Cam, such inspirational content. Laughing at the shopping trip and laughing at the 1:58 16K easy session. I’ve been averaging 200+ meters a month, but I guess I’m gonna need a bigger bowl!
i'm on a training camp right now in seville and its so intense - we're doing 3 sessions per day but nowhere near 40k!! its stressful though because the whole week is trials for the quad racing at nat schools but it should be fine
Good Lord! 250k would be a heavy month for me at this point! but i'm almost 41 and have a 3 year old that hates sleeping. Primarily just trying to enjoy rowing, and not come in DFL if I do get into a race.. Great video - I finally ordered those comp blades btw.
Hi Cameron...it's me again.....the crazy dude who gives you unsolicited points on technique!! 😊 was very dismayed and concerned when i heard that you had been down with that wretched covid shit a while ago .... Wrote you a long note on it and finally didn't send it !! Great to see you're back to some really serious training.... If it's ok with you, as a well wisher of yours I'm keen to know if you're back to your old parameters ... your body weight, strength levels, recovery time and your 2k erg PB ..Cheers ..all the best and God bless..!
Hello! Yes feeling good.no problems now. Strength I felt easiest to come back. I PBd in trap bar deadlift last week so I'm up there with strongest I have been. I haven't done a 2k lately so I wouldn't know where I am in that regard but I'd say slower on the erg than my PB.
@@CameronBuchan Hi Cameron..Apologies for the delay in responding..... Good to hear your strength levels for D bar deadlift is at its highest and that you're up there with the strongest ...particularly commendable, since youre about 4 inches taller than the average Rower. The acid test ,or at least one of them Im afraid, is the 2k erg.. but im glad you haven't attempted to work on the 2K erg row PB ... strongly recommend that you take plenty of time over it ...step by step.. Don't know if you're updated on another perspective, entirely different from what the WHO and other international organisations, have been dishing out for the last 2 years Plus. Anyway ,as a high level Rower who has to push his body, to extremes, you absolutely need to know about it. Do you think Djokovich refused to take the shot for the Australian open without well researched reasons ?! When interviewed subsequently and posed the question - what he would do if they insisted on the shot for the next grand Slam title? he replied that he wouldn't take it even if he had to never play again, and forego all his titles.!! I've seen that live video. His take is that it's not the virus that's the problem..it's the shot..and that is the problem for everyone.. I definitely don't want to sound alarmist, but ..unlike Rowing technique this is not about winning.. again unsolicited advice 🙂 but this time it could be about life or well being .. so although have not met you personally, i felt a responsibility to tell you. I've already sent you my mail IDs .. there's stuff I think you need to know and in my opinion it's important you hear it, and there are hopefully some ways to deal with it..as best as possible...have you heard of something called the Great Barrington declaration?.. it's a document signed by 17000 doctors across the globe..stating the true facts. All of this must sound weird to you ..that's the reason I ended up not sending the last message also..but this time i thought ..it's irresponsible for me to do that.. Btw i watched the video of the 50+ guy you helped who wanted to try a 2k erg and finished at 6.22.. . please tell the guy he's quite a phenomenon .. had he trained from the age of 16 which is what Steven Redgrave would have done ..(he won his first Olympic Gold at 22.)he could well have at age 26-31 perhaps hit a lower time than 5:46! Cheers , Take care and God bless.
@@CameronBuchan yep..this one is posted .. looks like the algorithm censored that reply..you need to send me your mail id.. it's important you know the stuff that was on it.
Cam, what made you choose t oscull with C2s over other oars? I personally switched from c2 skinny with smoothie 2 blade to a set of croker s40s and the difference was HUGE. I am a reasonably advanced rower in terms of technique and I felt that the sleeve design and weight distribution of the crokers allowed me to have quicker catches and cleaner finishes. I noticed during your low intensity 16k your blades hit the water after the release a tiny bit. Maybe if you have a friend who rows crokers ask if you could borrow them for a session. I hope I don't come off as condescending by saying all this but I have been watching your content for awhile and like to imagine living a similar life to yours.
A great week of training. Thanks for sharing your week. Amazing water all week, especially on the lock. That was stunning and worth the drive. I'm just curious as part of your recovery. When you you get time to stretch and roll? Do you do it before and after each session? And how long do you spend? Just trying to figure out how long your training day actually is? #yamsquad
Glad you enjoyed it! Was such a pleasure to row on Loch voil! I honesty do minimal stretching or rolling. Generally first session is 8am to around 930. Second, around 11am to 1230 then last session around 4 til 530.
@@CameronBuchan good to know your looking after yourself. It does add time to all the sessions but it's super important. Keep up the good work and safe travels.
Cam! you've inspired me mate. Getting a concept 2 machine. Im 6 ft almost 6 ft 1 inch, any advice on if i get the regular concept 2 or the concept 2 for taller legs!? Cheers mate!
That's awesome! Enjoy! Do you mean the b model D or model E? They are both basically the same just one sits higher off the ground. Our do you mean the longer slide? You probably don't need that unless you're inseam is above 38"
Perfect! I need huge training weeks too! Completely inspired now!!! 16k a pop on the erg sounds about right - that should be my new unit of session! But where is your rest day?
You said that you usually buy things for protein that weren’t there, what were those if you don’t mind me asking? Btw keep going your a great inspiration 👍
Mostly down to the good weather getting in the water and mentioned a little bit getting on the erg is just very efficient. Definitely could have gone out on the bike though
Depends on the workout a little. If you're meaning on say a 2k. A good warm up will help. If it's for a steady state workout. Maybe your breathing is needing looked at or maybe just very dry air!
Hi Gary. I wouldn't say I'd recommend what I did. Definitely wasn't to fill the scratches, only to cover them to hopefully stop at least some water getting in. The tape I did use though was gorilla tape. Pretty thick stuff and stayed on for about a week whist rowing.
yam squad member from South Africa. i need help...so i joined rowing in university, as a novice last year i did all my rowing in a sweep boat. this year I've been introduced to sculling and its been difficult. my force production leans more to my right hand side, since i row bow in the sweep and i find it hard to level things on the water (our coach hasnty been available on the water since he was training our junior national squad). what tips do you have for me that i can do to better my force production and thus balance during the stroke.
Literally? For the training at Strathclyde Park they are on the blade rack. Training anywhere else, they'd probably be on the blade rack wherever I train
That's a lotta K's Think you've done a month of my training in a quarter of the time. In my defense a 16km row takes me significantly more time that it does you eheh
Indeed I do. They were some inspiration for this actually! Wanted to get better day transitions like they're Mexican ones but couldn't quite find one! Always trying ton improve!

The bowl is the key!
The Loch rowing was amazing! icing on the cake of a great week.
An unforgettable couple of rows!
@@CameronBuchan There's no permit needed to go row on any body of water?
Brilliant video, such an inspiration!
I love these long full week videos. its a crazy insight. Even if not as big and eventful as this one!
Excellent video yet again Cam, very professional ly shot. Looking forward to your European Tour 22 videos. Stay safe.
Awesome, mate. Good to see you're into Weetbix! 😉 Any chance of more footage from Loch Voil?
Easy decent fuel!
I have. Hopefully have a seperate video on it!
Stunning!

really enjoy this video
A lot of boxes ticked here: training chat, sublime sculling shots, plenty of Yam. Top work Mate - cheers for sharing

Perfect vlog, that session and all the effort that went into capturing it on day 2 on that loch was absolutely golden 👌
Was a pleasure!

Thanks!
Like I mentioned in this video, mostly videos and Netflix if there's a hood series or move out!
Hey Cam! Fantastic video, man. Quick question. Are you rocking a chest strap for HR? Or is it purely from your wrist?
All off of a chest strep 💪
As they say north of the border “ya jammy git!”😆 With the water conditions at the park then the loch I would have just spent the week on the water😎

On this occasion I'm particular it was things like tofu, seitan and a Richmond minced beef alternative
Absolutely beastly! Just wondering why cycling (indoor or outdoor) didn't feature into the week of training?
Mostly down to the good weather getting in the water and mentioned a little bit getting on the erg is just very efficient. Definitely could have gone out on the bike though
@@CameronBuchan Very fair. All the best!
Haha in the timelasps you can you the erg slowly move
Very interesting to watch :-)
That's a lot of work! No rest day? How do you monitor your recovery from your workouts?
Are you coming down to Switzerland at some point too?
I did have to drive through switzerland to get to Italy
A big problem I have is my throat drying out any tips to stop that?
try to breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth and don’t swallow works for me
Happens to me a lot too. It helps me when I do something like 3x8k as opposed to 24k, just with 2-3 minutes Rest to get a lot of water.
Depends on the workout a little. If you're meaning on say a 2k. A good warm up will help. If it's for a steady state workout. Maybe your breathing is needing looked at or maybe just very dry air!
I rather have the opposite. A runny nose because of the wind 🤣 an some stuff in the throat to dispose of in the water.
Miss the breaded egg toast! 😝
Had some today actually! Brings back memories!
Dear Cam. Which tape did you use to fill the scratches etc? Cheers, Gary
