- Guys, what's up?
And welcome to another episode.
For those of you who don't know me,
I am Shane Farmer
and this is Dark Horse Rowing.
Guys, today we are rowing anywhere
and today just happens to be Lululemon in Boulder, Colorado
where we have been filming all week.
So we thought, "Why not?".
Let's ski in a new location.
We decided to pop in
to the Lululemon here in Boulder for the day
and we were doing clinics and skiing
all afternoon with people.
And we've been putting people to the test.
So this week's workout,
because always,
we give you a workout with this video
is going to be a 100 meter ski sprint.
I got a 17.8 seconds,
that's your time to beat.
Go do it, go have fun.
Guys, we're gonna give you some exposure here at Lulu
and we're gonna go have some fun.
(funky pop music)
So we have coach Jane Arbocker here
from Melbourne, Australia.
The ski coach and I'm learning from her.
But, as we were out here,
we were just hangin' out,
she's been teaching me a little bit of the technique.
Yeah, I know we've brought you guys content before
about the skier,
and we're gonna evolve that even further through Jane
and it's super exciting that we get to do this.
I'm gonna give you a little sneak peek.
She's goin' right now.
- See a difference?
- Do you plan to do like a jumping thing?
- I do.
- She's passing it off to somebody else.
We've been out here coaching all day
and having a great time
and making sure that people are taking better strokes,
learning everything they can about this machine.
We are going to be the first to bring you guys content
about how to use this machine consistently
and how to enjoy your time on the machine.
- Exactly.
(music drowns out speakers)
(ski machine whirring)
Come on!
You've got it.
Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going.
(pop music)
Woooh!
- Oh, we got a new record!
- [Jane] 16!
(clapping)
Shane you gotta get there. Go on!
- Do a body building workout with me.
- Ah, that would be a blast.
(whoop)
That'll be awesome.
- Tonight.
- I've just --
- 7:30.
- I've just been challenged to a body building workout.
- I was like, "Did he just beat that? Like ..." --
- Chest, chest and trices.
- Oh yeah.
- Yes, I like trices.
So guys, this is.
Xander, what's your last name?
- Um, Xander Vlastos.
- Guys, Xander Vlastez?
- Vlastos.
- Vlastos, sorry.
(chuckles)
So guys, he has been helpin' us out.
A former gymnast,
also has been training through a local parkour gym.
Unfortunately we're out of time,
otherwise we'd probably ski inappropriately
(chuckling)
at a parkour gym.
We just got done coaching with him.
How was that, learning from Jane?
- Learning from Jane was amazing.
I had never done this before and it was just --
(Jane talking in the background)
It was really, it was an experience.
Yeah.
- [Staff] You all need to ...
- Sorry.
- But, it was awesome.
I'd never done it before and
now I'm gonna have to get into a gym and find one.
- Yeah, oh yeah.
Where do you think you can find one?
- Actually Nelz,
the other guy who you were hangin' out with?
- Yeah.
- There's one at the CU Rec Center.
- It's another guy that we were coaching and working with --
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Glad you like it man.
- It was awesome, thank you.
- So what's happening with you with your hands
is you're coming down
and then you're kind of bringing them up and together, k?
So posturely it means that you're rounding
through your shoulders on the way up,
but also the way that the machine actually works
to bring your hands in,
is then creating inefficiency in the cable.
Your handles wanna go home.
They basically wanna stay in line with where they belong,
which is on top of the pulley.
And because of your height,
your home is gonna be about there
and that's actually totally fine, all right?
(pop music drowns out dialogue)
- That one's better.
Don't go as deep.
Okay, keep going.
(pop music)
- [Shane] The guys that are really good ...
But the guys that are really good like,
at two things,
are really not that far apart.
(pop music covers dialogue)
- [Jane] 30 seconds down, 30 seconds up.
Keep going.
- Good. Get it now. Come on.
(machine whirs)
- Good, good, good.
Come on, you can do it.
Come on, you can do more.
Ah, 20.7!
(yell)
- You're gonna get it sooner or later.
- Point, point one.
(mumble)
- Shane, you're gonna have to do it again.
- Even better.
- He's a machine.
- 16.8
(whooping)
I think, let me check the memory on that.
Yeah, true 16.8 --
- You can see it.
Of his first three after that --
- Yeah.
- All right.
New time,
to beat 100 meters.
16.8
Come and get me.
So we just had a group of guys come hang out with us
and we actually had a Cal rower join in.
Say Hi, Channing.
- Hi guys.
(chuckling)
- And for the record,
I beat him on the 100.
(snickers)
I'm just saying.
I mean his 2K score's way lower than mine.
(chuckling)
(pop music)
Jane, what are you gonna do?
- Okay, so I'm see how fast I can do a 100 meters like this.
One arm at a time.
(chuckling)
See what happens.
- How does that go again?
- And you need like, the Benny Hill's music.
- Will you show me how it goes again?
(chuckling)
All right, hold on. - Let's get some --
- What, we got a 100 on the screen.
- Imagine if I beat him --
- She's ready to go.
Here goes, Jane Arbocker,
Queen of the skier.(laughing)
- Oh.
- Going.
- I'm up on unit 76 strokes and more.
(Shane laughing)
It says double pull to calibrate.
It's not counting.
- Is it going?
- No! (panting)
- This is not --
- Oh, it was!
- Okay, now go!
(panting breaths)
Yeah, oh!
Keep going Jane!
- All right.
You can't make it.
(heavy breathing)
(Shane chuckling).
- 25.3! - 25.3!
- Yeah. (laughing)
I tell you what, my triceps --
- That was surprisingly entertaining.
I think we can agree that's probably
not the most efficient technique.
(pop music)
