Yesterday I read an article from Concept2 titled "The Damper and Drag of Olympians." In the article Gevvie Stone is quoted as having said, “I look for a drag of about 112 (though I’ll go up to 115 for low rate—capped pieces—24 and below) and adjust the damper to hit that 112 (which is usually around 3).”
Gevvie was then asked, “What workouts have you done at a 10?”
“None! That's a recipe for injury. I have done plenty of workouts on '0', which were required in college for athletes with any rib or back tenderness.”
Inasmuch as I still suffer from back problems, what Dr. Stone said caused me to wonder if excessive drag could have contributed to these problems. For this reason I decided to experiment. I lowered the drag factor from 127 to 111.
And the result? While I rowed at a faster rate with lower drag, I didn’t see that the lower drag factor did much to lessen the back pain.
On the other hand, what really lessened back pain was making sure that I had a neutral spine at the release before I moved my arms away. The same is true before starting the drive off the stretcher, only for this I not only had to make sure that I had a neutral spine, but I also had to make sure that I had not rowed past my strong point.
