, however i normally do it on 8 or 9 | ||

tabbouleh and fattoush salads were very refreshing Member 267, 8548 posts SQ 220, BP 165, DL 250635.0 kgs @ 90kgs Eq | I used to use 6-7 for the longer endurance based rows - we used to do these brutal Sat morning sessions where we'd row for 1hr keeping the split under 1:55 throughout. For the shorter sprints I'd set the resistance at 8 | ||

 is weaker than a guy who trains in the poshest gym Member 21, 70 posts SQ 220, BP 155, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | Carl said: your supposed to set up the dynamo thing so its at 80-100 thingys per whatever as thats closest to rowing on water, however thats normally between 6 and 7 on a concept 2, however i normally do it on 8 or 9 Yeah this is pretty much how I use it, I'm rowing for a club at the moment (it is a s**tty sport full of toffs, but I really like lycra and crappy weight circuits) Go to Main Menu->Other Options->Display Drag Factor and start rowing. Adjust the lever till the drag is what you want. I go for 130 simply because that was recommended to me. Maybe bigger guys might want a bit more drag. If you stick it to 10 all the time you lose the ability to adjust to take into account differences in machines. It's not a big deal if you're just looking for a cardio hit, but if you're trying to see how you are progressing the difference in machine could be a problem. What resistance you set it to doesn't change how much work you put in to get a fast time, it just changes the feel of the exercise. | ||
