- Watch me do a 5:54.7 2k rowing machine test while viewing my heart rate data, my splits and hearing thoughts that were going through my head during the 2k itself. Enjoy!
Today was another opportunity to test out some 2k strategies. Narrowing in now and good to see what changes can still be made! Great to get another 2k row on the rowing machine under the belt. Sometimes the 2k can be a mental barrier and can build up extra tension just through mentioning the workout! Doing them multiple times, if recovery is good enough, can help get over this!

DRAG FACTOR/RESISTANCE used on this workout.
I set the drag factor to 125. Around a 3-4 on this machine. Resistance does NOT equal faster or slower speeds. I've made a few videos discussing drag factor which I recommended checking out. Here is one: th-cam.com/video/_ZbxsslM6NQ/w-d-xo.html
If you have any other questions let me know!
Thanks for the info. I've achieved 7:55 for a 2K on drag factor 10. I weighed 75KG at the time. In your opinion is this a good effort? Thanks.
@@stevenc6492 like I've said in the video linked in the comment. The drag factor won't really make you slower or faster.
If you went hard and felt tired that's a good score 👍 hard question to ask specifically not knowing anything else!
@@CameronBuchan Thanks. Ok understood. I'm not a rower by any means. I just added rowing to my strength workout x2 per week. All the best with your rowing pursuits.
Sorry… just seen this
Why does this stress me out like it's my turn next😂
Hahaha
something about the repetitive sounds and the guy commentating, gives me anxiety for some reason 😂
One of the more disgusting things I've seen in a while, going SUB 6 on a 2k just to test out strategies, fiddling with the monitor multiple times, not even falling off the erg at the end. Going to see what this machine can do with a proper taper. Best of luck Cam!
Let's see if not doing those things makes me faster in Paris! #yamsquad
O@@CameronBuchan
he said "thank you very much" right after the end, indeed :P
when his heart-rate during a 2k is yours during steady state...
Make sure your HR is in the right zone for your steady state!! #yamsquad
Thought the same. I know you should watch out for the heart rate zones, but I don't feel like I'm doing much without it going into the 175-180 in the last 5 minutes.
I swear my steady state is 190 tho😂
@@nuri5095 Must be wild have a 260 HRmax ;)
Where is his hr?
Given the amount of fiddling around you did with the monitor, your earpiece etc., I reckon there must be more to come!
That's the idea!! 🤞 #yamsquad
I've rowed on ERGs for a decade, 6:40PR, but never seen a sub 6 in my life.. until today. Thanks for sharing
You're welcome! Hope you enjoyed! #yamsquad
It's easier to do it if you are a giant like him. He is 209 cm, so he's strokes are 25-30 cm longer than regular people have. Tall people benefit from height in most of sports.
@@ricotico5950 being tall definitely has its benefits. Still working on getting that 30cm extra gain in length at high rate though!
@@ricotico5950 not crossfit
@@CameronBuchan Also, there is lightweight and heavyweight categories for good reason when the ergo is concerned.
Just did a 2k last week and did 7:03, down from 7.49 at the start of the season. I'm 16 so hopefully I can go sub 7 next year! Your videos are a big motivation.
you got this
Did you go Sub 7 ???? Let us know and all the best.
im a junior in high school with a 2k pr of 6:53, its pretty recent too, and i collapsed afterwards. and u pulled a sub 6 and just WALKED AWAY. i could never 😂😂😂
this man just gets up and walks away after a 2k. i sit there and die for 5 mins before thinking of getting up
Last 2k I did, I unstrapped my feet, fell on the floor. Stayed there for quite some time.
i find it funny that he was listening to a disney soundtrack while ripping a 1:30 split
This is by far the best 2K TT video out there, the addition of the erg data and heart rate and the running commentary is just what we need to see for comparisons. Thanks Cameron. I race in the 50+ age group, I'm giving Paris a miss, but hoping to go to the next Worlds.
Thanks John! I enjoyed making this one! #yamsquad
Very happy to finally find a sub 6 minute video with commentary, screen capture and in a perfect quality. Awesome job. I can't comprehend how you can be below 150 bpm almost midway through, that's just unreal. Amazing result, if you took it to 190-200 bpm, you'd shave another 10 seconds off if this for sure.
Thanks Jozef! I think the graph is a slight bit out before the k, not by too much though! Definitely right with getting the push with extra 10 or so beats at the end!
That split is insane
His HR never hit 200... actually it’s barely even 190 while my 2ks hover at 190+ with 1k left wtf
Everyone has different HRs!
This guy is a beast, I started rowing at age 50 and have a 2K PR of 6:59 which I thought was pretty good in that it was very competitive with most college rowers.
Late to the party on this, but holy smokes that stroke rate -- easily pulling 35-40 s/m almost hitting 60 s/m in the last 200m. Those are skierg numbers for most of us mere mortals! Great 2K!
Well anyone can do the stroke rate! 😂 It's funny this one is more popular than the faster ergs,
Pff, I can hold that split too (for 250m)
Me too, perhaps 500/600 m...Getting there tho :D
This was surprisingly insightful. I'm going to do some stroke counting from now on and set some distance milestones as well to help with the mental game.
The mental game is huge! Good luck! #yamsquad
Great to see a different approach to erging is helping you out quite a lot. Keep on yamming 🔥🔥
Great to hear what rattles through your head during a 2k. I do the same 10 stroke counting, but it seems to go on forever! Tried 20 but kept losing count around 14.LOL. Thanks for sharing!
Really liked the way you filmed, the description plus the data ! awesome performance Cam and keep up the great work !
Thanks Marc! I enjoyed making this one!
Amazing consistency
This is totally amazing - recommended this video by TH-cam when watching a different rowing video and what do I see? Bath! That's where I learnt to row with the Uni! Totally amazing 2k! I did my best ever 2k just over 3 years ago on one of those ergs next to you of 6:49, just 6-7 months into rowing. Would love to improve that over lockdown. All the best Cameron! Will sub and follow on IG!
Great pice man, got pretty pumped watching this. Good luck making the Olympic squad this year !
The gym I go to has the previous world erg 2k record holder (5.36) as a customer. He has long retired from rowing but will still do a lazy erg at sub 1.40 pace. He literally bends the erg every time he pulls. An absolute monster of a man.
thats literally the world record
@@haxrwack2568 he was the world record holder until recently. That’s probably why. He won’t hold that for the full 2k but can still pulls like a train.
Rob Waddell? That guy is a freak athlete for sure.
@@Pilkie101 yes. He is a man mountain for sure
Massive massive massive!
Huge cingratulations!
Very soon you Will be at 1:27 for sure.
This year you can get number at 1:26, I have 100% confidence in that.
Your arms are really better, That's the best I ve seen you rowing so far. Tokio isn't impossible.
Keep striving, 2024 is your's if you keep like this.
Cingratulations Cam
Thank you!! #yamsquad
Excellent video! Inspired by your efforts, I did a 2k and set a new PB of 7:27 (previously 7:38).
Great work!! That's a huge PB!! #yamsquad
Great effort. What I find most encouraging for you is that although you worked very hard, you were not falling off the machine at the end so definitely more to come. Good Luck!
Agreed! Still more in the tank! Good sign for Paris! #yamsquad
I think this is one of your best vlogs to date (and I never thought I would say that about a video without Yam!). The enhanced stats are great, as is the voice over. Great ideas from MrBoggins too! I watch a few doggy vlogs and most appear to have an Amazon list so people can send pressies for their dogs on birthdays, Xmas or just when they want - might be an idea?? (They also have stuff on them for enhancing the video-making experience - you might be surprised at how generous people are with this sort of thing.)
Thanks Tony! That's an interesting one! I didn't even know about that, could you send some examples to me please? Over to contact@yamsquad.com 🙏
absolutely amazing.....definitely learnt a few thing from your vid. i'll try to slide less toward the foot pad during the last 500 meters to see if i could pick up the stroke speed
I absolutely loved this! takes a whole new level of courage to film and share it :) thanks for doing that.
Thank you! I enjoyed making this one! #yamsquad
That was ridiculous... what a weapon 💪
Wow Cameron!!! I row from '89s and I saw only one time 2k under 6' here in Italy. Remember only Elia Luini( more times world champion in 2x lw with Pettinari) makes a 2k under the 6 min .
Really Congratulations Cameron!!!! You are very strong!!!!!!💪💪💪💪💪
Unbelievable! Great job and an Idole to me. I need to learn a lot till I will be able to rowing nearly like that. Great inspiration and thoughts thank you for that. I did only 1000m for now but now I will learn to handle the 2000m also.
Love your channel and content! Definitely trying to use some of the tips to improve my own.
Awesome! Good luck!
Thank you for the tips! They suit me
What an incredible accomplishment. Thank you so much for sharing and motivating. Gearing up for my 2K benchmark row this week.
Thank you! Good luck and let us know how you get on!
@@CameronBuchan I really appreciate it. Will do now that I’m an avid subscriber.
Nice job Cameron. Isaiah finally broke six on Sat with a 5:54.1 but a lot different technique (rated just under 30 for the majority with a longer drive) so it's interesting to see the difference and glad to see you're exploring options. Keep up the hard work and nice updates to the channel. :)
That's awesome! Great work to him! Keep up the awesome job! #yamsquad
Great job Sir. Beast
~the best prep for a 2k is to do a 2k~
That's it
probably like 2500
Fantastic, treat to watch, like I said in a comment on one of your videos, sub 5:50 in Paris is on the cards, rooting for you #yamsquad ah yeeeeeeehhhh
Awww yeeaahhh. Let's see what we can do! #yamsquad
Gotta love the boys standing around providing some hype.
Good hype men make wonders
Your content is top notch Cam!
Thanks Graham! #yamsquad
I would also love to see the Force Curve graph. Bet that would be fascinating!
How could this be possible? Amazing!
This whole thing is great. Educational, entertaining and inspiring. But the highlight has to be that fact that you STAND UP AND WALK OFF only TEN SECONDS after finishing. When I think about my personal target of 7mins, and the wattage difference that entails. For those are not familiar, CB was pulling roughly 500watts. 7minutes for 2k would be around 300watts ( and I will not be walking away like that)
Cameron you’re the man!
Please give us a 500 TEST! 💪🏻💪🏻
Like a boss. Fantastic.
Are tips really exist? That pace and power because you are a beast.
Thanks for posting. Great time. It's been helpful to compare my form to yours. I like how you put the app on the screen too. You have a huge stroke at 1.48. Mine only averages about 1.33. You've inspired me to try for a new PR in the 2k. Soon...
Good luck! You can do it! #yamsquad
Well done 👏 ...
When I am doing a test I go too fast so i lose all of my energy on begining and then you are like chill😎
Great video sir.
All rowing coaches in the world has the same clothing style :D
For the last 100 meters, everybody is yelling and when it ends they just silently watch the monitor 😂🤣
very very inspiring!
Damn Cam has thighs bigger than my waist
That is insane!
Excellent piece of work! Would be great to see your power/wattage as well!
There's a split to watts converter on the concept2 website if you're curious for this video!
I’m a sophomore in high school with a personal best of 8:20, and idk how you did that😂
Yo thats slow
@@viktoryrun3766 dude it’s only my second year rowing give me a break
@@viktoryrun3766 What was your fastest time when you first started smartass
My first ever 2k was a 7:58
@@jns08d my first 2k was 7:48
I have used (or maybe nearly killed myself with exhaustion) Concept2 for over twenty years and never got any faster than 7:20 for a 2K (many years ago now) however seeing you do this is just phenomenal. Amazing effort. You have a new subscriber.
Thanks for the support!
Great work! What was your drag factor?
Cool and collected. Very nice
Awesome job and thanks for the vid. Does anyone have tips to keep the lower body engaged more? The first half of my stroke seems to be wasted with no tension in the chain then it’s all upper body after that.
Late to the party - very awesome informative vid! Can I ask your height and weight? 6'8? and Adidas Olympic lifting shoes? Do you wear those purposeful or just for a rigid shoe? I've seen others do the 2k ERG in socks, I can't imagine that being effective or comfortable...thx thx
That Air Pod adjustment @6:36 is a big flex
Just wasn't playing ball
Really curious what sort of training you do or have done inorder to improve your Cardiovascular endurance. I'm a highschool rower and I excel at steady state pieces but I really struggle with high rate pieces(really anything over a thirty). Its what I fell I need to work on most especially with the spring season coming up and I was curious if you had any tips.
Beast! I’m a 2 year rower, so relatively new. Still trying to get sub 7, but this is great motivation. Thanks for sharing
Hi Cameron, have just stumbled upon you're videos. very impressive and insightful. wondering what damper setting you have when doing the erg test?
Hi Paul. I'm pretty sure the pinned comment explains for you!
Machine! In screen erg data + HR Speedo (cool) + commentary / tips + the whole piece end to end + awesome picture quality + fiddlin' with monitor & headhones - vomiting = ♠️ A single vlog with your pal Adam Neill in it has over 576k views on a channel with only 211 subscribers, with the title "Adam Neill 2Km ERG 5:48" maybe a similar title tweak, for you, could boost views and subs, for what is a far superior vlog? 🤞
I liked this one for sure! I know the video, once we get to those speeds I think we can do that. I would have though last week's 2k would be good too but unfortunately didn't push as far as I thought. Guess I need sub 550! What do you think?
@@CameronBuchan you might be right Cam, no harm in trying SEO title tweaks using anothers successful title template as a guide and then reviewing it? Suggest... "Cameron Buchan" or "Yam squad" and "ERG" are both missing, "2Km" is typed as 2k in the earlier 5:56 vid title. It might also be differences in the chosen fields in the TH-cam uploader or web traffic pouring in to a TH-cam link. Marginal gains 🤞 Today's vid similar... Cameron Buchan (or Yam squad) 5:54 ERG 2Km - Real Time Tips This latest vid is next level and deserves a much bigger audience.
I really need someone else to help with the titles! 😂 Great suggestion. Let's change it to what you suggested and see if it helps this time!
@@CameronBuchan .😂..."ERG" instead of, or as well as "Row". 500k views :) got my stopwatch ready 🙏
@@MrBoggins1234 finnneeeee 😂
Great idea how it was presented THANK YOU! I'm brand new to my Concept 2 and rowing finding motivation everywhere through the rowing/erging community (just in time for the "stay home quarantine" ) What about "How Far I'll Go" made that the right song for your effort?
Thanks for watching! Good timing indeed! Just a song I like, wasn't quite the original either!
That was intense. It's always intense.
Adding the screen and heart rate counter I think added this time!
Fantastic effort!
Thanks for sharing.
What Drag Factor were you using?
This one was 135! I meant to say it in the video!
@@CameronBuchan Thanks Cam. The reason I ask is because I noticed JDS 2km Erg = 5:38.6 was at 120 Drag. I have been experimenting with very low drags and having much better results.
Just food for thought.
After all, Food is Fuel!!
;-)
Good Luck in Paris!!
@@kencostello5443 all experimental! Thanks Ken! #yamsquad
Came here because I am starting to fall in love with this thing. Did just under 2400m in 10min. today, but in my defence it was after a full fitness workout, including abs, shoulders, breast and a 25 min. bike run at 210W average. Didn't know what to do, so I just went for the 10min. option. I am a beginner so I kinda tried to stay between 20 and 25spm, but the fool I am, I had to push a little. It wasn't that bad in the end, but I will be pushing some more after seeing this I guess...
After listening to the music you addedto build up the tension st the start of the row, I was hoping for an anti-climax where you fall of the rowing machine :-) Great effort though!!!
Love it Cam :) Wondering if you could answer a question that we have debate on in our club at the moment: say you row a 6:23.9 2km, as a rower would we say It's a 6:23 or a 6:24; ie do you round it up or down? Keen to hear you and your fellow rowers comments
What I've always seen, heard, and done myself is if you're like you used, 623.9. You're a 623. No rounding up ever! 😂
Good job.
This was really interesting to hear you talk through your game plan!, with the stats too!
They say a change is as a rest, pleased that mixing it up seems to be working for ya! I'm agreeing with Mr Boggins thoughts, there is a lot of very poor content out there😴getting more views!??? The title pulls you in! Once you get them in Cam they will be along for the yamsquad ride!
P.s been working on my erg training, wearing an AIO instead of standard gym gear seems to make make me more focused! Any thoughts on any new spring/summer Merch collection? Couldn't work out if I could still order a AIO? love the orange blue and white, maybe add some ladies cut training vests! visors, head bands etc..just a thought, know your a bit busy😂
Hi Abbey! Thanks a lot and you're right!! #yamsquad regarding AIOs I know exactly what you mean!! I want to get some more things in the shop just like you mentioned and perhaps a more consistent AIO for sale too!
Mad erg Cam, congrats. Any updates on the Yamsquad AIO's?
Thank you! As you see in the video and the last 2k I've been testing them out! Making sure the yamsqaud get an awesome aio. The aim is to get them to me next week and to you ASAP!!
@@CameronBuchan Got to put them through their paces!! Can't wait to get mine and keep yamming on it here in Australia. Cheers
I saw a high school sophomore go 5:54 at my regions ergomania this year
That's awesome! #yamsquad
Impressive!
Good effort
Amazing. It takes me about 18 minutes to do 2km.
Fantastic
Awesome man! One question: what is the level of resistance in the fan?🙏🏽
I think I had the fan around 4 for this one. I have made a few videos talking about resistance on the rowing machine and how it isn't too important!
Hi Cameron, awesome video! What’s your damper setting typically at? I’m playing around with my pr, but man, that stroke rate at the end was insane!
I explain it in the pinned comment 👍
Hey Im going into sophomore year of high school and I have a 6:58.7 2k. Any tips on how to not peak early? I also started lifting weights about 8 months ago before last winter season and its helped a lot.
Inspiring stuff! As an old fart of 47, I enjoy rowing (was in the first 8 during high school) at teh gym each day. PB for 5km is 20:57 haha. Subbed and liked and keen to watch some more.
Hi Lee! Great to have you here. Glad you enjoy the content!
I need that Coach yelling at me...just in everday life....gives me chills everytime...."23's CAMMMMM!!!"
Cant stand to see so much rowing and still at the same place... Benches... MOOVE!
I'm not sure what you mean! 😂
@@CameronBuchan Rowing machines are the evil shells! Just me being silly. Good luck at Paris!
Absolutely fantastic effort....just wondering what resistance setting do you normally have it on.
I've pinned a comment that answers you 💪
Minerva Bath. Yeah yamsquad.
Awww yyeeaaahhh
Dude I have done a few 2K for time and they absolutely are crushing and you have to go into the pain cave for a long time. This is impressive
Thanks for the Vlog. what damper setting were you at?
I think it was around 130!
I just started rowing with a Concept 2!
I love it so much more than running, lol! But everything is still so new to me.
Could you tell why towards the end (
Hey Fred! I know what you mean. Running fan be something else!
Yes you're right, a lot of arms going on at the end. Not the most efficient technique but as you could see, faster splits! So more just throwing the rate up and applying as much power as I can for a short period of time. Couldn't do it for the whole piece!
To the line means to keep going all the way to the finish. Sometimes you can stop half a stroke early and end up losing valuable tenths!
I hope you enjoy your rowing rowing journey!
@cameron can you talk about the breathing patterns and also the best type of breathing pattern in your opinion..thank you cheers
On the cards for a video!! #yamsquad
Hi. What app are you using for the count int he lower left side?
My record is 7:12, but trust me, it is taft.
Nice workout, compliments 💪
I'm fairly new to erging so forgive me for the stupid questions, but i just have two questions on your technique here Cam:
1) Don't you lose a bit of energy when you already push with your legs before they are at 90° during the recovery? Like it seems that your legs should be going a bit further no?
2) Do you have back issues? Because your back looked quite arched in this video, whereas I thought it should be straight and you should focus on getting your bum behind your back basically?
Again, I know nothing about erging compared to you, but i would love it if you could answer my questions since i am in my first year of erging and am trying to improve my technique every week.
Cooley steps off the erg at the end as if it's tea break!
