That makes sense. ..I am a burpee/box jump girl! I LOVE them both and am every efficient with them. I’m going to lower the tension and work on the pace…let’s hope this all comes together for me!

I am by no means an expert rower, but a coach recently told our group that the more fast-twitch muscles you have (were you a sprinter, are you great at burpees and box jumps??) the lower the damper setting (4-6), the more your body craves heavy (power) lifting (very strong on Deadlifts and Squats), the higher the damper setting (7-9). I hope this helps you with your rowing.

Definitely going to work with this pace. But I was hoping to get some feedback about the tension. Nobody ever mentions the tension and how one should determine the right tension for them. When I first stared crossfit and actually had a gym to go to with a live coach…he had me set the tension at 8. Since I’ve become much stronger and don’t have anyone watching my row I decided “heck go up to 10” for whatever reason. Was that a good move or should I lower the tension so that my pull is faster and probably more mechanically sound? I can say I used to row 1000m in 4:12…haven’t been able to get lower than 4:20 in a LONG TIME. Any help/suggestions u have is GREATLY appreciated.
