Yes, that is a brilliant explanation. It was a breakthrough for me today as I shaved 20 seconds off my split just by doing it.

Thank you so much. But how do i put a closet rigger into the water as i see you stand in the triangle when lifting/carrying it

Wonderful ❤advice

Whoa. Big caveat. Pause at the catch works if athlete already has sufficient balance. If not, then they’re hooking the water and doing the *opposite*, dropping the hands to get clear.

This would have been helpful to watch earlier. I just did my first one today. 7:08. I died pretty hard. I'm 183 cm 40 y/o.

Just learning to row a single and because I'm short, it's a struggle. My coach told me I should not carry it at my waist, even though that's by far the easiest and most stable way for me to do it. Any thoughts on that?

I look forward to a more detailed video with advice to help deal with these issues thanks

this guy's a good coach

Best explanation I've seen of the catch - just what I was looking for.

This is dangerous.... Cable ties are not strong enough

Great video. I am 54 years of age and have been following this advice and I have surprised myself how much faster I am going.

Pads are great for adjusting some backsides to some seats, etc, but to how do 1/2” pads help with those common large height variations between kids? It’s mostly height at the oar lock, no?

"you can't place the blade on the way forward..." hmm...I think the concept of "backing it in" suggests that you _do_ effectively raise your hands at the _final_ movement forward of the recovery...there is _always_ going to be some form of non-ideal contact between the blade and the water...but rather a very small amount on the back of the blade as opposed to not being locked on and then checking the boat...right ?

Rowing with your left hand just slightly in front is also another very good way to balance the boat.

True for most rowers. Some high level elites can catch (get the blade in) a moment *before* they reach full slide position, ie still coming forward.

Tip No9, grow 6 inches.

Same idea when you're doing flutter kicks, if your foot comes to high or out of the water, you end up just lifting water/fanning air with your foot

I lot of people refer to "just covering the spoon" or "just keep the blade where it naturally sits in the water" so hearing the opinion to place the blade quite deep is certainly different...would it not potentially cause issue with the extraction ?

Among the tons of rowing stroke videos out there, this is the BEST! I've linked to it many times, whenever this topic is up for discussion...

Just to get it right ... question: Does this guy in the vid want say, that the force onto the shoulders at the beginning of the catch should be avoided, instead the oars should be guided by the arms with a circular movement around the pivet points of the oar gates to guide the blades and acceleration force into the horizontal direction during the push by the legs ? (Rec.: Coach Aram (Biorower) from Austria here about has some good videos to avoid the stress onto the weak muscles in the shoulder/back using the arms to move circular around the pivet points instead in a straight line while the legs do their work)

I could be wrong, but listening to the ergo engagement, it seems to only start when the body and arms take over and the legs seem a little lost!

Surely that’s just the difference in total power, her splits dropped nearly 40 seconds. At that slower first pace how can you still apply that acceleration if the total force is so low?

like "pausing at the finish is a good exercise"....yeah they all agree on that one...lol

Show us.

Beloy??

does the mean "you don't want to decelerate" ?

Si esta dentro de sus posibilidades ponerle traduccion al español seria genial gracias

Super helpful, thanks for taking the time to demonstrate what I imagine is a neglected but important topic

Are there crocodiles there

Wonderful thanks!

Here we go! Just heard that sound at the finish this morning. Sounds like music to my ears 🥰

When balance is really bad, it pays off to slide your oars over the water on the recovery, forcing the boat to stay level and the rowers to catch the next stroke in a level boat. After a while you will see that the other rowers adjust their handle heights to row much better and faster. Of course your contribution has to be correct.

Thank you for sharing in such clear and efficient way.

Is that Franklin?

excellent video - i'm looking to do my first adult learn to row tomorrow and this really helps - thank you

These exercises of tensing/relaxing lower body / upper body / fist / shoulders muscles are working really well!

True!

i am a coxswain but i got the chance to row a single at my race yesterday, i watch your videos and it helped me place 3rd! I was in 1st for the first 25 strokes but then i caught a crab, instantly got put back to 3rd but a good race is when a boat finishes behind you.

but what's the difference compared to pulling a bit harder on your bowside oar ?

Does anyone know how you get the power curve onto the video like that?

watching these videos have helped me improve my skulling, thank you!

When I was learning to row, my coach did the same thing, it really helped me feel that feeling in my core and my feet and let me get major power in my legs and got me a killer split time

Really excellent advice

Found this very useful

Thanks!

The theory sounds simple…..! 😬

It's most comfortable for me to carry it on my elbow

Most important in order to avoid to hurt your back

Lots of great elements to like here, however I would caution against the "straight back rocker" message to athletes. According to physics it can induce a separation of the lower vertebrae leading to back issues. "relax and fold" out of the back of the stroke is a better message.
