Thanks Coach, good workout.

I am new to rowing (learned last year at age 60). I’m getting ready for my first race (a head race) in October. My coach referred me to your videos. They have been extremely helpful. Your last 10 minutes talking about shortening the catch was particularly helpful because couldn’t figure out why I wasn’t getting faster. Cheers, mate!

What a great workout! I struggle with higher stroke rates, but this 1 spm increments really helped. Thanks Eric.

Thanks Eric. I was very much inspired by my Dutch fellow rowers. Of course most by Caroline Florijn. 😊

Eric, thank you!

Thank you for the superb workout, Eric!

Great tech session and plenty of takeaways I might keep !

Eric, it’s incredible how quickly an half hour flies by when I row with you! Thank you 🎉

Great workout Eric ! I like the low strokes per minute, it helps a lot on my form, and maintain consistency. Again Thank you Eric , you’re the best ! (Rich)

good workout after a layoff, 30s rest was challenging

Thnx Eric. I loved it.

Great work out - ad’s killed it though -

Great, just great thanks!

Thanks Coach, great workout, always tough coming back down

Great session thanks for the detailed guidance really helpful Coach!

Thanks Coach, very good workout, really helped get some additional pressure into the stroke.

Thank you for the great short straight-forward video. I've been wanting to learn to row for years and I still hope to take a LTR class, even though I'm technically old. The legs and back are still ok.😃

Saludos desde Paraguay, Sud America, siempre atentos siguiendo las rutinas, ya estamos en categoria master F!!!, siempre adelante !!!

Excellent workout , gets me to go down memory lane with the workout Thames in Re Focus with your Asensei program . Thank you Eric ! (Rich)

Thanks coach, enjoyed the continuous row, requires mental commitment to a sustainable level of power

Eric, just going back and watching this Q&A at the end again. Just saw you have a TV on the wall.... If you have room to set up the rower sideways to the TV, then you might be able to record you on the rower and the force curve mirrored to the TV. You might be able to use your phone instead of your camera to focus in on the force curve and then 'screen mirror' the phone to the TV. The screen mirror is pretty low latency.

Good workout, thinking of Mel Gibson "Freedom" all the way

Absolutely love these workouts,looking forward to the next already. Thanks cheers.

That was brutal! … set 11 went up to 37 s/m but the last set could not keep up and ended up @34. Great learning session! Thank you coach 🙏🏼

Is there any hard sessions you’ll find most clubs do as in 500s, 750s, 1ks with 1-3mins rests and a set rate. I thinking how to work out what splits to aim for set pieces you guys do in this app as rate varies a lot. The common 500s or 5mins etc are easier to know a rough split to hold?

Loved this one,great workout. Thank you.

Thank-you for quick reply and info. I use ErgData and the C2 PM5 for all rows, then go to C2 logbook for the data. I think showing consolidated force curve info over time would be very useful especially as fatigue sets in. Really this would be great training tool.

Thanks Coach, good workout. I use the force curve for all my workouts. Is there a way to get more analytics from the force curve? There should be an equation that describes the "smoothness" of the curve, right? I enjoyed the time you took to show the curves that you generated, very useful. Thanks.

Thanks coach, great workout, pretty gassed with 30s rests.

Thanks so much.. if I understand correctly developing power is the base to the higher rate race pieces. This time of year there is a clamour for ‘higher rate’ pieces with long rests but I think that misses the point that first higher rate without technique and power is not effective (causes injuries?). Developing power and have short rests develops Vo2 max, effective power and technique? Or am I wrong and if you want to race 1k in 5-6 weeks say just do lots of rate 34 etc 4min pieces?

Frame looks perfect

Thanks Coach, great workout. Sneaky tough at the end. Had to keep it smooth to get the 1-2 sec pace increase at rate change

What a fantastic workout Eric! Can’t thank you enough.

Thanks Coach, I really enjoyed the pressure increase workout! checking the power curve for higher slope, decreased drive time, and better times. It helped break the stroke down into drive/rest. Let's do this again.

Thanks coach! Love to apply this to a 1K, see if can sustain

So smooth. Brilliant technique.

Eric, you hit it out of the the park with this one, you make rowing so enjoyable! Thank you!🎉

Thanks Coach, good workout.

I loved this workout, Eric. Would integrating this workout into my weekly schedule help to increase my strength?

At the last set , I felt it difficult to hit the s/m without going to high , it made me try to be more patient . Great workout Eric ! (Rich)

Eric, super workout! Thanks!

Great experience. Thx a lot 😊

Lovely workout coach! Definitely putting in more watts per stroke to keep the fan moving.

Amazing session with a different approach to test the optimal drag.

Thanks for the workout! Thought that the lower drag would be easier, no. Learned that the speed movement itself really takes it out of me, and the last one with normal drag was a killer!

Thanks Eric! Love these livestreams - I like 22-24 rate!

I have a waterrower with the old style monitor and the asensei cannot connect to it. So, it seems like waste of an app (which is quite pricey - incredibly pricey - for an app). They say they connect to WaterRowers, Concept 2 and many other machines. But clearly, not all! And if you have an older or different rower, you cannot even use the app in manual mode! Which renders it dead.

Excellent video and probably the gold standard in terms of bringing everything together on the what, why, how and when for warming up. The only question I would have is how you would use or adapt this to erg competition when for example the Aussie indoor titles when you have 3 races in the day being the 2km, 1km and 500m and you want to do all of them and the rest between races is 2 hours. Taking into consideration that post each of the first two races a solid warm down will be needed to push that lactate around and out. How would you amend the warmup in before race 1, between race 1 and 2 and then race 2 and 3?

This is great info, thank you!
