#High Performance Rowing

If you want to take 8-12 seconds off your 2K in 6-8 weeks then this is for you. If you’re only focusing on aerobic capacity, you’re missing a key piece of the puzzle: peak power. According to Ed McNeely, Canada’s strength & conditioning coach when they won gold in 2008 and contributor to Rowing Faster, peak power is what sets the ceiling on your performance. The higher your peak power, the easier it is to sustain a faster pace over 2K. So, how do you train it? Well for the work to actually have a speed and power impact it needs to be above 90% of peak power. To train peak power, training needs to be around 8-15 seconds, with at 1:6 work:rest ratio. Perform 10-second (or 7 Strokes) all-out sprints on the ergo with a high drag factor (around 200). Rest for 60 seconds between sprints, and continue until your peak power drops below 90% of your best effort for two consecutive sprints. This ensures you’re targeting the ATP-CP energy system, which is responsible for short, explosive bursts of power. Take a 5-minute rest, then perform another set, aiming for a total of 20 sprints. This type of training is intensive on the Central Nervous System (CNS) so start out twice per week, and build to no more than 4 times per week. The result? Increased peak power and better 2K performance. According to McNeely, many athletes, from masters rowers to college-aged competitors, have reported improvements of 8-12 seconds on their 2K times after just 6 weeks of peak power training. Why does this work? Peak power training ensures you’re maximizing every stroke without reaching muscular failure. As long as your power output stays above 90% of your best, you’re making progress. This type of high-intensity training will not only boost your peak power but also improve your overall speed and efficiency, helping you row faster for longer. #rowing #rudern #aviron #rowinglife #rowingtraining #indoorrowing Reference: McNeely, E.

We miss our beautiful soul Luke, (the 1st rower). Luke and his teammates are adjusted everyday, iced after practice, consumes 5,000 calories per day (6,000 in season) 40 minutes stretching before and after practice, 90% of the men fail their EKG because of their above average heartbeat intensity. We are grateful that he has a qualified team of coaches, trainers and doctors caring for them, they could not do this alone. CALL 856 227 3480 to be adjusted and gain athleticism!

Although it may not be fully predictive of water performance, the erg is the most honest feedback you’ll receive on your individual output other than taking out a single. Even if you think you’re “effective enough” on the water without a fast erg, you can still absolutely level up your speed by training and executing at high intensities on a rowing machine. #rowing #rowingmachine #erg #crew #umichrowing #michiganrowing #howtorow #concept2 #ergtest #2ktest #crossfit #erging #aviron

🎯 Rowing Without the River 🌊🚣‍♂️ Ever seen a kayak sprint without leaving the room? 💡 Welcome to one of the most advanced sports labs in the world — where elite paddlers train on water without ever stepping outside. 💪💦 Strapped in for performance, this athlete is using a high-tech indoor flume, which mimics real river resistance and current. The controlled flow lets coaches track every stroke, torque, and tempo. 🔁💻 From Olympic prep to cutting-edge sports science, this is how champions are built — with precision, passion, and paddle power. 🥇🇺🇸🇩🇪🇭🇺 Would you try this kind of training? Or are you sticking to the open lake? 👀🔥 #KayakTraining #IndoorFlume #SportsScience #AthleteLife #OlympicPrep #PaddlePower #CanoeSprint #Hydrodynamics #EliteTraining #ReelScience #kayaking #fyp

Congratulations to freshman Nick Bryan for breaking the team’s 2k record this afternoon. Nick finished in 5:53.9 (1:28.4 split), eclipsing the previous program best of 5:55.3 set by Noah Messner in 2018. The Orange will return to the water soon as spring racing season approaches! #goorange #rowing #syracuse
