DRAG FACTOR/RESISTANCE used on this workout. I set the drag factor to 125. Around a 3-4 on this machine. Resistance does NOT equal faster or slower speeds. I've made a few videos discussing drag factor which I recommended checking out. Here is one: ruclips.net/video/_ZbxsslM6NQ/видео.html If you have any other questions let me know!
@@stevenc6492 like I've said in the video linked in the comment. The drag factor won't really make you slower or faster. If you went hard and felt tired that's a good score 👍 hard question to ask specifically not knowing anything else!
@@CameronBuchan Thanks. Ok understood. I'm not a rower by any means. I just added rowing to my strength workout x2 per week. All the best with your rowing pursuits.
One of the more disgusting things I've seen in a while, going SUB 6 on a 2k just to test out strategies, fiddling with the monitor multiple times, not even falling off the erg at the end. Going to see what this machine can do with a proper taper. Best of luck Cam!
Thought the same. I know you should watch out for the heart rate zones, but I don't feel like I'm doing much without it going into the 175-180 in the last 5 minutes.
It's easier to do it if you are a giant like him. He is 209 cm, so he's strokes are 25-30 cm longer than regular people have. Tall people benefit from height in most of sports.
This is by far the best 2K TT video out there, the addition of the erg data and heart rate and the running commentary is just what we need to see for comparisons. Thanks Cameron. I race in the 50+ age group, I'm giving Paris a miss, but hoping to go to the next Worlds.
Very happy to finally find a sub 6 minute video with commentary, screen capture and in a perfect quality. Awesome job. I can't comprehend how you can be below 150 bpm almost midway through, that's just unreal. Amazing result, if you took it to 190-200 bpm, you'd shave another 10 seconds off if this for sure.
Thanks Jozef! I think the graph is a slight bit out before the k, not by too much though! Definitely right with getting the push with extra 10 or so beats at the end!
Just did a 2k last week and did 7:03, down from 7.49 at the start of the season. I'm 16 so hopefully I can go sub 7 next year! Your videos are a big motivation.
This was surprisingly insightful. I'm going to do some stroke counting from now on and set some distance milestones as well to help with the mental game.
Massive massive massive! Huge cingratulations! Very soon you Will be at 1:27 for sure. This year you can get number at 1:26, I have 100% confidence in that. Your arms are really better, That's the best I ve seen you rowing so far. Tokio isn't impossible. Keep striving, 2024 is your's if you keep like this. Cingratulations Cam
im a junior in high school with a 2k pr of 6:53, its pretty recent too, and i collapsed afterwards. and u pulled a sub 6 and just WALKED AWAY. i could never 😂😂😂
Great effort. What I find most encouraging for you is that although you worked very hard, you were not falling off the machine at the end so definitely more to come. Good Luck!
The gym I go to has the previous world erg 2k record holder (5.36) as a customer. He has long retired from rowing but will still do a lazy erg at sub 1.40 pace. He literally bends the erg every time he pulls. An absolute monster of a man.
@@haxrwack2568 he was the world record holder until recently. That’s probably why. He won’t hold that for the full 2k but can still pulls like a train.
This guy is a beast, I started rowing at age 50 and have a 2K PR of 6:59 which I thought was pretty good in that it was very competitive with most college rowers.
Nice job Cameron. Isaiah finally broke six on Sat with a 5:54.1 but a lot different technique (rated just under 30 for the majority with a longer drive) so it's interesting to see the difference and glad to see you're exploring options. Keep up the hard work and nice updates to the channel. :)
Great to hear what rattles through your head during a 2k. I do the same 10 stroke counting, but it seems to go on forever! Tried 20 but kept losing count around 14.LOL. Thanks for sharing!
Late to the party on this, but holy smokes that stroke rate -- easily pulling 35-40 s/m almost hitting 60 s/m in the last 200m. Those are skierg numbers for most of us mere mortals! Great 2K!
I have used (or maybe nearly killed myself with exhaustion) Concept2 for over twenty years and never got any faster than 7:20 for a 2K (many years ago now) however seeing you do this is just phenomenal. Amazing effort. You have a new subscriber.
I think this is one of your best vlogs to date (and I never thought I would say that about a video without Yam!). The enhanced stats are great, as is the voice over. Great ideas from MrBoggins too! I watch a few doggy vlogs and most appear to have an Amazon list so people can send pressies for their dogs on birthdays, Xmas or just when they want - might be an idea?? (They also have stuff on them for enhancing the video-making experience - you might be surprised at how generous people are with this sort of thing.)
Wow Cameron!!! I row from '89s and I saw only one time 2k under 6' here in Italy. Remember only Elia Luini( more times world champion in 2x lw with Pettinari) makes a 2k under the 6 min . Really Congratulations Cameron!!!! You are very strong!!!!!!💪💪💪💪💪
This whole thing is great. Educational, entertaining and inspiring. But the highlight has to be that fact that you STAND UP AND WALK OFF only TEN SECONDS after finishing. When I think about my personal target of 7mins, and the wattage difference that entails. For those are not familiar, CB was pulling roughly 500watts. 7minutes for 2k would be around 300watts ( and I will not be walking away like that)
This is totally amazing - recommended this video by RUclips when watching a different rowing video and what do I see? Bath! That's where I learnt to row with the Uni! Totally amazing 2k! I did my best ever 2k just over 3 years ago on one of those ergs next to you of 6:49, just 6-7 months into rowing. Would love to improve that over lockdown. All the best Cameron! Will sub and follow on IG!
Fantastic, treat to watch, like I said in a comment on one of your videos, sub 5:50 in Paris is on the cards, rooting for you #yamsquad ah yeeeeeeehhhh
Thanks for posting. Great time. It's been helpful to compare my form to yours. I like how you put the app on the screen too. You have a huge stroke at 1.48. Mine only averages about 1.33. You've inspired me to try for a new PR in the 2k. Soon...
Inspiring stuff! As an old fart of 47, I enjoy rowing (was in the first 8 during high school) at teh gym each day. PB for 5km is 20:57 haha. Subbed and liked and keen to watch some more.
Unbelievable! Great job and an Idole to me. I need to learn a lot till I will be able to rowing nearly like that. Great inspiration and thoughts thank you for that. I did only 1000m for now but now I will learn to handle the 2000m also.

Cameron Buchan (or Yam squad) 5:54 ERG 2Km - Real Time Tips This latest vid is next level and deserves a much bigger audience.
how can your heart rate be so low? I had a 1,5k this weekend, and my hr went up to 185 in the first 30 seconds and then slowly approached 200...youre a monster xD
He does use a pretty large negative split, so that helps keep the HR a bit lower earlier on, jumping that high that early might mean the start is too hard though. I'm guessing this isn't quite 100% either, he seems to max at 185 or so, which for a 200max really should have a touch left in the tank.
Came here because I am starting to fall in love with this thing. Did just under 2400m in 10min. today, but in my defence it was after a full fitness workout, including abs, shoulders, breast and a 25 min. bike run at 210W average. Didn't know what to do, so I just went for the 10min. option. I am a beginner so I kinda tried to stay between 20 and 25spm, but the fool I am, I had to push a little. It wasn't that bad in the end, but I will be pushing some more after seeing this I guess...
I know the vids a bit old but boy that was impressive. 33 average for 1st 1000 then step it up to 39 for last 1000. I have to ask which no setting do you row at ? I also noticed you would'nt have blown out a candle when you were finished that in itself is truly amazing. Thanks for sharing
absolutely amazing.....definitely learnt a few thing from your vid. i'll try to slide less toward the foot pad during the last 500 meters to see if i could pick up the stroke speed
After listening to the music you addedto build up the tension st the start of the row, I was hoping for an anti-climax where you fall of the rowing machine :-) Great effort though!!!
I noticed your heel didnt raise off the erg at the catch, why is this? I'm an U15 novice whos not very good at ergs but is trying to get better so i want to know if this will help me?
Just curious about your thoughts on how much you shorten your stroke at the end. Although the rate gets pushed up quite high which lets you get your splits down for a short period, do you think that there might be merit in keeping it longer and letting your legs still take the majority of the drive through the end of the piece at a lower rate and using the "final kick" energy to ultimately push it even lower? Or do you think that the trade off of drive length for higher rate is ultimately of greater value? I wonder because on the water you often see the crews that stay long seem to maintain greater speed. I am not saying your way is wrong, because I know that ergs and rowing are different beasts to an extent, rather I am just curious if you have tried both ways and found one to be more effective at getting the faster score. By the way, that is a GREAT score... you are beast mode!
I think you answered your own question really. The rate goes high and split goes down for a short period. The short period being the main part. When the rate gets pushed higher and higher, the split drops down and I can't hold those for long! I also can't hold full length in the high 30s for long.... Yet! So yes I think, for me right now, the tradeoff is worth it
This was really interesting to hear you talk through your game plan!, with the stats too! They say a change is as a rest, pleased that mixing it up seems to be working for ya! I'm agreeing with Mr Boggins thoughts, there is a lot of very poor content out there😴getting more views!??? The title pulls you in! Once you get them in Cam they will be along for the yamsquad ride! P.s been working on my erg training, wearing an AIO instead of standard gym gear seems to make make me more focused! Any thoughts on any new spring/summer Merch collection? Couldn't work out if I could still order a AIO? love the orange blue and white, maybe add some ladies cut training vests! visors, head bands etc..just a thought, know your a bit busy😂
Hi Abbey! Thanks a lot and you're right!! #yamsquad regarding AIOs I know exactly what you mean!! I want to get some more things in the shop just like you mentioned and perhaps a more consistent AIO for sale too!
im not sure if theres a reason, but he was taking almost just arms and body strokes at the end, and overall his sequencing seemed not too good, but he still did amazingly..
I was sprinting towards the end which usually makes people shorten up. Sequencing could need some work but not super necessary on the erg unless doing something really inefficient
@@CameronBuchan Ye ofc! no hate at all you're incredible i just noticed that. I like keeping my erg technique good so it carries through to water training but ig it dosent rlly matter. Edit: i made that comment a year ago and i wanna apologise because you're actually insane and im not sure what i was thinking commenting on something like that and the commentary and everything on this is so useful
Great idea how it was presented THANK YOU! I'm brand new to my Concept 2 and rowing finding motivation everywhere through the rowing/erging community (just in time for the "stay home quarantine" ) What about "How Far I'll Go" made that the right song for your effort?
I don't think you understand what a 540 vs 554 is. The changing songs and settings didn't slow me down nor putting a camera next to me. Even if it did, its not going to suddenly give me almost 4 splits
@@CameronBuchan obviously I’m being sarcastic. I can’t get over how you can multitask and still break 6’ on a 2k. Best of luck training! Really enjoy the videos.
Really curious what sort of training you do or have done inorder to improve your Cardiovascular endurance. I'm a highschool rower and I excel at steady state pieces but I really struggle with high rate pieces(really anything over a thirty). Its what I fell I need to work on most especially with the spring season coming up and I was curious if you had any tips.
technical comment and question......comment first...technically, you're a beast!!...awesome job.....and re: the technical question, how are y'all getting both the erg data and heart rate info to be overlayed on your main video feed?.....would luv to do that for my own training vids...
What kind of damper settings is better to row a 2k ? Usually I use a 5.5 but I'm lower than 140 drag factor, it's about 125, 130 for a PB 7:15" I wish to reach sub-7. Very inspiring your vidéos, thank you so much
On every erg a 5 or a 6 is different depending on how they've been maintained. I have been messing with drag factor over the passed few weeks and have settled right now on around 130. You can get sub 7! #yamsquad
@@peterjacobs1376 I've actually made a video talking about just that! Essentially making sure you have a stable something to press off of is most important!

he said "thank you very much" right after the end, indeed :P

how can your heart rate be so low? I had a 1,5k this weekend, and my hr went up to 185 in the first 30 seconds and then slowly approached 200...youre a monster xD
My max is 200!! Working on trying to hold it there!! #yamsquad
@Frank Astier perhaps one day! 😂
He does use a pretty large negative split, so that helps keep the HR a bit lower earlier on, jumping that high that early might mean the start is too hard though.
I'm guessing this isn't quite 100% either, he seems to max at 185 or so, which for a 200max really should have a touch left in the tank.
Same dude
Came here because I am starting to fall in love with this thing. Did just under 2400m in 10min. today, but in my defence it was after a full fitness workout, including abs, shoulders, breast and a 25 min. bike run at 210W average. Didn't know what to do, so I just went for the 10min. option. I am a beginner so I kinda tried to stay between 20 and 25spm, but the fool I am, I had to push a little. It wasn't that bad in the end, but I will be pushing some more after seeing this I guess...
Dude my jaw drops when ur more than half way through and u don’t look tired like 😅
Paced right a 2k shouldn’t be super hard at the 1k
Love your channel and content! Definitely trying to use some of the tips to improve my own.
Awesome! Good luck!
All rowing coaches in the world has the same clothing style :D
That was intense. It's always intense.
Adding the screen and heart rate counter I think added this time!
Great job Sir. Beast
Excellent piece of work! Would be great to see your power/wattage as well!
There's a split to watts converter on the concept2 website if you're curious for this video!
I know the vids a bit old but boy that was impressive. 33 average for 1st 1000 then step it up to 39 for last 1000. I have to ask which no setting do you row at ? I also noticed you would'nt have blown out a candle when you were finished that in itself is truly amazing. Thanks for sharing
Hi David! Yeah maybe time for a newer episode! I think it was a little bit lower experimenting on this 2k, around 3-4.
@cameron can you talk about the breathing patterns and also the best type of breathing pattern in your opinion..thank you cheers
On the cards for a video!! #yamsquad
Cameron you’re the man!
Please give us a 500 TEST! 💪🏻💪🏻
I need that Coach yelling at me...just in everday life....gives me chills everytime...."23's CAMMMMM!!!"
Motivated BY YOU
My FIRST 2K time is :-7:22
Let's go!! Congratulations!
Minerva Bath. Yeah yamsquad.
Awww yyeeaaahhh
Instead of pressing the "display" button repeatedly. You can press the buttons in the row to the right to get directly to the desired view!
You're right but I wasn't trying to change the screen I was changing units!
@@CameronBuchan You lost at least 1 sec to do that process! So u have 5,53 already there ;)
@@pelleakesson2993 good news for the next one then!!
How could this be possible? Amazing!
absolutely amazing.....definitely learnt a few thing from your vid. i'll try to slide less toward the foot pad during the last 500 meters to see if i could pick up the stroke speed
After listening to the music you addedto build up the tension st the start of the row, I was hoping for an anti-climax where you fall of the rowing machine :-) Great effort though!!!
To think that's not actually how fast he could've gone because of having to touch the screen in that second 500
Good sign for Paris! #yamsquad
I noticed your heel didnt raise off the erg at the catch, why is this? I'm an U15 novice whos not very good at ergs but is trying to get better so i want to know if this will help me?
I’m very tall and not lifting my heels was an experiment at this time. I am still rowing relatively long here which could be different for you
Just curious about your thoughts on how much you shorten your stroke at the end. Although the rate gets pushed up quite high which lets you get your splits down for a short period, do you think that there might be merit in keeping it longer and letting your legs still take the majority of the drive through the end of the piece at a lower rate and using the "final kick" energy to ultimately push it even lower? Or do you think that the trade off of drive length for higher rate is ultimately of greater value? I wonder because on the water you often see the crews that stay long seem to maintain greater speed. I am not saying your way is wrong, because I know that ergs and rowing are different beasts to an extent, rather I am just curious if you have tried both ways and found one to be more effective at getting the faster score. By the way, that is a GREAT score... you are beast mode!
I think you answered your own question really. The rate goes high and split goes down for a short period. The short period being the main part. When the rate gets pushed higher and higher, the split drops down and I can't hold those for long! I also can't hold full length in the high 30s for long.... Yet! So yes I think, for me right now, the tradeoff is worth it
This was really interesting to hear you talk through your game plan!, with the stats too!
They say a change is as a rest, pleased that mixing it up seems to be working for ya! I'm agreeing with Mr Boggins thoughts, there is a lot of very poor content out there😴getting more views!??? The title pulls you in! Once you get them in Cam they will be along for the yamsquad ride!
P.s been working on my erg training, wearing an AIO instead of standard gym gear seems to make make me more focused! Any thoughts on any new spring/summer Merch collection? Couldn't work out if I could still order a AIO? love the orange blue and white, maybe add some ladies cut training vests! visors, head bands etc..just a thought, know your a bit busy😂
Hi Abbey! Thanks a lot and you're right!! #yamsquad regarding AIOs I know exactly what you mean!! I want to get some more things in the shop just like you mentioned and perhaps a more consistent AIO for sale too!
Cooley steps off the erg at the end as if it's tea break!
im not sure if theres a reason, but he was taking almost just arms and body strokes at the end, and overall his sequencing seemed not too good, but he still did amazingly..
I was sprinting towards the end which usually makes people shorten up.
Sequencing could need some work but not super necessary on the erg unless doing something really inefficient
@@CameronBuchan Ye ofc! no hate at all you're incredible i just noticed that. I like keeping my erg technique good so it carries through to water training but ig it dosent rlly matter. Edit: i made that comment a year ago and i wanna apologise because you're actually insane and im not sure what i was thinking commenting on something like that and the commentary and everything on this is so useful
wow! Im lucky to hang on to a 1:26 for 1 minute
This makes it look so incredibly easy
Didn't feel easy!
@@CameronBuchan would you recommend this for a 2k?- 1st 500- Target split. 2nd 500- +.02 3rd 500 target split. 4th 500 at -.02 split?
@@jackhalverson1201 if that's what works for you then yes
Did my PR last december, a very nice 6:35.3. Was at the national indoor event (nkir) as a lightweight with a mere 74kg.
Congrats!! #yamsquad
That is my club and the erg I like to use
That erg is so smooth
@@CameronBuchan I know thats why I like it
@Frank Astier depends how much it gets used
Ha , it’s had all it’s rough edges yammed off :)
Great idea how it was presented THANK YOU! I'm brand new to my Concept 2 and rowing finding motivation everywhere through the rowing/erging community (just in time for the "stay home quarantine" ) What about "How Far I'll Go" made that the right song for your effort?
Thanks for watching! Good timing indeed! Just a song I like, wasn't quite the original either!
Awesome.
Thanks!
I feel like you could go sub 5:40 if you didn’t have to play with cameras, machine settings and air pods all while taking a 2k test lol. Great work!
I don't think you understand what a 540 vs 554 is. The changing songs and settings didn't slow me down nor putting a camera next to me. Even if it did, its not going to suddenly give me almost 4 splits
@@CameronBuchan obviously I’m being sarcastic. I can’t get over how you can multitask and still break 6’ on a 2k. Best of luck training! Really enjoy the videos.
Really curious what sort of training you do or have done inorder to improve your Cardiovascular endurance. I'm a highschool rower and I excel at steady state pieces but I really struggle with high rate pieces(really anything over a thirty). Its what I fell I need to work on most especially with the spring season coming up and I was curious if you had any tips.
technical comment and question......comment first...technically, you're a beast!!...awesome job.....and re: the technical question, how are y'all getting both the erg data and heart rate info to be overlayed on your main video feed?.....would luv to do that for my own training vids...
I use a combination of an app called ergdata, my heart rate watch and Adobe after effects!
I never realised you were that fit! Incredible
Thank you for the tips! They suit me
Whats the reason for the half strokes at the end? Great rowing btw.
I'm sprinting
What kind of damper settings is better to row a 2k ? Usually I use a 5.5 but I'm lower than 140 drag factor, it's about 125, 130 for a PB 7:15" I wish to reach sub-7. Very inspiring your vidéos, thank you so much
On every erg a 5 or a 6 is different depending on how they've been maintained. I have been messing with drag factor over the passed few weeks and have settled right now on around 130. You can get sub 7! #yamsquad
Like a boss. Fantastic.
Great stuff - what shoes do you wear pls?
I'm wearing Adidas leistung 2s here!
@@CameronBuchan Many thanks - any views on what you think make good erg shoes - weightlifting shoes like these or other types too?
@@peterjacobs1376 I've actually made a video talking about just that! Essentially making sure you have a stable something to press off of is most important!
