    I've had the dial on the line between the 9 and 10 this whole time, mainly because that's just where it always is and I know nothing about this shit, but I also figure it just most closely simulates what I want to get out of it, which is being able to ride a dirt bike or track bike for longer than 15 minutes without bitching out. I want muscle endurance more than cardio. Still think 4 to 5?

    I usually go to a 3 or 3.5, and even down to 2.5 if my back has any soreness or I’m out of shape.

    Occasionally I will set the thing on 10 and try to row 10-12 strokes per minute to get a “weightlifting” rowing workout.

    Think the last time I raced a 500m I set it to 6.

    I only know how to row downhill.


    that's cheating
    Only if you are good at it. Ever fuck up a line through a rapid? You'll be doing a lot more cardio than just rowing.
    Especially if you fuck up on a river back in Appalachia near @Swaye ‘s trailer. You’ll be squealing like a pig in no time.
    Can confirm. Involuntary butt stuff is best butt stuff.

    Yes. Maybe 6 if you want but no more than this is needed.

    What resistance setting are you guys using for these 10K tests? I've been making pretty big improvements, but I still get the impression that I could row every day for five years and still not make it to 10K without dying. I've plateued at between 3600 and 4K, depending on the day, at about a 2:03 clip. Then I cry for a half hour.

    8
    Nyet!!
    I row at 8 whether it's 2k, 10k, half marathon, or full marathon. Just feels comfortablest. It's been decades since I've been in a reel boat, so mimicking the feel is lost on me
    Do you use the same machine all the time?
    Each machine could be different due to wear and tear so it automatically calculates the drag factor which is the true measure of resistance. You can find it in the settings.

    Google concept 2 drag factor if you want to think and care.

    Cool. My point was that your 8 setting could represent 6 (or 10) on another machine.

    Either way it won't be interesting.

    Nerdlarping aside, so what I'm hearing is that setting 10 on my machine could be is the equivalent of setting 38 on everyone else's, and I'm actually a badass?

    Or is my machine broken, 'cause I lowered it from 10 to 6 and it was somehow harder than before?
