As I'm back on slides again, I now have no "lower back issues" any more. Reason was quite simple, but not nice to admit… not a proper technique at catch; I was "pulling and opening" too early, instead of "really pushing" with legs from very very beginning on.
I had to change/adapt/optimize my sequence timing
(legs>trunk>arm) by a certain amount, as I find erging on slides very different compared to erging on static. Power curve now looks much better
(=smoother), but very different compared to power curve on static. On static I had more a combination of
DDR/Adam style, on slides it's looks mainly like
Rosenberg style. My HR "baseline" is still a tad higher than on static and I can't maintain good/proper
(at least for my current understanding) technique for more than about 1h45m, maybe 2h; I'm then mentally exhausted. Standing start from standing position
(at catch position) is still very difficult, it takes up 6 strokes till I'm into flow, but rolling start and changing SPM is very easy and comfy.
I definitely like erging on slides more than erging on static. For me it feels more "natural"
(without this "skidding around the body").
So far from me.
