Senior Men get stuck into new weights programme!

10th September, 2024

The Senior Men’s season has got off to a busy start! We have been out on the water, getting stuck into our new weights programme, and had our first test erg last week.

The squad made use of a great gym space in Bathford for a couple of group sessions to work on our technique. The gym is called Proteus and is owned by ex-Minerva member Fin Feaver and his business partner. Below are some pictures of our session and details about the gym if other members are interested. It is a great space and the squad have certainly benefited from using it.

Our first test erg of the season was a deceivingly tough 1km r24 max effort. It’s a great session as it develops power and is also a fairly accurate 2km test estimate if you double your final time. Below is an example of one of the top scores in the squad. Next up, we start our weekly 30r20 efforts – wish us luck!
