I tried the WORST 2000m row strategy so you don't have to

- Hello Yotubers! Today I managed a 2000m row on the rowing machine for an online rowing competition but it wasn't the strategy I would recommend to anyone. For the competition the points were for the 3rd 500 and the overall time. For those that have not done a 2k, generally the 3rd 500m is the hardest 500m as you have spent a lot of energy already and you are not very close to the end yet!
I would recommend a more negative split 2k where you start ata speed and get faster. Or even a flat paced row where you hold the same split for the majority of the piece.

Killer fucking monitor there. Every time he shows the ergo I say "holy shit" outloud
You got some great reactions from the guys behind you I'll tell ya that
Great support from them #yamsquad
When is the next 2k, which you are taking serious? Would like to know.
Hey Cameron, I'm so mad that your tank top yamsquad on your website is sold out! Hopefully new merch comes soon :((
This is great!😂 Can’t be fun, great vid
Wow that was some pain face at the end. I'm so glad you did that so we didn't have to #yamsquad
@Frank Astier ah you have a point there 🤮
7:50... when your brain goes to sleep after a workout haha.
That’s the most torturous event I’ve ever heard of 😂😂 they wanted everyone to suffer that much more
“worst 2k plan”
*rows my 2K plan*
:(
Still a better strategy than fly and die :P (aka going all out from the begining and holding on as long as possible)
would've been cool to have your hr monitor mated with the rower
Have you ever been to Castle Sinclair? It must be wonderful to live in a Country that has such great sites.
What would your damper setting be at for a normal 2km lad ?
...595 watts ave in that 3rd section 🚂🚃🚃.. Followed with 466 watts ave in the final 500...💀🤢🚿💪💪👍
Why would you ever do this to yourself for fun
me flying and dying
How to suffer even more from a 2K time trial... insane 😱
Great channel Cameron! Just wondered what the software/fitness gear is you use for the stats on screen?
Thanks! I use the ergdata app 👍
@@CameronBuchan awesome, thanks!
Amazing video! Do you find it easier to 2k around others that are 2king as well, or would you rather 2k alone?
Thank you! I think the atmosphere with people doing a 2k around you can add a little bit of motivation. Doing one alone though doesn't mean it would be slower. My PB was done alone!
Strathclyde is soo good to row at.
Wait, I'm confused. Do you get paid as a rower, or do you have a separate job? If you can make a living solely off rowing, that's awesome.
he doesnt get paid from winning races he gets paid from us watching him win races lol and brands sponsoring him.
He gets a lot of views and not a lot of subscribers but subscribers arent money views are so his channel is overall very successful
I just cannot maintain the wattage. It's nit that my muscles are burning, my heartrate is spiking and I szruggle to get air. I did 4 intervals yesterday with an averaga of 1:45, but after each 500 I had ca. 1 minute rest. To maintain the 1:45 all through the 2k seems like sci-fi at the moment.
Frankly, you said it yourself. You can't maintain the wattage. This will mean you either aren't strong or fit enough to do so. Try slower splits to see what you an hold then build from there
How do you track recovery?
Mostly by feel, by weight and heart rate
Deep in the PAIN CAVE! Hey C what do you generally row 5K at for PB? around 135? Or higher? I am as big as you are and cant get under 18M but just started rowing this year
I feel like it is easier w the lever on flywheel at 7 to 8 vs where you do it at around 5.5 to 6 - right? Thoughts are greatly appreciate - I have bunch of LA County Baywatch lifeguards watching you and starting to row in the off season - keep up the comedy!!
That's awesome Robert! When I'm around LA we'll have to grab a bite to eat! Food is fuel after all! I'm about to make a video about drag factor abs resistance, hopefully it'll answer your questions!
@@CameronBuchan SWEEEETT - Great food is great fuel and I consider Guinness great food - probably wrong of me but happy to get some with you if you roll into town - there is a great little row house in Marina Del Rey on the river that UCLA uses - you would love it! There is a rowing machine in our Venice headquarters and we all use it but all of us are VERY clueless and compete against each other in wintertime. Getting from 20 minutes to low 18s (DEEP pain cave) was conditioning but now we all realize there is a necessity to understanding the stroke and the snap and that drag resistance. Based on a ton of comments on your UA-cam channel a video on this subject is going to be loved because I do not think any of us really understand optimal drag and specifically the difference between a 2k a 5k and a 10k. Keep yamming!
I can't "blast" for the final 500m... 300m tops... 200m ideal.
best thing you can remember before your 2k test as a mental preparation is that it's NOT 6 mins of pain. It's 5 mins of focus then 1 minute of pain. It's only 1 minute!
Definitely one way to think about it!
It is not 1 min of pain… unless your talking the last 800m. but every 2k ive done has ended in vomit and jelly legs for the day. (6:28)
@@CryptixV haha you're right there. anyone who ever does it right need carrying off the erg, even 20 mins after. I just mean in the actual 2k itself. For me it's 500m hard effort, then 500m of efficiency, then 500 of focussed aggression, then 500m of gasping pain fighting every mental demon in my brain. I really don't understand people who walk away afterwards, how can you be happy with your effort if you're walking away
Hi Cameron, as an old oarsman who was never as good as you, I can’t help noticing you take the catch with your arms & then hold your arms bent throughout the leg drive …. are your arms really as strong as your legs ?
Hi Chris. Thanks for the feedback! You're right I do bend the arms. Something that I've been trying to shake. I am not "pulling" with my arms past where they are finding load though, where they connect my legs. Of course the bigger muscles are stronger. I see it as a result of the machine itself. The wheel has to change direction so there is a point with zero resistance. Some people "catch" this point with a "bum shove" some people with an arm bend. I'd ve more concerned if it was as bad on the water!
Next time try a BWOR (best and worst of rest) drill? A BWOR can be applied to a 2000 m time trial or any other distance that is a multiple of 500 m. The aim is to minimise the sum of the best and the worst 500 m split out of the whole piece, an exercise that makes you train your end sprint really.
So a flat paced strategy?
Yes, the optimum is a flat-paced piece followed by an all-out final 500 m.
At least you had a bit of sun outside.
That sounds horrible. I find that the absolute worst part of any workout is between about the half way point and the 2/3 point. Having to go all out during that worst possible time? Cringe.
That looked horrible.
It did not feel like the over all time suggests!
damn how tall are you…? 5:49? im 156lb and 6:28 wanna have a singles race?
