- Someone 9y agoThat's not surprising. If you do 550W consistently during 6 minutes, you do 500m splits of 1:26 (http://www.concept2.com/indoor-rowers/training/calculators/watts-calculator http://www.concept2.com/indoor-rowers/training/calculators/w...), or a 2000m in 5:44, which is 'only' 6 seconds from the world record (http://www.concept2.com/indoor-rowers/racing/records/world/2000 http://www.concept2.com/indoor-rowers/racing/records/world/2...), and would probably draw the attention of most Olympic rowing teams, even if you can't row at all currently (for the larger boats, it is easier to learn a strong man who is willing to do a 2k that fast to row than to make someone who can row that strong and/or that motivated to compete) ('Only' because you need to do 580W to gain those six seconds. 2% faster = 6% more power)
