Question on the rowing challenge.
What is the damper setting to be ?
Posted by: Pokey | 03/11/2010 at 08:35 AM
Hey pokey- the damper setting can be whatever you want. Are you in on the challenge?

Well this workout was a suckfest, luckily I shared it with Bill and then got to watch Goat and Joe each share the pain.
Goat-13:48 14# @ 10'
Bill-14:17 8# @ 8'/grey band
Pony-14:26 14# @ 8'/red band
Joe--12:20 14# @ 8'/grey band
And BAM came in for her last day of Fundamentals. Skill work was power cleans, we worked from the hang position, which proved to be a good idea. Scarecrow arms!
She then did "Half Humble Pie":
AMRAP 10 min
5 Thrusters
7 Hang Power Cleans
9 Sumo DeadLifts (we omitted the High Pull)
18# bar
She nailed 6 rounds + 6 SDL
SWEET!
BAM passed Fundamentals with flying colors- she is now able to do the CF Rising WOD with all us big kids! Start thinking of some goals, woman.

Yeah, he is in. He officially signed up several days back.

Pokey, there's a great thread on damper settings on the CrossFit message board. Low damper leans more toward endurance and high damper more toward strength. You can put the same amount of power out with any damper setting, but with different pathway usage.

Paul - thanks. I've read other articles on how the 4 and 5 setting is more like "rowing" so that is what I've always used. I haven't seen the ones talking about the pathways.
Posted by: Pokey | 03/12/2010 at 01:26 PM
My limited (and possibly mistaken) understanding is that the damper basically simulates the weight of the craft being rowed, so that a high setting means a heavy boat, which is hard to get going but has doesn't slow down much between strokes, and vice versa for a low setting.
The truth is that I haven't played around with it. I always row in a "5".
