At age 19 our training was 10 times a week. It was awsome. I did a 5k in 17:23. So sad that I didn't went on with it. Rowing is so great. There is notning in the world like this. It almost feels like the boat hover above the water. One summer we went arround the island. 60-70k pr day for 6 days. For a week we did nothing but eat, sleep and rowing. I will never forget it. I was some of the best thing I have ever done i my life.
Best explanation of rowing I've ever heard.
Jeeze I miss rowing! Though I still keep at the gym 3 years after my last time being in crew, I'd much rather take on a marathon than an erg. Damn things were torture.
As someone who has done both rowing and middle-distance running, I can officially be classed as insane. There is nothing harder on this earth than those two sports where your body can't stay in one metabolic system, where everything tells you to stop. Sure, its only a 6-7 minute race, but its like standing in fire for 7 minutes! But for some reason, us rowers can't get enough of the pain, and the feeling of finishing a race or work piece is like ecstasy. I crave that feeling, and crave rowing!
0:53 damn thats a good split
And at such a low rate!!!
***** woa.. yeah. 1:40 at 20 spm! 3150 meters in and 10:54 on the clock. ...probably a light warmup pace for this guy.
Lol! Freaking beasts. U row?
Andrej Djurasic 1:43.8 for a 30' rate 20 is actually not that fast. Most college rowers are expected to be around 1:42 or below for a 30'@20
peter stone What colleges are you talking about? The British national team 30' test goal is a 1:40 split, I don't know of many college rowers in general, let alone entire programs, that can put up that split.
Everyday during training i want to quit, but everyday i keep coming back for more
Rowing's not a sport its a way of life.
thee shell,,,,,,,,we love it, and named it "thePainBank"!! And it pays us back on race day, with interest,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
@danielphilipcater Your point is a good one. I love both sports and even row on my university's club team, so to pick between the two would be like comparing apples and oranges.
Apples are much better, not a tricky choice
@tedzelley a split is the time it takes them to go 500m. a 2k is obviously 2 kilometres on the erg and whether it is hard depends on whether you are trying to go fast. It is also the length of regattas (races)
the amount of times ive watched this video before my test pieces..
THIS VIDEO IS SO GOOD AND TRUE
@JernauGurgeh1 @thecaptainbailey Jernau is right. I got to meet Malcolm Howard at HotC in 2008 briefly at a restaurant. We (as junior rowers at the time) were in awe of him. His 6km pb was around 1:35 then, so yes, they can go a bit faster than that. Maybe doing like three pieces?
That erg display showed around 10 minutes at a 20 stroke rate with a 1:40 split. The average split was around 1:43.
Which is crazy. I can't hold a 1:43 for 10 minutes on an open rate, let alone 20 spm...
@Antasion That was the British record at altitude.
@thecaptainbailey
he's also slowly dropping his split the whole time.. Average is 1:43.8, but current at the 3150 mark is 1:40...
I love elk lake. i had a regatta there in the fall
@XOhadley i agree with that, cause im a rower, but it really isnt a sport it's an event.
@absegamifrosh8
He was on a dynamic erg. Your stroke rate on that is like it is on a boat, so it will have been a lot faster than it would have been on a normal erg. Its also Eric Murray.
@crewchamp13 If you pull it higher you get a longer stroke and so a faster time on the erg, try it.
I wish one day i'll have half the strength of these guys...
@skierman91 I see, so you can specialize in a particular distance. It would be nice if they did that with rowing. I am sure some guys at even the club I am in would be better at shorter or longer distance races the standard 2 kilometer one.
Good luck man, those 2K's are hard. I'm a 178 junior in highschool, 2nd year rowing, 2k pr 7:09.3. Hoping to get down to 6:45 for the crash b's
What's your 2k now?
@TheManiacChicken Pinsent pulled 9009 for 30 mins at rate 20 and that's the world record apparently.
@drewskimorley I did row at school and i agree it is an awesome experience but you have to agree it is a pretty flawed method of transportation.
Like David Calder once told me: Embrace the pain.
@XOhadley there isn't a lot that bugs me.. but what makes me lose it is when people claim rowing isn't a sport... I couldn't agree with you more. everyone else just plays GAMES!
pain is good!!! I think so......I don't know anymore, I got kinda lost during the years :D
i love this video....! :)
@XOhadley Second hardest endurance sport in the word.
Any average joe can start a 2k out going hard, its the real rowers who are made when you hit the 750 mark and its time to shift up the rate and ignore the lactic acid in all of your muscles, and its the great rowers who are made when they can take that, then shift up once more with 250 to go.
so true!!!
I have a question I'm a j15 and I pull a 7:20 2k however I'm not in great boat any tips
@rocktheglooves so true. so true.
@jm338 i kno exactly how u feel. i too hav no idea why i love rowing so much but i'm completely addicted
you lucky git, i hope one day to be able to content against monsters such as these men..
BEN RUTLEDGE IS MY COACH!!!!!!!
@skierman91 Cross country skiing, it is bloody heard so I hear.
@thecaptainbailey I'll be honest with you, yes they're tank but that was probably an hour or more on the erg. I'm not a fantastic rower, top club level/U23 and I can do do a 1:42 ish for my 30@20 test. I would expect these guys to be doing 1:40 or less for 30 minutes at rate 20.
@rocktheglooves Hahahaha! If we are talking about Men's Eights then yes! But look at the canadian Mens four!
@sugga57 r u talkin about an erg test? i agree in every word u said... theres nothing that hurts like a 6k test.. i've done pretty much things that hurt a lot but a 6k test is THE thing i hate most.
Brian Price came to my school today.
lololol. :D
@skierman91 How far do you skiers race competitively?
not going to comment on any other part of this arguement, but what is with everyone and the 60km/h thing? the world record in 8's the average speed was only around 22-23 km/h, which is about 1:20 splits..
at 16, it is a bad time
What name is the music? I' d Like to use it in an erg video.. Thanks in advance.
@saltyfamily everett rowing. north of seattle
@mogilska1 you sir, are a genious.
Such a good vid :) does anyone know what the song is at 0:28?
Is there more footage of this crew by any chance?
@mayandour I don't like to hate, but I couldn't help but notice that your only subscription is JustinBieberVEVO. :P Top olympic rowers pull sub-1:40 for 30' rate 20 (over 9k), and open 60' (over 18k); 1:41 for 18k (just over 60') rate 20? I assume you're joking.
@redskater42 you mean it's the only men's eight WITH the crazy lie back...
Damn, THAT'S quick. I doubt I could even go under 1:55 for my 6K, even though a power calculator says I could do it at 1:53.8.
Probably because technique isn't as much of a factor on the Erg as it would be on the water.
Very few things are more difficult physically and mentally than a 2k
To anyone that says crew isn't a sport...
Honestly, you try and erg multiple 2k pieces with a coxswain or coach screaming in your ear, "GO NEGATIVE!"
up the rowers!!
what are the songs in this video?
the eight is the only candian crew with out the crazy lie back
Im a college freshman novice 6:27 at 177lbs. dont even tell me im not going fast enough.
7:09 at 16 is kinda bad
@absegamifrosh8 you mean eric murray?
@themacattack671 GW? Me and my eight have a regatta coming up in two weeks against people we have destroyed before, if we win then we will represent Great Britain in the Junior Olympics.
@Sn0000pdogg lol i got that shirt at narf with the blue oar hahah
tino?
@sugga57 what did you hold
Well my first day of Novice crew (I've never rowed before) is tomorrow, my coach linked me to this page, and ya, I'm fairly intimidated now.
howd ur rowing career go?
@mayandour maybe 141 watts.....
@redskater42 although, they are kinda fast... :S But they can be better :) maybe one day they will kick butt...
6:57 at 13. Holy shit. I'm 16 and a do a 7:09. And that's not necessarily a bad time, either.
Hi
@mayandour honestly mate, I'd be more likely to believe you if you told me you ran 100m in under 9.5 seconds.
@mogilska1 is your 2k 1:43?
I´m a gentleman and a rower...what´s the problem with it???
So you're trying to say that you can travel over 60 km/h in one of these boats? Yeah, okay. I believe you.
@fallenpumpkinhead works for me!
My coach calls it a gentleman's sport...
I wish I could throw my coxswain that far
@mogilska1 that is not true
and i can know i becouse i rowing veri much
@theotherspice I don`t think anyone would be "gentleman" if his whole body is burning and he still have to go on.
6:44 is sick if your a 150lbs novice
@jengrey really not that difficult my friend, i've seen first year under 15s do that
i love how hard rowers have to work to go at 10 miles an hour
@Sn0000pdogg Professional cyclists are the best athletes around. Hands down.
@mayandour aaaaaahahahahahahahahaaa....
Rowing = awesome.
Pain + suffering = not awesome
@mayandour Seeing as you're hiding behind a name on the internet, I dont find you amazing either.
Too bad us Brits will ruin the party ;)
@mayandour maybe 141 watts.....
