[22fortifier]

One man comes to mind when I see this; Mr. Bean.

[keshav0312]

self blowjob practice...complete

[DeliciousPoop]

it's only funny when it is not intentionally retarded

[Neo22100]

looks unhealthy

[MrOlliguitar]

trolling failure

[L3xu2]

he's obviously trolling..?

[teamofreally]

one of those videos...where i'm not sure if i'm supposed to like or dislike....

[ArachnusPorkus]

He has condoms on his feet and flashing bulbs on his hip....

...i think he got the meaning of the term "red light district", all wrong. :/

[StudioGoldsmith]

Why plastic wrap on legs?

[LongbowApache96]

What..... the heck.

[Patsa2001]

I like his shoes... they look light weight lol

[FatManTap]

that's just the standard terrible technique impression, i'm calling fake and gay on this one

[IncredibleHulkRobert]

LOL@ video!

[oratorman]

@IncredibleHulkRobert OMG this is freaking hilarious! Thanks for sending me the link to this Rob!

[IncredibleHulkRobert]

@oratorman Glad I sent it to you Matt!

[sukhjeetgrewal07]

something makes me wonder if hes RETARDED!!!

[erikmirandilla91]

he's crying??

[FlatHeadFletch]

Theirs allways one in the crowd. Cull him !!!!!

[raztytube]

is this guy doing fartleks on the erg...hahahaha

[rower8guy]

I particularly like the Saran Wrap on the bottom of his legs. Wassup w/ that?!

[TaRRtastic]

@rower8guy

Even better is the flashing lights on his waist.

[keshav0312]

LMAO he must be good in bed

[LouisTheLegend1]

i wonder how long it would take before they kicked me out f the gym for rowing like this :P

[eliTeMaster009]

the novice in his prime form :P

[teewoods]

The jokes on those who think this is real!

[Coleybears1]

if the whole boat did this.

A cox would get wet.

[phat69ification]

RETARDED

[FullMetalFrankie]

99 People don't get Erg jokes.

[jake0the0muss]

@FullMetalFrankie i have no fucking idea why this is funny hahahahahah. NOVIESS WHAT

[harryshi1]

Idiot

[eklipz330]

lmfao love the reflectors... just need ot be wearing suspenders and youd be set!

[krugnasty]

THATS what I've been missing. I need to start saran wrapping my legs

[himazoh]

DO NOT TWIST CHAIN ROW WITH BOTH HANDS XD

[heatman95]

is that walton?

[Nothingyetful]

hey man, do not twist chain

[brianator97]

This isnt funny he is gonna break the erg... see if they are still laughing when they have to pay for a new one and do like a million pushups

[mcqueeney]

Andrew holker at the gym?

[n1cklass]

sucked big time...couldnt see the fun in it

[meowmeowchocolate]

they obviously did this on purpose. LAMMMMEEEEE!

[ReviewerHelp]

this dude is my hero

[trikisigma]

ese idiota se va a cagar la makina xdddddd

[TheGoaltender94]

obviously they loose every race, just look at that boat!

[RoarOmightyROAR]

clearly hes just messing around... stupid haters

[AutumnsPillar]

What a jackass.

[abbotluv]

show some respect for the sport kid, some of us actually care about it

[Velocitah]

@abbotluv Show some respect for comedy champ, some of us actually care about smiling.

[Oshtinpowers]

why does he have cling film on his legs???

[spazicookie]

that guy and I share the same technique :P

[Oshtinpowers]

he probably has it on a too high setting, so he's stuggling. If he had it lighter, the things he was doing might be good for him

[TheConnor2792]

@Oshtinpowers you couldnt be any more wrong....

[Oshtinpowers]

@TheConnor2792 how?

[TheConnor2792]

@Oshtinpowers He is clearly taking the piss, thats not just bad technique! and it will not be good for him because look at the effort he is putting in with his back when rowing is 80% legs.

[Oshtinpowers]

@TheConnor2792 you actually think hes trying to row? u can use rowing machines for loads more than just rowing

[TheConnor2792]

@Oshtinpowers well the clue is in the name like, rowing machine as you just said. and the name of the video is rowing technique, all im saying is he is clearly not trying to row properly and his technique is a piss take. its also prob a good idea not to use rowing machines for other things than rowing as it will result in injury

[TheMummy516]

@jimmyPain2121 rowing isn't gay just because you tried it, sucked at it, and pussed out.

[luvpugs38]

i feel like he is a good rower, but he is faking it... only people who know how to row can fake horrible technique like that. nobody (unless they r disabled or mentally ill... which in that case this video would be terribly mean) gets on an erg and automaticaly assumes thats how u row.

[katie09796]

y are his feet taped to the machine?

[NiamhCahill95]

god i hate erg:(

[krazzieem]

I actually saw some woman erging like this when I wen to the gym once. My friend and I couldn't stop snickering at her.

[mendozaflores]

what was his split time? maybe i should try that on the boat

[drp3pp3r23]

@mendozaflores Haha

[Widgetas]

Oddly enough I knew a guy at Uni who rowed that high...

[graysteel1210]

he was like "doin it" with the machine seriously pity that dude....probably he's practicing his bedroom techniques

[itshannahandsanaz]

this is fucking stupid and he deserves a slap. for the 64 people who liked this video? go fuck yourself.

[Waxer3929]

That's actually how some people in the gym do it.

And then when I sit right next to them with the intention of doing a 60 minute piece they come over and say: "Hey, you're doing it wrong. You're not using your arms enough, and your fan-adjustment should be all the way at 10 for maximum power."

[ay2dee]

@Waxer3929 what can you do, some people just know more than us rowers when it comes to ergs!

[crazypianolady]

@Waxer3929 Tell me about it. What you should say is "Well that's not how we do it at the rowing club"!

[teamofreally]

@Waxer3929 omg lmfao i actually lol'd from your comment....its so funny cause its true... well i've never been approached in the gym.. but 90% of people rowing at the gym actualy do some variation of whats going on in this video

[Waxer3929]

@teamofreally Very seldom do they approach me, but it does happen.

One time in particular a woman said "wow, this machine is pretty tough".

I then replied with a yes and then laid it straight in that she was doing it completely wrong, as humbly as possible.

She then defended her "workout" by adding that she wanted to work out her back.

Well, of course that reply is wrong on so many levels.

People just don't realize that pull-ups are for back. There are no machines that burn back fat...

[gearhead22996]

the saran wrap and the lights on his pants are so legendary.

[SuperGuitarQueen]

whats with the plastic wrapping on his legs??

[spazicookie]

@SuperGuitarQueen he's trying to lose weight in his ankles... duh :)

[jimmyPain2121]

fuck rowings gay

[SuperGuitarQueen]

@jimmyPain2121 no its not you're gay.. caus u dont do rowing.... not to be mean! peace xD

[jimmyPain2121]

@SuperGuitarQueen no i used to row and i assure you rowing is very very gay

[SuperGuitarQueen]

@jimmyPain2121 i wouldnt be posting this if i didnt do rowing.!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D and rowing is not gay! and it cant be gay for me at all caus i am a girl!

[jimmyPain2121]

@SuperGuitarQueen wow are u like 12 or something? do u not think girls can be gay?? and im obviosly using gay as a euphemism anyway...

[SuperGuitarQueen]

@jimmyPain2121 no i am 16 btw!!!

[MetalForTheWin7]

I think ill use that technique on my next national championship. :)

[meepstrash]

my team does this workout six days a week, we haven't lost a race yet

[BodomChildBreeder]

funniest thing is how tired he seems at the end... and the fact the person filming is even laughing all the way through..!!

[beejayrotten]

he's stroke seat V1 harvard

[7777dmith7777]

WTF ....what the hell is the plastic wrap on his feet ?

[BioYoast]

"twisting the chain could result in personal injury" .... thats how often im on the erg.

[krisnewby]

trying too hard

[BodomChildBreeder]

holy shit lmao...

[Badchoicesmade]

Worst ratio I've ever seen.

[FieldyKoRnK5]

yeah !! xD 

[22458]

My coach goes ballistic if we erg with one hand for whatever reason, let alone what this freak is doing....

[darkboy456]

Wtfs up with his legs duck taped to the erg?

[simplysunna]

@SongsForMyGirlfriend maybe because he starts laughing at the end

[hopeyg33]

I especially love his blinking lights(:

[Otto2712]

@hopeyg33 haha and the glad-wrap shoes!

[Seds1212]

i hope he doesn't row like this on the water

[aj33ja]

i would agree to rochetercycling you win a national championship like me doing that

[anythingacoustic1]

lol if i coach caught me doing that id hear " ANGEL!! 10 LAPS OF LUNGES UP AND DOWN THE DOCK NOW!" and there went my legs.

[0Ojoost14O0]

whats up with the lights?

[thedjfromsfo2]

my coach would kick you off the team for doing this

[elespiral22]

RRAMEEELAAA CARLOSS!!! TAL CUALL!!!!

[nicosaintgermain]

you're a pro!

[YYXful]

idiot

[Vulle93]

He is an idiot...

[bla7091]

it's still best to practice in a boat. ergs just don't improve your actual technique, just stamina

[noonan706]

@bla7091 tru dat, i hate erging

[treesilverback]

Hahahaha! I've seen a guy do that body-thrust thing in a boat, breaking his legs when he got to the catch.

Well, even coaches have to have a laugh sometimes...

[IMlild3dude]

just joined a team today, hoghschool one, first tome on those erg nd the best i got was in the 1:40's, 1 kid got a 1:33

[AshamedBarbecue]

@IMlild3dude

really? I have someone on my highschool team that gets 1:21

[noonan706]

@AshamedBarbecue for what tho? like can he hold that for more than 5 seconds? doubt it

[noonan706]

@AshamedBarbecue for what tho? like can he hold that for more than 5 strokes? doubt it

[bazza1223345]

@noonan706

i do a 1.19.1 500m

[TrFl81391]

@bazza1223345 that's 4 seconds shy of the world record. it's also bull.

[oomblah]

@AshamedBarbecue got it down to 1:21 or like a 500m sprint?

[AshamedBarbecue]

@oomblah he got it to a 1:21 for 250m

[dollsita]

yeee you r the best rower ever :D:D:D:D:

[doomxero9999]

Honestly, I hope you guys don't do this often. You can hurt yourself or break the erg dicking around like that. Keep that up, and you'll never win a championship.

[afiguy123]

i did this once and the erg broke. thanks

[P3P3the7]

i can get to 1.19

[aerosoladdiction]

this guy probably cant get under a 1:40...

[wwemjhardy]

i can get 1:29

[aerosoladdiction]

i can get a 1:34.2 6k

[LeQ666]

dumb......

[RochesterCycling]

You're right. They probably lose every single race they enter because they spend a whopping 37 seconds having fun in between work-outs.

I love the Saran Wrap compression technology.

[mw560]

how do you guys do in races if you waste you practice time like this

[Dani47pro]

good luck with the future my friend..

[gargalfargl]

whats with the saran wrap on his legs?

[curtis1050]

wow wheres your couch u guy must suck if u waste pratice time by doing that

[Martintiinni]

that would waste more energy then doing the erg properly lol

wasnt that funny but would have been better if the guy was actualy doing the erg like that

just go to the gym and watch old people try, it will make you laugh

[hackingtime88]

it would be more funny if this guy was for real

[jkus1234]

hahahaha! thats gold.

the bit at 0:16 is the best.

[masketa1]

this is not funny - this is stupid!

[RickyPo1]

@masketa1 your sad

[rickgriffin83]

@masketa1 It's funny if you row and have been to any gym. Cause everything this guy just did i've seen somebody do that had no idea what they're doing. Sometimes I just want to step in and stop somebody to help them before they hurt themselves.

[Avink100]

@masketa1 Dude.. this is pretty fucking funny.

[tbone55757]

why do his feet have saran wrap on them

[91dm91]

wasnt funny in anyway

[cinnamon5566]

that is HILARIOUS

[kayeahyeahyeah]

omg this is too funny hahahah

[MrPulamea]

we have ergs like this in romania , i should try this too =))

[juliscipi]

you can see that is pretend or that guy is retarded

[live3in3the3moment]

well that's..... interesting? its definitely new to me, and i think if i saw anyone doing it a practices i would call for a coach ASAP. lol, but its funny to watch.

[m93sek]

that isn´t funny 1*

[nedgravelshirt]

that's not good for the chain...

[XxCaptainCoolxX]

our coxwains nickname is the fetus. just thought id throw that in there.

[golassiego]

oh my....every time....

[TheRicardojpg]

cromo!

[kazakov911]

haha wat skool is that?

[friendmeph]

I love the plastic wrap around his feet.

[FullMetalFrankie]

I forgot to ask but, is that plastic wrap?

[Seds1212]

my coach would have my head if i was to row like this on the erg!

[njeurd]

I have kicked my 2k like him one 5:58

[solvealways]

probably got your split down to 4:00!

[Aussie4500]

Is this guy for real right now? that was the ugliest thing i have ever seen

[THISISAVERYCOOLNAME]

GGGGAAAAAYYYY

[ohdamnitsmcv]

crew kids bond over this

gotta love it

[alonsoh2005]

this is gay

[FullMetalFrankie]

My coach would first of all kill me.

She will then make me do a 10k at my 2k goal (being a coxswain I pull a nice 2:07)

She would make me do a mile run.

She would lastly video tape it.

[LilyLovesJustin123]

I'm a cox too :P

My 2k is 9:45

I suck! yussssssss!

I'm 4ft8, 14y/o and about 40kg :P

[FullMetalFrankie]

Sweet go coxswains. We are the brain behind the bran.

You do better then some of our coxes.

No you don't.

I'm in my twenty's and I am 5ft4 and about 110 lbs.

[RockLobsta23]

"We are the brain behind the bran. "

I'm sorry but I just had to lmao over that.

you are the brains behind the partly ground husk of wheat or other grain, separated from flour meal by sifting?

[matt062992]

lmao thank you for pwning him for me :P

[GrimmorAngel]

Jesus.. we need coxswains like you.

[FullMetalFrankie]

Conxswains like who?

[GrimmorAngel]

i dont remember.. i think i was talking about some one that commented.

[samjwhite3]

considering your age hight and weight its not that bad keep it up.

[GrimmorAngel]

9:45? haha, that is pretty bad.

But i think our coxswains are worse.

[CaptainGrowdy]

My coach would beat the shit outta me if I did that.

[popear1937]

same

[TheOMGboy]

@CaptainGrowdy mine too lol

[eeoy]

@CaptainGrowdy me too. my coach takes no shit from varsity

[SuperGuitarQueen]

@CaptainGrowdy oh yeah!!!! lol.... mine would kick me out of the club 4 dameging d property!! :)

[robinfisichella]

hahaha, would love to do that in an official competition! try reverse rowing!

[derkleinefini]

so ein depp

[Seds1212]

notice how he/she is wearing plastic wrap on his/her feet

[taxskrem]
