im falling in love with your videos and rowing. i just started 2 months ago because my friends said id be good at it because of my height of 6'4 being only 14 yrs old. my first 2k i got 7:58.2 and then second was 7:38.1 and only hope to improve on the third, aiming for around 7:25. my goal is sub 7 before summer hits and with your videos i feel so motivated and inspired to keep on going. Thank you Cameroon Buchan! all my credit goes to you
@@CameronBuchan Hey Cameron! its been almost 2 months but the journey is going well. I just had my High school novice sprints yesterday, it was a 1500m where i scored a 5:12 time and won! I surprised myself with a time like that. Thank you for all of the videos you post, they really inspire me to become better not just at rowing but as a person!
Hey Cam, i just want to point some misconceptions in this topic. You 've probably had tested blood lactate levels and not lactic acid levels. Lactic acid is acid by its ph values, where lactate is bicarbonate, a salt basically. Why is blood lactate test important for endurance athletes? We have 2 main energy systems in our body anaerobic (cp and glycogen) and aerobic (o2), but they are never used separately. Lactate levels shows us in what measure we use anaerobic lactic source in our activities. Which is very important when planning and programming functional training routine. Latest trends shows that largest volume of training is done in ut2 zone (sub 2 mmol/l blood lactate levels), this training zone doesn't make you row faster on 2k but rather prepare your cells metabolically for better clearance of toxic byproducts, increase number of mitochondrias in cell which allows more oxygen to be accepted in the cell, which should increase vo2 max. This allows us to recover much better in between high intensity sessions and are great for technical development. I'm not scientist so don't take my comment for granted, but should be generally correct. Keep the yam :)
You're exactly right Vladimir! My terminology was off but like you said blood lactate was tested not lactic acid levels! Thanks for the correction! #yamsquad
CAM!!!! Crazy you talk about your journey right now. Im 17 and just started rowing a few months ago. I am looking for a PG year at Kent also, I had a meeting with coach houston the other week and I finished my application tonight. My coach now also rowed at Kent! Crazy world we live in, its a dream school for me. YAAAAM SQUAD
It took me almost a year to sub 7 and it was all mental. I had the power being 5’11’’ and 181 pounds. Current pb and could probably get better is 6:47.4.
I'm trying to figure out what new times for beginners are - I've been sedentary for like 5 years and I'm 20% body fat. still got 6:49 the first time for 2k. after just 3 rowing sessions I've started the sensei training program just now so ill see how I go with that
Caught a knee injury while doing the sport I love, cycling, and got forced to do rehab and strength training. I figured that I needed to have some goals with my training to not get completely mad while being at the gym, so I started pulling a bit on the rowing erg. Started doing intervals right away, and now did my first 2k after 4 interval sessions ;). Managed to complete it in 6:52! Im quite tall, 193cm, and I currently weigh about 85-86kgs so maybe its not that impressive but Im really pleased with that. My aerobic system is pretty good but I really lack the overall body strength for a good 2k. In two/three months have probably completed the rehab and il do a second 2k. If I can pull out a sub 6:40 il probably have to keep on rowing and have cycling as a second sport, because the thought of having a couple of years of rowing in me and 10 more kgs of muscle, something good might be possible to achive. Your video was so interesting and motivational, I just had to share my own ”story”. Thanks Cam!
Just got a new 2K PB at 7:30.0. I'm 58 5'9 heavyweight. Try to work on decreasing the time down to 7:20 and below 7 minutes within the next year. But this is becoming tough ! 😊
I just pulled a 6:55 for my first time on an erg today, this makes me really excited I can get sub 6! I’m 5 ft 8 so that’d be a huge achievement to me!
I just pulled 6:49 on my first ever 2k after a week if training, and I'm 20% body fat and been sedentary for 5 years. I don't think sub 7 means much to be honest
When I used to row in highschool I was stuck at 6:52. I realized it was a mental block when I pulled a 4000 meters at 1:45. But I still could not overcome it and I quit rowing shortly after. Now in university I am starting rowing again and I hope to finally go under 6:50. Your videos are a great motivation!
Binging your videos now. I was a 128kg fat ass back in march. Ive only been training (hard) for 6 months and only 1 month on the rower, im now 106kg and have a 6:52. Glad to hear the span of the pb's. Im 36 with a full time laborious job so id be happy with a sub 6 30 some time in the next year
I couldn't get my eyes off your suit, is this a vintage piece? Ok, I know it may not sound much as a compliment but my greatgrandma who was into knitting had made a tablecloth with a very similar pattern :) , that was back in the 30's of course.
Sometimes a bit of prep can go a long way if you're struggling with rate but also rate can be quite individual and dependent on who you are as an athlete!
Big Man Cam thanks for going through your first time on the concept2 for 2k, from 6:54 - 5:50. I got drafted in baseball and played college basketball in Lousiana years ago. im 6'7 230lbs. I picked up CrossFit 5 months ago and hopped on the rowing machine for my first time. Doing 30-45 seconds max these 6 months. never doing more than that. I tried 2k today for my first time and got a 6:31 I know absolutely ZERO about rowing, I only looked up the sport last night and came across your page. I've watched 10 videos since then and have gotten excited. Im curious about your thoughts on this time to start / putting my focus in training. Thanks!
Big Man Paul! Well done on the 2k! That's great for your first time. Pretty cool you came across the videos! Any time is a good time to start anything if you have a passion for it! Would be cool to work with you on the yamsquad training program!
hey Cameron. Now that you've mentioned that thing about not being at your best throughout the season and having to work with that in mind, would you speak some time about how you organize your training in terms of conditioning, strength, stamina, etc, during the season? I can't seem to find any info related to rowing about this theme. The question i keep geting unanswered is wehther is best to build up strength and then build the stamina to spread it over a 2k, or first getting the stamina and then get more strong. I used to feel like the first was more accepted, but every now and then i'm hearing that stamina is more difficult to build so that's why you should work on that first, and then get stronger. I keep having this thought that for being prepared at a certain time of the year, you'll need more time gaining a certain amount of stamina than that same amount of strenght (i know they're not comparable but that's the idea). And if strenght is losed faster than stamina, maybe i should build that last. Because not only i'll get to spend less time losing what i gained first (i.e. losing stamina while building stregth), but it also will get losed slower. (!! --> All of that keeping in mind that theres a conditioning period just after this, where i get used to the 2k distance or whatever goal i set.) What do you think?
That's a really interesting one! I've always went by the method of base fitness and strength are developed first and then later on in the season power and speed are added on top as like you said the former takes a while to improve! It can vary from person to person though so what works for one person might not work for another! #yamsquad
7:14 is my best for 2000m. Been rowing for 3 months. I don't have the power and endurance. I've built up from 10mins rowing and each week I added 1 min to the row. I was doing initially 6 times a week before a gym workout. When I got to 23 mins I could only do 2 times per week But I would get close to 5900m. Just been too tired to get 24 mins. So I've been back to 1-2km until I get the motivation back. This is my log. 100m 0:17.8 min 500m 1:31.5 min 1000m 3:25 min 2000m 7:14.3 min 10 mins 2660m.

Sounds like you're doing a lot of work! If the times you're talking are flat out, perhaps you can reduce the intensity and do a little longer to work on the endurance part. #yamsquad
Hi Cam I started premier level dragon boat/OC1 paddling at the age of 33. I think building the muscle is one of my biggest issues when paddling with the 20-something year olds on my team, while also working full time. I have knee issues and can't run long distances, so I use rowing instead (6k cardio test). My current plateaus are: 1:37 / 500m, 7:38 / 2k, and 23:28 / 6k. I see the splits you pull and just wonder how; is it the height? Purely your strength? I don't think my form can be so terrible. I love hearing about your journey. Thanks
Glad you enjoy hearing about it! I definitely have an advantage being tall but I've seen people go faster than me that are smaller! Mostly just time spent training!
So. How much training is needed the make sure to reach a sub 7:00 on the 2K? I’m 44 and current weight is 124kg. Start my journey 5 months ago. Started rowing more and more. Better nutrition.
It is a little bit of a “how long is a piece of string” question. Everyone is different. I have written programs for athletes that have been in the 740s and broke 7 after a few months and some after a bit longer. Really depends!
I use deadlift shoes like Jelle said. It definitely is a personal preference but there are differences to the body and pushing angle depending on the shoe you use! I'm in the middle of making a video about them! #yamsquad
Hey, Cam. I'm a relative newbie when it comes to rowing. I swam in college doing the 1650 y/1500 m as my primary event. Post college I did quite a bit of cycling and marathon training. But while my kids were young I couldn't get a lot of training in. Now I'm 41 and have been going to Orange theory for the past 2 years. That's where I really got introduced to rowing. I enjoy it and it inspired me to buy my own concept 2. I've done probably 10 or fewer 2K, most on the water rower. My best 2K on the concept 2 is 6:47. My total time on the rower per week is a measly hour to an hour and a half, with my total workout time per week of about 4 hours. Do you think I have potential to go sub 6:30 if I start dedicating more time? I'd love to know your thoughts.
Hey Michael! Great that you found rowing! I'd say the vast majority of people are capable of going sub 630 with structured training. I have a spot open on the Yamsquad training program that we could get you on to help you!
Hey Cameron, how important is deadlifting and squatting for rowing? I have always focused on my upper body in the gym because I wanted to build my upper body strength particularly back and shoulders. This was before I started rowing. Is it possible to build leg strength just from erging or do I need to incorporate deadlift squats as well?
With ur height that’s a great advantage. Coz it’s ur first 2km pace urself well and don’t burn out. If u hang off the handle and apply ur pressure affectively a sub 7:10 should be easy which is a 1:47.5 average split
I wondered where my Grandmas table cloth had gone!

My total time on the rower per week is a measly hour to an hour and a half, with my total workout time per week of about 4 hours. Do you think I have potential to go sub 6:30 if I start dedicating more time? I'd love to know your thoughts.
Hey Michael!
Great that you found rowing! I'd say the vast majority of people are capable of going sub 630 with structured training.
I have a spot open on the Yamsquad training program that we could get you on to help you!
Is the information on your website? You have a patreon page right?
@@michaelbonomo4983 indeed. There is a link in the describiton of the video and even a discount code if you want to use it!
Hey Cameron, how important is deadlifting and squatting for rowing? I have always focused on my upper body in the gym because I wanted to build my upper body strength particularly back and shoulders. This was before I started rowing. Is it possible to build leg strength just from erging or do I need to incorporate deadlift squats as well?
Incorpore legs, erg will not build your legs enough
Are you guys on Strava?
Some of us are yeah! Not for rowing though!
Hey Cam, my 2k is 6.51, but I can barely get above 30 spm. Any suggestions on how to raise spm?
work on higher rates during trainings : i had the same problem before
I recently done 6min 58 for 2k.
How would I get to 6min 30??
Do you think improving deadlift will help?
steady state and squat
Hey Cam, I've got my first 2k in a few weeks time, age 15, 6'0", 68.3kg in Australia. Any advice as to what I should aim for
@Tyler McNutt that's kinda obvious, isn't it?
With ur height that’s a great advantage. Coz it’s ur first 2km pace urself well and don’t burn out. If u hang off the handle and apply ur pressure affectively a sub 7:10 should be easy which is a 1:47.5 average split
@@Compass636 thank you so much, I really appreciate this. I'll give you an update when I've done it
@@Compass636 just to let you know, i had a 5k today and i got 19:42, which is ok i guess
erratic razor mate, congrats that’s a solid job well done 🙌🙌🙌. Was it ur first one? And how was ur 2km
ナイス！
Im 15 and 5,7 feet light weight (156pounds ) my best 2k was 6:58.2
Good job Pepe! Keep up the great work! #yamsquad
