Cool video..! But we need a bit more info please. How do I know witch drag factor number is right for me according to my body weight and how tall I am? Is there some king of chart or a good rule of thumb to start from? Also how do I check this drake factor? Do I row 10 strokes at max effort and check what number it gives me? Then change the damper setting and do it again until I have the drag factor number that is right for me? Thanks for your help!!!

Patrick, in my experience drag factor is a personal element. From what I’ve read and discussed with college rowers, a drag factor between 120-150 is what males should use. females between 100-130. More experience is a little bit higher drag factor (collegiate/international rowers). I try for around 135 and maintain 32 strokes per minute. Ensures aerobic workout vs. muscle strength getting destroyed early.
