WHAT DRAG FACTOR TO USE ON THE ROWING MACHINE | CONCEPT2 - ERIK MURRAY ON DRAG FACTOR | E4S2

Показать описание

Some people think treat the resistance on the rowing machine like a weights stack. It is not quite like this unfortunately. Rowing fast does not mean a high drag. The GB test drag factor is 138 which is around 6-7 depending on the rowing machine used. Some very powerful athletes will use higher drag factors for short intervals. High volume pieces usually use a little lower frag factor!

Love the edit at the start and great topic. I always have the damper set at 5 for anything from10 x 100m,  a 2k test to 30min UT2. I'll certainly look at the Concept2 piece now and will look at doing reduced drag sessions for the tekkers you talk about... thanks again!

This was good, it helps explain that you would go the max drag or min drag depending on the type of training you are doing. I read or saw somewhere that depending on your weight class and male or female, drag factor 120 -130 is the closest simulation to rowing on the water.

could you talk about the differences / advantages of both sprinting/short distance and steady state/long distance in one of your episodes ? These videos are really helpful !

Cool vids man. Is there a specific drag factor used in official competitions?

dont forget the fact that if the ergos are older the drag factor decreases as less air comes through the protective cover of the fan, a new ergo on 10 may be over 200 on the drag factor and an old ergo could be also set on 10 but drag factor would be 150 or sometimes even less. I use 10 for power strokes at low rate just to mimic a weights session but using the rowing movement

Getting back into rowing. After 3 years not being in a boat or on an erg I want to give Henley one more try. Would you recommend training ut2 and stick with heart rate zone even if split are awful at the beginning and throw in some weights. Or mix ut2, ut1, AT/TR and weights to mix up things and to shock the body a bit more? Planning on losing 15kg as well. Love the vids btw made me want to get back in a boat. Will give you a hey buddy if I see you in Leander when I visit in a few weeks.

By 138 being the GB standard, does that mean they cap it at 138 or that you have to be at 138 and no higher/lower? And what about your UT1 drag?

I'm currently using damper setting 7 and it used to be a good setting for but I find that I'm fatigued after 5-10, would you suggest lowering it to about a 5, would my body still get the same benefits? I'm currently using it for calorie burn

Maximum watts on a 10-15 stroke test using damper factor #1. Stay loose, be ready to change direction at the catch by sneeking up on it.. It for sure is high, high rating, but slide control is still key. Engage, and instant lightning drive/speed, , ,yea. We are going to find out who has that engagment, or are you letting the oar handle push your arms at the catch. All for the boat. No erging medals at the Olympics.

What's the point of having drag factor up to 10?

Been rowing for years. I've always used factor 10 all the time, I do 10k's every other day on this setting and have never had an injury. Am I just lucky?

Good info, but the background music is distracting.

Im very confused now! Ive always used 10 for 20K so my movement has adapted to do it with that DF. So based on what you say if I change it to 5-6 then I have to change the technique? Will it be faster? Ive tried with 8 DF but its quite uncomfortable and it takes forever... you always put everything upside down 🙃.
PS. Outfit is on point. Whoever gave you that jersey has excellent taste.
