Im a high school rower and watching this is funny compared to all our times 😂 We can all see this guy has worked hard for this with hours of painful suffering. Thats rowing
Some would say his technique might be considered more than decent considering he set a world record? Though hopefully internet pros like you can give him advice
Mate, I remember pulling out a 3:15 years ago and being the most gassed I've ever been. Seeing your soul leave your body really took me back. Onya big rig!
Yeah recently I showed my sister how to row a 2k with proper technique at the gym, and then I tried a 1k and got around a 3:15 -- 3:16. I was gassed and realized I forgot my water bottle so I had to slowly get up and find a water fountain Rowing is the most tiring thing I've ever done, more so than track sprinting I have to say.
I came back here to watch this again just to realize that anything is possible with discipline and hard work! An absolute mind boggling effort!! 💪🏻🚣🏻♀️👊🏻💯
It is amazing that someone so muscular can maintain that much power output and such a high stroke rating for so long. Typically someone with that much muscle would become momentarily incapacitated from the extreme amount of lactic acid coursing through their body. Keeping splits under 120 for 3 250 splits is so impressive. I think he could beat his own record if he wanted to.
Love the last 250 - that looked hard, as it should. You had it in the first 750 like you wanted but still had to make sure in the final 250 and you did.
Do you ever bolt them machines down? I’ve been getting back in shape after finding out that I used to row at record setting paces. I’m not as small as I used to be. When I start getting near a 1:20/500m pace the machines start walking and jumping all over the place.
hey bro, i like to accelarate the rower with 3 fast rows at the start and only after that starting im starting to pull at steady pace. What do you thnik about this techinque, have you ever tried it and if yes why not use it? Does it burn you out too much in the start or is it only preference.
Anyone else amazed at how his forehead and lips turn completely purple at his last split and as he recovers color comes back. Now that is some physiological change!
I just wonder if James would have gotten even better results if he had set up a pace boat with a 1m19.6s 500M pace, started a little bit faster with barely a lead, but only picking up the pace at the very end. For mere mortals, at least you could tell how realistic your efforts are.
NGL i dont feel as bad now after doing 650 in 2min and nearly dying, considering i have only consistently trained for about 1.5 months and didnt do any rowing in years. Fucking impressive!
A world record is a world record. In addition, James is being modest but he pulls under 6 minutes for the 2000m on both the rower and the SkiErg. That's a great time for anybody and it's nuts considering his musculature, particularly on the rower. I would have thought it impossible for his body to shed the heat fast enough to pull that time.
