Here's something different for you all to try:
Take the power in Watts from your low pull record.
Divide by your body weight in kg
Multiply by 100 (to scale the results so ELM can cope)
e.g.
LP 1:15.5 - 813 Watts. Weight 13st 6lbs - 85.35 kg - Result - 953
(Really 9.53 Watts per kg)
Don't hurt yourselves doing this - make sure you're warmed up first, and watch your technique. (That said, mine was dreadful when I did this LP!)

Power Calculation
Power Calculation in Excel is
=2.8/((86400*x/500)^3)
where x is the Low Pull Split in mm:ss.0 format
Common values for this
1:10 - 1020
1:11 - 978
1:12 - 938
1:13 - 900
1:14 - 864
1:15 - 830
1:16 - 797
1:17 - 767
1:18 - 738
1:19 - 710
1:20 - 684
1:21 - 659
1:22 - 635
1:23 - 612
1:24 - 591
1:25 - 570
1:26 - 550
1:27 - 532
1:28 - 514
1:29 - 496
1:30 - 480
(If you're wondering how I got 1:15 point 5, it's because I use e-row, and the stroke data records the split down to one decimal place. The actual value must have been just under, because the PM2 showed a 1:15 on screen, whereas a 1:15.5 dead would round up and show 1:16)

hehehe. You're not supposed to, John!
But seriously, this one is to give some of the lighter Spirits a chance to show their stuff, as none of us can compete with giants like you in absolute terms.
And I'm sure you're right re: the cube/square thing. I just couldn't figure out how to use the C2 weight adjuster on a Low Pull time, so came up with this as an alternative. Also the reason why this is posted on the Fun challenged, as I suspect it may be biased towards the smaller Spirits. (Still, makes a nice change!)
Anyway, gives you a nice incentive to improve your Low Pull!
