Is the concept 2 Model D rowing machine worth the price?
However, the price of this particular one is too high for my liking. You can see that it’s the latest Concept 2 Model D rowing machine with PM5. It’s been barely used with less than 32k lifetime meters which is why it’s priced so highly. You could probably get them to throw the mat in too but it still wouldn’t be the bargain you’d be hoping for.
Do concept 2 rowers use heart rate or performance monitor?
Regardless, in the case of a Concept 2 rower, the performance monitor will measure workload (which can then be converted into calories) much more accurately than an HRM.

How do you estimate your C2 for easy rows?

My easy rows (like today) come in at just about 10 cal/min for 30 min, averaging 2:30/500m, 25 spm, drag factor 108 (which on my erg is damper 6-ish).
