Any other ergfags here? Proast your times, and the usual reaction you get from the rest of the gym when they hear "WHIRRRRRRRRR...pssh...WHIRRRRRR...pshhh..."

Reaction from the gym? I love that thing so much I bought my own and have it at home. You can get a good deal from craigslist.org every so often.


1:31.6 500m... can't wait for sub 1:30.

I bought a Model D myself, but I'm at school now where they have an old Model C and a Model B. The B is awful, but I find the C easier to sprint on actually.

I usually go for 5K at a 2:05 split on 7 damper. For several weeks last semester I did 10K 6 times a week at 2:10 or so on a 10 to 8 damper. I think I could go for a 1:37.5 500M if I went at it, but I usually go for 5K or more.

I don't know about you, but whether I use the uni gym or the Y at home, at least 3 people turn around and give me a, "Wtf is that thing (the rower)?" face. Especially if you're going over 30 s/m at a high damper or speed.

I'm trying to get in to rowing. But I don't want to buy a cheapass machine, I want a proper machine to get started. If anyone has any recommendations, I'm all ears.

I row at this CF gym in town. I do 500m as part of my warmup and I'm having a bitch of a time getting under 1:50.

I did a 10km some time back, but I can't find my journal entry for that day. I think it was around 43:00. (lolfattie amirite?)

Rowing machines aren't really like other machines where you can sacrifice cost for quality so easily. There's other types of rowers that use other types of resistance, but they're pretty poor imo compared to the $700+ range. Try looking for a Concept II Indoor Rower on eBay used, preferably a Model C, D, or E.

2k is at 6:58. I was pretty fucking ecstatic. Does anyone here actually row or just use the ergs?

Also has anyone worked out their power to weight ratio?

I've just started using my Concept 2 again after way too long.
