This is a link to a post from another thread. You'll probably come across some similarities from your foray into rowing. If you have any questions, kepp them coming.
Thank you for the link.
I have swapped out a Watt Bike session for a rollers session as - a) i need to get proficient in riding rollers and b) i think it will really improve my bike handling skills and pedal smoothness. I also find them a tough workout and currently have no problem nearing my max heart rate.
My current session is 2x20minute watt bike warm ups with a 5 minute break in between.
Watt Bike 20 min Warm up:
5 minutes - 90rpm
2 minutes - 95rpm
2 minutes - 100rpm
2 minutes 105rpm
1:30 minutes - 110rpm
30 seconds - 115rpm
2 minutes - 90rpm
6 secs - rev out
1 minute - 90rpm
6 secs - rev out
1 minute - 90rpm
6 secs - rev out
2:45 minutes - 90rpm
Something I am struggling with on rollers is bouncing in the saddle at high cadences. Do you or anyone have any advice on how to combat this?
