>>42849386
cause I am not a city cuck and do my cardio in nature

>>42849421
>he said on the virtual online world

Anyone have good routines?

I do

>1000 meters hard
>Rest for 500
>750 meters hard
>Rest for 500
>500 meters hard
>Rest for 250
>250 meters hard
>Rest for 250

Take about 20 minutes and is a pretty tough workout

>>42849421
>not joining your rowing club at the city lake because you live in buttfuck nowhere.

>>42849386
Because I like browsing 4chan while pedalling on a stationary bike

>>42849457

5x500m, 1:30 minute rest in between

and then if you really, really hate yourself

5x2000m, 500m rest in between. I used to row back in college and this set still gives me shivers. Has made me vomit many a times

>>42849386

Got a concept 2 rower for the winter months. I prefer bicycling and hiking outside tho.

>>42849629
5x2k is the fucking worst.

Did you ever do 30' r20? Coach has us doing 2 lots of them with a 4 min rest in between

>tfw 5'9 and my feet can't reach the foot rests on the rowing machine

Way too expensive unless you specialize in it. I can get a better workout flipping a light weight tire for time. Or even doing light weight complexes with a db/bb/sandbag for time.

i row everyday for about and hour because i have to. it doesn't really feel like it's as effective as other workouts. feels like a jack of all trades type of deal.

>manlets btfo
why

t. 5'8" who uses erg 3x a week

>>42850636

it's literally like doing a squat, a deadlift, and a row in one motion. max out the resistance. it's incredibly effective.

I like the breeze this machine creates on my bawls

>>42849878
Just did 3*30' t20 today
1:47,4 1:49,8 and 1:46,2
>>42850665
Fucking manlets
Because you go slow as fuck if you're short

>>42849386
Because they make to much noise. Bought myself a treadmill instead.

>>42850716
Max out the resistance, yes except this does nothing for strenght mate, this only makes you less explosive, energy=force*length, if you're doing a particular split at a particular tempo, this means you're applying a certain ammount of force, wether the resistance is 250 or 80, ramming the resistance to max only makes you move slower

>>42850780
but it's harder to maintain a certain tempo when the resistance is higher. you exert more stress, it is a better workout. what are you even saying?

>>42850856
Nigga unless you're at maximum intensity during your entire workout, ramming the resistance to maximum does nothing for strenght training

>>42850742
oof, fucking filthy son

>>42849629
>5x2k
Jesus Christ, you row in the Ivy League or something?

>>42850716

Maxing the resistance is the ultimate noob rower thing to do. Crossfit tier.

Mid resistance and mid 20s strokes per minute is the secret.

>>42851200
I've read the mid-resistance thing from a reputable rowing guide and other sources, but 20 s/m?

I do ~35....how are you meant to achieve 'good' 2k times a 20?

>>42850742
>Because you go slow as fuck if you're short
Untrue

>>42851354
How to get good 2k times at 20s/m
Not, you're training not competing, and unless you're completely dead after a 2k you're not getting good times anyway. And 35 is still too high for 2k for non-rowers and even then, most rowers do 2k at about 32. 35 is way too fast and just tells me you're not completing your stroke and you're rowing like a retard
>>42851387
Except it is very very true mate

>>42851562
or maybe you're just an amateur who uses the rowing machine as for fitness and not rowing

>>42849386
Because there's only one in my gym and it's been broken for like two years.

I have pic related at the gym, do 2000m every day for warmup.
how do I increase resistance?
am at~41s/m

>>42851577
Lmao no mate, I went to the U23 European championships in the 4-

>>42851611
lmao k someone get my lantern because i just found an honest man

>>42851602
>41s/m
>41
Jesus fuck, please watch a rowing tutorial by an actual rowing organisation
You do realize that the goal is not to get as many strokes per minute as possible right mate

>>42851627
Believe what you want mate, but just knowing these terms is pretty much enough not to be a crossfit erg retard

>>42850742
are you sub 6:10?

>>42851674
6:07.8

>>42851354

20 is very low. I usually do 26-28. My buddy who was a serious rower in college does 24-26

If you are doing mid 30s and max resistance then you're technique is probably terrible unless you're an elite rower

>>42849386
Rowing makes my ass literally go numb from the way I sit on it

>>42849386
I get 1s/m yall suck

>>42849386
Any recommended guides? I want to make sure im doing it right. Im using it for cardio for judo.

>>42851884

5x500m, with 1 minute rest in between.

search youtube for form stuff.

>>42851900
Im trying that atm. Whats a good time? I am at 2:20 which i assume is awful.

>>42851957
Try going under 2:00. 1:40-1:50 is quite nice to try to achive, desu

>>42852057
I will shoot for that. I thought higher s/m was good before this thread so now i need to definitely look up form shit.

>>42849995
>tfw im 5'6 and I can.

Do 2k meters a day. Keep your split under 1:55 the entire time.

>>42851602
theres a resistance thing on the fan. Should go from 1-10. Around 3-5 simulates the actual drag in the water if i remember correctly.

>>42852102
This one is pretty neat for the technique:

>>42852169
Thanks i appreciate it. All i had to go by were some damn cross fitters

Is the row machine a quick way to ottermode?

>>42849457
too much rest

>>42851884
Get off fit Teddy
