@KyleeChristopher He's probably going by rankings on the concept2 website where maybe 250 people bother to rank their row. Not to mention a person can enter any time they want there. Unless you have a recorded result from a SANCTIONED event then a youtube video means jack squat.
68,000+ views for a decent 500m. Check out some real power erging. Everyone in the 10 Man Squad can do a sub 1:22 500m. I think their average 500m PB is around 1:18.
my first 500 i got a 1.32 after rowing 3 weeks, i dont think a 1.28 is 103ed best in the world. i row a 1.27 now ive been rowing 3 months. 500s are my favourite erg by far
honestly who gives a fuck whether his technique was perfect, or whether it's 103rd best or whatever the fuck, it says it's his first time doing 500m and i think that's a damn good effort, i'm J14 Girls National champ and my first 100m took me 1.47 so 1:28 is amazing to me! Nice video (:
I row with an 18 year old, going to harvard, who pulled a 1:26 500m on his final piece after a 6k, 3k, 2x1k, 4x500m work out. you might be 103rd out of the people that bother that online
This is not a good video. His technique is poor. his posture is equally as bad and placing someone at 103 in the world based on pure strength is arguably, unfair to those who are doing it properly.
@MrBreakybar Oh dear, you do seem to have an anger management problem. The fact is that I did, and if you really want evidence I will take a photo of the monitor next time I'm on. The important point is that this was not done on a Concept 2 but on a Proteus PAR-5500 which has a far higher top resistance setting than the Concept 2 and allows you to maintain a 500m time of under 1:30 whilst doing 24-25 strokes per min. Stop being impolite behind the cover of the internet.
@blynladen As I tried to make clear in an earlier post, my 6000m time is accurate but certainly not due to me being a World class rower (or even a good club rower). It is simply that I do not use the Concept 2 rower. The Proteus rower that I use has a far higher 'top gear' so it is easier to keep a 1:30 pace with fewer strokes per min. I can't match my Proteus times on a Concept 2. I hope that's clear now?

1:28 is not the best in the world, its just the ranked best in the world according to concept2, most people, especially the entire national rowing sqauds of the world dont rank their pieces. Its also only per season so you would have to check previous seasons for all entries faster than yours. But this is ok time considering you have not learned the technique yet, not that 500m is a difficult distance.
@2TheGuy2 not even decent highschoolers... my whole crew (although best average in the competition) could beat this and we are U14... i havent actually done a hard out 500m but from all the training i would estimate that it would be at least a couple seconds lower - im not even floating my boat here, these are facts
@xXhavok1900Xx No, decent highschoolers. Ones that train and row well with good form and technique. I pulled a 1:23.9 on my last one minute test... But that doesn't make me a good rower. An extremely fast guy on the water pulled a 1:34 flat on the same test but he strokes the top quad (I bow). So there are plenty of decent rowers that can't pull this... plus notice the kind of erg he's using. those are REDICULOUSLY heavy to pull on.
whoa, his technique is completely wrong, there's totally a waste of power and energy because of that... must improve his skills, because he got the strength, but he don't use it.
@SwiftHACB HAHAHAHA have you ever sustained a 1:28 split for 1:28 minutes?!?!?! hahahahah good one... great job to this guy though, even though the form wasn't "professional", he put forth great effort for his first tome doing a peice on a erg..
looking at this guys technique , i doubt very much its his first time rowing 500 m, esp if he hits 1.28.... but then we all know that anyway dont we... it's you tube and ul say any thing to be popular...
By '103rd in the world', I guess he means he's looked at splits for 2000m. That means the people setting the times rowed 4x as far as him, with a faster average than his single 500m attempt.
You're pretty retarded to think this places you any where near any kind of world ranking, bro.
1:23 maybe 46th in the world ranking for this year but that only includes times that people have posted. 1:23 although respectable wouldn't get you anywhere in a real world ranking of 500m indoor rows.
If you go sub 1:20 then you are beginning to get fast. The fast guys all go sub 1:18 which is a lot faster wattage wise than 1:23.
Although I respect cross training athletes 1:28 is fairly mediocre in rowing terms for a guy of his size.
Very nice time. Get on the water and try that, it will be interesting to see if you keep the boat upright. If you can do that for 2000 meters on water you are indeed the man!
@ldonald24 Keep in mind this is only to demonstrate the "diverse capability of a Crossfit athlete". It takes years to get good technique (though the learning curve to start is huge). I agree though, I coach some athletes who pull 1:37 splits for their 2km pieces and they're only 18 and 80kg or less.
I don't know where the 500m comes from.. there is no comparison to real rowing on a machine like that.. hell, it doesn't even replicate the motion involved in rowing. besides, you can't flail around like that in a skull.. you need to be SMOOTH..
I congratulate you for a strong time, but if you were to try that on the water you would either catch a crab or your blade would crash straight into your legs and tip the boat.
hello some one must be good and know about rowing i was trying it for the 1st time 2day got peak time of 1.19 / 500m and finished at 1:24. is tht any good my friends say i should start doing rowing but i have no idea if my time is any good im 16 and weigh 72 kg. I
What country are you from, do you compete can I look you un in say the nswrowing website? whats your prognostic over 5km? oh 3km coz your jr? dude, the hardest stroke I can do rating like 50! is 1:25 I don't think you lying but fudge Mc'Duff, you must be pritty fit.
I'm only 172cm tall btw, I'll ask my mate what he pulls, he's u19mens at nswis.
1:28 is really good for a non-rower, especially if its his first time. Fine if you're unimpressed, but this is definitely, er, not "not good."
I do think pulling at or below 1:30 on multiple 500s is a pretty good mark for a rower. I don't know what my PR 500 is, probably 1:28 or so, maybe lower. 2k PR = 7:28.4, end of my novice year.
1:28 is definitely good for a non-rower doing a 500m for the first time. If you're unimpressed by that, I guess you're just hot shit, but I don't think you're being very reasonable.
You ARE a rower and you just said you haven't made it to 1:28 yet. If this guy is a non-rower and he's beating your goal on his first attempt, I don't see how you can say his performance is not good.
I do understand the benefits of age, weight, and height on an erg. I might say if you don't understand the benefits of experience, then I don't think you're worth having a discussion with.
It would be much more impressive if he were 15, weighed 145 lbs, and was 5'9". Sure, if it was his first time on an erg and he pulled a 1:28 500m given all of that, he would be fucking AMAZING. No doubt.
I'm just saying the same standards don't apply to everyone.
He would go slower.. He's technique needs a lot of improvement, so if he were on the water, he'd fall in at that rate.
It is pretty good though for a first time. If he'd improve his technique, and push that extra bit harder (he wasn't that tired in the end) his time would probably drop a lot.
OMG!!! your not even doing the stroke right its ment to be arms, body and then the legs you should no that iam 12 and your like 36 You should no that...
i don't see how this could be 103rd in the world when I can pull in the low 1:30s and I'm just a 138 pound freshman.(I'm bad on my team to so yeah) but still good for you bro for even getting on an erg cause thats just never fun.
ya, that's not right. just about every crew has at least one guy who can pull that. and you need a 1:30 on a 2K to get on the olympic team... so there's a freaking ton of people out there who can pull alot harder than this
The top athletes at a good rowing university hit around 1:15 or so at the beginning, and the rowers on the novice team at the same university all break 1:30 for 500m (not splits, just 500m).
wow, that means a split time averge of 1:35. Thats very good, i've been rowing for years, I think mine is around 1:40 for 500M, our coach normally makes us do 2 or 5km ergo tests lol :( Im also 15
yeah he is quicker than most beginners but he has shit technique. If he was on the water he would either rip his kneecaps off or crab in the first 100.
1:28 is not tied best 103rd in the world! I pull 1:29 for 500m and I'm a J15 for gods sake...

1st)1.28 isnt ranked 103rd in the world. Most university level men wud be able to pull that.
2nd) Your technique would mean that within the first instant of starting your stroke, you would be in the water.
3rd) Get a new ergo, those models are literally 10 years old n probs dont give you a very accurate time.

you should give it a shot, but anybody can pull 500m
s0ysauce09 2 years ago
Anyone can pull a slow 500m but not a real maximum effort. A 2K is more taxing but a really flat out 500m is not a pleasant experience.

if you look properly when he finishes it says 1:34 on the clock..... FAKE

Preach it brother, I do 1:31 500m sprint on ergo, did it about 2 weeks ago at fitness first.
sorry, this guy is shithouse, I weight 80kg 18yo raced for 2 years u17 to u19 mens.
The reason this guy is shit is becasue he has no POWER!!! he is limited to the strenght of his arms due it fucked technique.
NRC forever.

1:28 is really good for a non-rower, especially if its his first time. Fine if you're unimpressed, but this is definitely, er, not "not good."
I do think pulling at or below 1:30 on multiple 500s is a pretty good mark for a rower. I don't know what my PR 500 is, probably 1:28 or so, maybe lower. 2k PR = 7:28.4, end of my novice year.
Ben1338605 2 years ago
1:28 is definitely good for a non-rower doing a 500m for the first time. If you're unimpressed by that, I guess you're just hot shit, but I don't think you're being very reasonable.
You ARE a rower and you just said you haven't made it to 1:28 yet. If this guy is a non-rower and he's beating your goal on his first attempt, I don't see how you can say his performance is not good.

Sorry for the double comment, but
I do understand the benefits of age, weight, and height on an erg. I might say if you don't understand the benefits of experience, then I don't think you're worth having a discussion with.
It would be much more impressive if he were 15, weighed 145 lbs, and was 5'9". Sure, if it was his first time on an erg and he pulled a 1:28 500m given all of that, he would be fucking AMAZING. No doubt.
I'm just saying the same standards don't apply to everyone.

HOLY SHIT!!! that's fuckin fask, imagin doing that on the water.
chadchadchadcrimzon 2 years ago
He would go slower.. He's technique needs a lot of improvement, so if he were on the water, he'd fall in at that rate.
It is pretty good though for a first time. If he'd improve his technique, and push that extra bit harder (he wasn't that tired in the end) his time would probably drop a lot.

i don't see how this could be 103rd in the world when I can pull in the low 1:30s and I'm just a 138 pound freshman.(I'm bad on my team to so yeah) but still good for you bro for even getting on an erg cause thats just never fun.

It's probably 103rd on the concept2 online rankings... That contain no professional rowers basically.
Kangyroo 2 years ago
Agreed. Such a high ranking is a stretch. I didn't do any cardio training for 6 months and the first time I did a C2 Row 500m I did 1:30
ptarleton 2 years ago
ya, that's not right. just about every crew has at least one guy who can pull that. and you need a 1:30 on a 2K to get on the olympic team... so there's a freaking ton of people out there who can pull alot harder than this
1GreenDayIsTheShit1 2 years ago
He cant be 103rd in the world.. Every prof rower does around 1:20.. 1:28 isnt really good. Maybe for a small person like him.
As I said I did 1:24.9 and not even a rower. I am starting my rowingseason this year with 6 time training per week. Ill get 1:20 prolly.
around 2m and 100 kilo´s

The top athletes at a good rowing university hit around 1:15 or so at the beginning, and the rowers on the novice team at the same university all break 1:30 for 500m (not splits, just 500m).

Actually, 2k is the "sprint" race. The "distance" races are over 3.5 to 6.5km

manlikeswitcher 3 years ago
2k isn't a sprint race, its a normal race lenght. sprint is 500 and 1k. and 'distance' from 6k to 11k.
at least its so in croatia ;)
