Thank you for your feedback, much appreciated!

Good stuff when you learn how to connect with the machine. Thanks for your time and knowledge, which I am sure are very valuable

Excellent

@@Neil_Bergenroth_Rowing_Coach doing great.. love your videos, I have been doing low stroke rates trying to increase power per stroke. I am going to try this one thanks

Hey Coach, I was just viewing a few of your videos and looking at your website. Saw you were having surgery back in May. Hope all was successful and you are/have recovered well. I have enjoyed your content. New to rowing on the C2 and at 61 I’m having a blast with it.

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I am doing well and making a good recovery from my 12 hour surgery. My afib seems to have been mostly fixed, so that is good. Really appreciate your commenting on my content.

@@Neil_Bergenroth_Rowing_Coach Good luck, coach, from another Afib (paroxysmal) sufferer.

This is interesting. We can play with all this to learn things. Instead of putting the drag factor up for your low rate piece, drop it. If you have been using some arbitrary number such as 120, try dropping it right the way down to whatever you get with the fan closed. And then we can play with the stroke itself to learn things. How do you get good power with a low drag factor? You will need a fast drive. You will need to listen to the fan. You will need a slow recovery. Sllower than what you will be used to. You may have to pause in the finish and/or catch position if your recovery was not slow enough. Your stroke rate may need to be lower than 20. Experiment and play with it. Don't expect to learn everything in one session. What can you learn from starting from that and putting up the drag factor? At some point the relative time you allocate to the parts of the stroke has to change. This is more obvious when lowering the drag factor than when raising it. You still want to retain the fast drive even though you will find at higher drag factors that you can generate speed with a slower drive. Why? (This is more relevant if you do on the water rowing) You can find a/the point at which your drive slows down through experimentation. Higher spm requires a certain minimum drag factor. The fan has to slow enough for you to have something to catch. It's all fine to read and have a general understanding of all that, but it is much better to have an experiential understanding of it all. So go play and experiment.

That's a heck of a target. My last 2k was a split of 1:42. I can barely squeeze out 1:55 at that rate. I guess that's why they call it a target, right? Guessing I'll get there if I keep at it. Good stuff, keep 'em coming.

Thanks for your feedback! You will get there. This is a great exercise in learning how to create torque per stroke. If there is something you would like to see me discuss on the channel, please let me know!

Enjoy your videos a lot. Would this type of workout be used in what phase of training. Would it be ok in the base training phase or higher up the pyramid. Thanks.

Hi Ian, I would put this anywhere you want quite frankly. However, it could be used in base training to help with learning connection and developing power. I appreciate the feedback very much, thank you for taking the time. If there is something you want to see on the channel, please let me know.
