Forgot to check average watts. Would have been nice to be able to compare to the sprint rows from last month. Anyone know how to calculate average watts from distance in metres over 30sec?
Martin- Just a word of caution. The formula that these calculators use is:
P = 2.8(d/t)^3
where d and t are your distance and time. This is _only_ true if you have rowed at a constant speed throughout the entire interval. So, over large distances this is a pretty good approximation because most of the time is spent rowing at a steady pace...but in a short interval like a 30 sec sprint this is typically a poor assumption because there is a lot of acceleration going on. So depending on how fast you accelerate to your top speed and if you can maintain it, there can be a lot of error in estimating your average power using any of the online calculators.
1197, I wanted/expected more. Played with damper on every round and it seems somewhere between 5-7 is best for this time/distance. My one round below 170m (164m)was @ damper 3, my best was 176m @ damper 6.
Recovery good, I just don't have the power in my hips to really kill this WOD. If I was to repeat this WOD my damper wouldn't go below 5. Ass slippage was present again so I may have to play with the foot stretchers, too.
My bis are really pumped up, that's not a good sign.
My word is 'dedgerls', as in that's what my arms feel like.
Thanks to Laura for talking me into doing this after a 1rm deadlift session where I pulled a PB of 276# :o) I felt good for the first 3 rounds but the last 4 were a stru--gle! However, once it was over I was glad I did it.
Total=1158m 167,168,167,160,168,164,164 Played with damper 9-5, 8&7 felt best slipping off of seat at lower settings but over all pretty happy with effort much better then last row sprints
damper 7 for all. played with foot board on 1st and last set. I don't really think it made a difference between notch 3 for 2-6 and 1 on the other two. Got a little queasy but not as much as last time when I did it early a.m. According to De Vany maybe I got more GH fasted/first thing=queasy. I dunno.
176m @ damper 5 176m @ 5.5 177m @ 6 175m @ 6 173m @ 5.5 172m @ 5 171m @ 5 total - 1220m In the last 2 intervals they form started to drop off in the last 10 seconds. The seat was all over the place. To warm up I did power snatch, OHS & hang squat snatch, then power snatch and hang squat snatch and finally squat snatch. All were singles. I ended up getting a PR snatch @ 155# and still felt like I had more to give.
Total meters = 1223 (Damper 6 all the way through)
Catching up after being out all week with the flu. Did yesterday's workout a little while before the row intervals.
A: 60/70/80f/80/83kg B1: 40kg (2.5 pood) unbroken x 3 B2: 3/3/2 (embarassing!!) C1: pace definitely made these ones burn C2: unbroken x 3 (finally got the hang of the kipping T2B)
James, sorry for the late message but my name didn't make it into the overall results for last weekend (not that I was a contender) is it because I subbed DB Thrusters for the wall balls?
@ OPT @ 10:30AM 174/167/163/160/162/155/156=1137 gave all I had so it is what it is. Work capacity needs to come back & then improve from there. Thanks Geoff/Corson Good rows Rob & Brent!
144/138/115[fell off ~ 12 secs left]/138/136/136/133 [fell off with 6 secs left and kept rowing] Total = 943 First 2 @ damper 6 Remainder @ damper 4 Need to work on faster turn over Thanks to Geoff and Rob for trying to "fix" my form - will keep your comments in the frontal lobe for next time.
Notes: - Done at home. - Damper at 7 on all sets. - Lost the seat a little in set 5. - Unhappy with my Power Ratio here, previous workouts of Sprint Row have yielded much higher Power Ratios. I am still nursing the hurt right knee, so I am not overly concerned. - Need to play with damper settings and determine best for me in relation to Power. Thinking about trying 5/6.
Watched the Wods from the black box summit - i must say the ROM on their pullups was very suspect. I really appreciate James emphasis on complete full rom i think it makes us all better athletes. I would hope that all those owners of their own boxes would be more particular about their ROMs hmmmmm
Did an extra :30 about 20min Later on damper Zero to see the results, and my score was 184 which was my second highest during the wod on damper 7. I'll take this as an indication of my stroke getting more efficient.
- Was right around 200m on each round - Didnt even think to look at or change the damper - First time on a rower since the Games. It's good to be back and to have access to equipment!! - I'm not sure how to use the concept 2, so it will take me a bit to get comfortable here. How do you keep from falling off the damn thing?!?
Thanks for the early post!! Anyway to get them at this time everyday??
