As part of my gym routine i do 2000m on highest resistance, anyone else do this and what time do you do it in??

 

I use this too, but simply as a 5 min muscle warm up and cool down to my daily weights routine, but i can take note of how far i row in 5 mins tomorrow if you want pal.

 

I only just started really but i did 1000m in about 7min., and i was fooooked.

 

Stu.... you need to do the 2000m as fatigue takes over at about half way.... my average is 7.30 with a pb of 7.18 (after which i could hardly see for 30 secs ).. let me know baby

 

I do this quite a lot. Usually I just do 20 minutes and try to keep going 2000m per 10 minutes. But it's part of my longer routine wich has some other exercises of this kind (cycling, cycling with hands workout or this thing on which you walk veryfast - sorry I don't know names of those in English) so I cannot end up on the floor out of breath

I do 45-50 minutes of this kind of stuff before normal workout with weights and machines.

 

mine is part of routine... i do the rowing after 30mins on the bike

 

I change order and kind of those because I would get bored to death. Also I had to cut on rowing machine as my spine is not up to the job :-( Spine limits me very much in exercises :-(


I think I'll try how much distance I can cover moximum over 5 minutes. Maybe sometime after my normal training

 

Did my 5 mins today, and achieved...

















Wait for it!!
















920m

 

Not good :-/

But you still have much more muscle then me

 

ok, now you have a target you beat! next time cover 1000 in 5 mins

 

Martoon, il have nailed the 5min 1K by Wednesday

 

nice

 

Fooking Goal...


5mins...

1037m rowed.










7:18 for 2000 sounds damn painfull!!

 

and your next target shall be 1100

 

Indeed it shall... however, at this rate il be too fucked to lift any weights

I shall report back tomorrow night.

 

*Will browses ebay for a rowing machine so as not to look like a complete nugget 'going for it' on the rower at work...*

Good effort guys - next time i'm in the gym this week i'll report back with my time

 

I'm going to gym tommorow morning (7AM), maybe I'll try how much I can do in 5 minutes AFTER my routine

 

 

Stu @ M Developments I'l let you know.


Mind you I'll be after 45-50 minutes of cardio trening and 3 muscles groups on free weights. I'll try hard though

 

After reading this I decided to give 2000m a go came up at 8 mins and 26 seconds, so got a a challenge ahead me thinks for sub 8 second 2000m! Will keep you posted!

 

My best for 5 mins is 1342

I couldnt walk after that but it was good.

Martin thats a crackin time i ll give that a crack to anything under 10 mins i d be happy with

 

that's about the same as me! i checked my distance at 5 min and it was 1365 but i still had to do the rest of the 2000m so i was leaving something in reserve.... i may just try 5min and see what i can do

 

1066 today.

 

checked mine during my 2000m row at 5 mins again today.. pretty consistant at 1370

 

Hmm... I reckon i was built for towing, not rowing

 

keep at it baby! now you have figures you can work against them

 

I will catch you in teh end Martoon, just you wait and see...

 

that won't happen soon! how do i know? what was you eating last time i saw you? i have not had one of those for 6 months!!

 

Honestly dont recall mate, but im on the wagon now and im coming to get ya

 

ok let me help your memory.... tube of pringles!!!!

 

In my defence.. i didnt eat the whole tube, it was a snack between three of us for the 7hr drive to Folkestone!!

Id come off my diet to enjoy the german trip as its 80% about socialising and food. I assure you my diet is far healthier day to day.

Anyway.. your just scared im going to come along and smash your record.

 

fair play on the pringles how long will it take for you to smash my time? Spoke to Lee about my time and he recons i am at a big disadvantage with this rowing thing due to my size and weight ... which means you should find it easier!!!!!

 

God only knows mate, but i will keep on trying and tahts what counts!

I am off teh GYM now till Monday as i feel im coming down with something, feel bloody grim, but i will tray harder next week and post some more times.

 

i don't think you should be training everyday.... i do.. tues, thurs, sunday and that's enough!

 

I take on board your concern Martoon but I have 2 full days off, Wednesday & Sunday. Thursday is just light cardio, no heavy training. Been doing this 2part split routine for 6months now with good results so far mate.

 

I'll try this next week and let you know what I do.

Need to go more often hardly ever go now.

 

this mornings session i managed 7min 17.6 eat that!

 

Off to the Gym soon, will try for 1100.

I guess with my five min warmup sessions, i need to get a distance of 1000m in 3.6mins approx. No problem...



















Fook.

 

1177 Today. We are on the up and chasing Martoon... hes rowing for his life.

 

he he nice one but even when you get to the 1370m in 5 mins you still have to carry on for the balance of the 2000m to equal my effort i might try a balls out 5 min row and see what i get.
