For those of you that do train a little for MX...
Is anybody else using the Concept 2 rower? I recently got one for my home to mix in with my other workouts I started last fall, I also was using them with my college crew team, and I have to say, these things are an incredible full body workout if used correctly. Easily my most loved/hated piece of equipment to use. Can't tell you how many times I wanted to puke when I finished a workout on it.
I feel in great shape right now (better than I ever have coming off winter for sure) and I'm dying to see what I can do once I get back on the thumpers.
I'm just wondering if anybody else has found these Concept 2s a usful tool to train in the past? And if you saw noticeable results once back on the bike

I did jump on one of the things once and have to say the thing was pretty strange in comparision to the Concept 2. I didn't feel I was getting a full row motion in and I didn't feel I was able to push nearly as hard. If it's all you have though, I'd says it's better than not doing anything.
Hey also, Gregg, the foot stirrups come loose - after each pull back, they loosen just a little, but after about 2 minutes, I have to reach down and re-tighten. Is there an easy fix for this or do I have to get management to replace them? It's bad enough that I quit using the machines.
BTW - the web site has the times from LL's - for your own comparisons.
Just about beat Pastrana 1:28.6 500m time a little while ago with a 1:28.7. Those last 200m kill me though, as you can see below with my last stroke being a 1:35. That dude with the 1:21 is insane... When I'm peaking I'm barely pulling that kind of time right now...
Tonight after working from 11am to 11pm... yeah I'm patting my own back :

What do you want?
Our thread back!
Edit: I had no idea how old this shit was lmao!
The weird part is, riding/racing actually makes my back feel better!
I didn't realize the thread was that old, I just remember seeing a discussion here but them and when I ran across that auction listing I did a search and posted it.
I am actually a little impressed by my memory.
Now, what were we talking about again?
What day is it?
No changes in engine type or suspension technology. Same as it ever was...
