this thing doesnt do shit for me. i want to use it for conditioning purposes but i have to go HAM on this highest setting to even get remotely out of breath or break a sweat, and im not even that well conditioned. Am i using it wrong?

Review the proper form for rows again and remember to pull back initiating with your lats, not your arms. I see too many people at the gym doing shit reps because they don't know how to row to save their life. Breathe out when contracting in, and breathe in when extending out.
Oh too easy for you? Cool man.
I hope you watched proper rowing form on youtube mr. olympicon.
It's pretty a much deadlift over and over again but with a pendlay row at the end. When going forwards make sure the 'oar' goes past your knees before u start bending them. Instead of doing as many strokes as possible try to do fewer strokes but as hard as possible. Tense your ass cheeks each time u pull.
im pretty sick and tired of people acting like rowing is some arcane art
How long are you even doing it for? 1-2 Minutes? 5 minutes? 10+?
It's primarily an endurance machine and a strength building one after that.
I don't really understand the cult for these things
Like are you supposed to gas yourself in a couple hundred meters or keep pace until you get bored or your ass goes numb after 30 minutes? Cause keeping pace doesn't exactly feel challenging but a small increase in intensity can start causing fatigue real quick. What's the fucking deal
i try to do it for 30 min at a steady pace but barely feel it until 20 minutes in.
what sort of splits are you pulling?
the /500m time
