Indoor Rowing 500m World Record - 1:14.4s Rob Smith & 1:29.4s Graham Lay

Graham Lay doing a proper "fly and die" over indoor rowing 500m in the same race as Rob Smith breaking the World Record for 500m with a time of 1:14.4s. I'm still no Steve Redgrave, Matthew Pinsent or James Cracknell though! And my rowing technique on the Concept2 indoor rowing machine is a bit better now too!

@some5672 a roof for a start...

The thing is, he relies so heavily on his arm strength, that he doesn't engage his legs properly. In a real boat, he wouldn't get enough reach to achieve any kind of real acceleration. Rowing fail. Bicep curl win.

@VanSam obviously these guys are not actual rowers, but that doesnt mean theres anything wrong with shortening your drive... Thats what everyone does on a 500m lol its how you get your rate up high enough...

Power 500. Otherwise known as rushing the slide.

@MILIFANGR ur right! thats why its only 500m

[1997CamillaH]

His time is so good, but his rowing technique is extremely bad! i think as he will train more and work on his technique, he can do a lot better :p
