[QUOTE=phatty;6746277]Thanks. Around 10yrs ago I pulled my fastest at 6:45, but I don't have that in me anymore. I want to get back to 7:00. I have my damper set at 7. Much below that and it feels...

Was away from this wretched beast of mockery for about a week.
Did 10x500m with 30 sec rest. Tried to keep my stroke rate at 20 s/m and a 1:55 split. Man that is hard.
Cooked a 7:33 2k at the end...

Is this burst effort a setting on the C2 ? I am curious how that works. Full sprint to get the split down to as low as possible for a sustained time frame ? I guess that would be the same as cal...

Nice work everyone on putting up times and technique. Its fun to see what settings, stroke rate and gas level everyone has. Keep it up. Love the vibe here.
I did a 5k a couple days ago after being...

Kind of tweaked my back this week and have been digging on the shovel at work for a couple of days. Good to see some mags on the beast and posting goals, and times. Zion, a 7 min 2k is a good push...

Update. After a few days off the beast, I sat down and did 8x500 with 30 sec rest. tried to keep my 500 at 1.55 split for the 8 sessions. Was succesful. Took a breather for a few minutes and this is...

Interesting. I feel comfortable at a 2:10 split and its feels natural. My strength has always been in a sprint. I use to be able to pull a 1:30 for about 3 to 4 hundred meters but just didn't have...

Pulled a 7:53 2k straight out of the gate on my first sit down tonight.
Then did 3 more 2ks with about a 5 min rest in between. Averaged about 8 min
My last one was pretty slow cool down with a...

Ok, i am going to play once again.
Pulled up my post from 10 years ago. Went to the gym today and pulled an 8 min 2 k without busting my lungs open. Did some more slower reps. Goal is to pull a sub...

So when you are talking about keeping your feet down. Now I get it.
I have always lifted my heels too much I think. If I'm pulling hard and fast, the seat usually smacks my heels a bit if I get...

I assume that is a 1:46 split for 20 min ?

Solid !!

Some of the machines will keep a history of workout. Every time it start stops etc...
You can scroll through the screen to see what was done on it for the last couple of days usually.
If it is a...

Lionel,
Yes it was interesting rowing a few times now with the setting at 2. Can't seem to keep my splits low enough on that setting to get near my PB. I knocked it up to 4 the other day and was...

So after about 6 months of the beast i took the plunge again. Set at 2 for a few quick sprints of 5oo and a light row and rest in between. For truth a different animal on the 2 setting. I am a...

Lionel.

Setting of 2. That's insane, but what do i know? I'm going in tonight to see what a 2 feels like for 2 k. Can't imagine the stroke rate. Will post my findings tonight. I'm nervous to say...

I usually set it between 4-6. It kills me to see guys pull up and try and impress you with a setting of 10 and mash it all the way. A 10 means you will technically go farther per stroke with more...

Oldest kid rowed in high school for a couple of months. They always tested the kids on the 2km times. The schools have "Beat the Beast" indoor rowing competition every year. As a stupid parent, I...
