Nice video! I would guess that the values in the chart do not represent what I see in the video. When I do take my time to do long, powerful and proper strokes, I rarely go above 18/20 spm.
This is helpful, and mirrors what I was told at school. The power curve should indeed resemble a female breast - steep rise at the front end, then peaking and falling slightly less sharply at the back end. An asymmetric hill, in other words.
Please let us weaklings scale the max force curve too 500 or a personal value... Even better, make it auto scale based on the maximum detected in a workout. 1000 is too much for beginners, 1500 is for athletes only . Also, i can do a 88cm stroke max, so the max length of 120 is also not really helpful for my curve scaling.
Hi Merlins Robe, "exploding at the catch" refers to a shape of your force curve where it peaks really quickly (at the catch) and then gradually (almost linearly even) declines. The "arm pull" is the most common error to create this curve but in theory, other mistakes could create a similar curve. Hope this clears things up. Happy rowing!
