I had a heart attack July 1, 2019 and did a 3 month cardio rehab program last summer. I lost 12 pounds and bought a Concept 2 as well as a TRUE Elliptical. I love my Concept 2 and use it everyday. I had emergency surgery 2 stents. It was hereditary. I am 57 (153 lbs) and started with 1000M in 10 minutes. I am up to 1600M in 10 minutes and I can do 220M in a 1 minute sprint. It is fun and challenging. My kids can do over 2000M in under 10 minutes. My youngest is a natural and went to private school but did not go on the rowing team. Too bad.
I wish you good health and let this beautiful sport keep your heart beating strong and long! You are one of great examples, that after heart attack you are doing what is right! It is never too late for physical activity.
Once more thank you for this video. As an experienced C2 rower, it served as a good reminder/refresher of how to setup and why to do it so, before using the rower and monitor. If you are a beginner rower, this video is on point and will help you get started on the right way on how to use the rower. Watch and repeat!🙂
Hey Austin! How's your back injury recovery going? You're my go-to for rowing tips, it's helped me a lot during OTF workouts like crazy over these past few months. Thank you for your amazing guidance!! NOW DO IT!! 💪
Great video, I was recently on holiday and so had to use the local gym. I cringed so hard seeing people using the erg wrong. I guess I’ve been spoilt by only erging at my rowing club
How about a short video on C2 maintenance? I’ve been erging for years and vacuum the screen occasionally from outside, rarely take screens off for interior cleaning, and also find I have to clean rail and rollers of the accumulated detritus every few days...any other recs or suggestions, particularly referable to rails/rollers? .....and oil to chain occasionally of course. Like Tri-Flow.
Helpful tips, I see a lot of people doing these things wrong at the gym, especially the drag factor and foot placement. Perhaps in a future show you could talk about the ERG ap, what it shows and how it can be linked to your on line log book.
Just tonight I dropped the foot traps another notch (now one set of holes showing, strap at base of toes)...had my best 5000m time in awhile and my force curves are clearly smoother. My returns now never brush my knees. Coincidence? - time will tell. Thanks!
Thanks for the insight on the row machine. Due to having bi-lateral knee arthritis, I have attempted to pick up for my cardio instead of running. Any other tips for a rookie machine rower enthusiast?
Sometimes in CrossFit workout I have to rowing for calories. Of course I set drag factor to 10. Actually, I always set 10. I think it is also depends on your weight. My weight is 97 kg and I can't feel any resistance of rowing machine if I not set drag factor to 10.
Halo do you mean that a lower resistance is more suitable for a single time rowing test? For example, 30 miniutes. As i feel so hard to row in between4-5 it is too tiring for me to row in this way for 30 min and my peace is too slow. But if i change my resistance in a lower level. Will i row in a faster peace? Or i need to use more strength to row comparing than before as the resistamce is low, then each time you row is easier, then i need to use more strength? Or just a lower resistamce, everyone can row a faster peace?
Need longer foot plates...I wish they were 2-3 inches longer. it would have been nice to throw up the c2 app and drag factor and drive speed ect. Great video Austin.
@@trainingtall I will have to check the brand name in my gym. It is however, certainly not a water-driven rowing machine. The U1, U2, U3... are also present on ellipticals and some other cardio machines.
@@trainingtall hi Austin in off season I train rowing I was the only one who were there at club felt really alone but now every player is coming back they are lacking performance I did 1.59 in 40 minutes other were at 2.02 or higher thank you for your time and effort I love you so much
"Must be good to go"!! LOLOLOLOL Thanks for giving more insight on using the monitor! I tried your suggestion from your, "Best Rowing Fat-Burning Workout 2020" video and I loved it. Kinda like tabata which I do on the treadmill yet you continue to move during the second minute of the interval. I'm thinking about alternating treadmill tabata with the fat burning rowing.

Keep up the amazing work, Mick!!
I'm sitting on a rowing machine, just found your channel and saw this juicy new upload
Oooo what great timing!! Thanks for watching! Happy rowing!
Congrats you found the *** best *** rowing channel on youtube

Thanks a lot, Paolo! Means a lot!
This was very helpful. Thank you so much for the reminders on the set up. I had been putting my straps in the middle of my feet.
Thank you! I used your recommendations here and your body position video with the Olympic athlete. It was my best rowing session ever!
EXCELLENT!! Look at you!!! Awesome!

Dark Horse Rowing has an amazing video on this! Check him out - an AMAZING channel for C2 advice and rowing in general!
Great tip to lower your feet! Thanks for all the great vids.
Thanks Sam! Hope it helps!
I have a Nordictrack and still can't figure out the monitor that well, but I just start rowing for time and distance and I'm happy nonetheless. 😀
I want to review that one next!!
@@trainingtall please do, maybe you can help me understand it better. Lol

Fantastic man!
Much appreciated! Thank you!
So helpful thank you!!

I have quite a few technique videos that you may want to check out! Hope they help!
Another gem! 💣👍
Thank you good sir!
Isn't the resistance from air on this machine? I don't understand how this can wear out over time.
Sometimes in CrossFit workout I have to rowing for calories. Of course I set drag factor to 10. Actually, I always set 10. I think it is also depends on your weight. My weight is 97 kg and I can't feel any resistance of rowing machine if I not set drag factor to 10.
That means you need to PUSH harder each stroke... it's not the resistance itself!
Halo do you mean that a lower resistance is more suitable for a single time rowing test? For example, 30 miniutes. As i feel so hard to row in between4-5 it is too tiring for me to row in this way for 30 min and my peace is too slow. But if i change my resistance in a lower level. Will i row in a faster peace?

Agreed on the footplates!!
Hello. Really well explained . However I am not able to understand what does the U1, U2...(User) is meant for in some rowing machines?
Oh interesting? Which machine?
@@trainingtall I will have to check the brand name in my gym. It is however, certainly not a water-driven rowing machine. The U1, U2, U3... are also present on ellipticals and some other cardio machines.

Even a setting of 10 doesn't feel like too much a drag...I wonder if my technique is wrong or the machine is old...
