Always a work in progress.

You're welcome.

You're welcome, glad it connected!

Sure, utilizing the rowing machine for high-intensity, short-duration workouts is a fine strategy. However, I'd argue that refining your technique could potentially amplify your performance and might be worth considering. With improved efficiency, you could row faster, stronger, and burn more energy in less time, all while reducing the risk of injury and maybe even feeling better during your workouts. So, even if your focus isn't on achieving maximum distance or becoming a "good rower," (neither are necessary anyways) perfecting your technique can still provide significant benefits. Because in the end, I bet you'd agree, that it's about maximizing your results, regardless of your approach and goals.

Absolutely, it's common to see many people, including professional fighters like MMA athletes, rowing at a fast pace. Rowing fast is not inherently wrong. But many people row too fast and because of that, they fail to put their bodies in the most effective position to produce force and get the most out of their training on the machine. It's important to recognize that speed alone doesn't determine effectiveness. And really - just as with ANY physical activity, refining technique can significantly impact performance and overall fitness. Rowing with increased power, precision, and endurance, could directly translate into improved performance in the ring. And that may require rowing slower to get it right. Then you can amp up the speed. And really, you may see people doing all kinds of things online, but that doesn't mean it's the right, or the best method for you.

Yes.

I agree it looks good after!

Some places focus more on getting your heart rate up than the total meters rowed or efficiency of each stroke! And that's ok if that's their model, though I wonder how much MORE you could for your heart rate do with an efficient stroke!

I think variation in exercise is important.

Indeed - which is why this is just a general starting point!

rowing will never. NEVER. feel effortless.

The rower is about how much resistance you create for yourself it shouldn't be effortless. If it's too easy you need to row stronger.

@@fernandadelfierro6423 I kept working hard to get fitter, waiting for it to get easier. It doesn't.... You just go faster.

They are extended but not locked out. I just did a video on this specific thing! Check it out! ua-cam.com/video/PqzB-vrQCpk/v-deo.html

Indeed!

Lowering the handle on the recovery isn't necessary in indoor rowing as there's no oar to manipulate on the other end. Maintaining a straighter path back allows for a more efficient stroke. Additionally, the layback seen here contributes to a longer stroke, engaging a wider range of muscles and potentially enables more power on each stroke. Of course, the level of layback is personalized based on factors like stroke rate, strength, and stability. But in this video, my client's layback is well-suited to her stroke, providing plenty of time to complete the stroke and then extend her arms before the body starts to follow. Overall, her technique aligns with both her specific needs and fits the general model of the stroke.

The stroke looks slower because she is holding her legs down long enough for her body to swing over after her arms extend. This puts her in a better position before she arrives back at the catch, which is the front of the stroke, and prepares to drive back. So yes, I'd say the BEST thing one can do when fixing their stroke is to slow down. It gives you time to get your body in the right position. AND if you can row slower AND still get the same output, then you're able to row longer, or even stronger if you pick up the speed with efficient technique! Hope that helps!

Certainly helpful!

It's actually not about keeping your heels down at the catch. The priority is to get your shins vertical to get the full range of compression and allow for the biggest drive. Then as you begin that drive, we aim to get the heels down and push through the foot as it returns to the foot stretchers. IF you try to keep your heels down solely to keep your heels down, you may be leaving power untapped by restricting yourself to less compression. Heels down is a fine cue for someone who is OVER compressing, but it's not THE cue for everyone, all the time.

It's certainly an improvement!!

Thanks!

It can be hard to watch others move less efficiently when you know some cues that might help! But everyone finds their own way and nothing is inherently dangerous!

Thanks!

How did it go?

While YT can be a valuable resource for learning tons of skills, it's overly simplistic to suggest that a coach is definitely unnecessary for something like rowing, or honestly, any other thing. Many people benefit greatly from the personalized attention, feedback, and expertise that a coach can offer, especially when it comes to mastering techniques effectively. Plus there are SO MANY videos out there, how do you choose what is best for you? How do you progress? Everyone has different learning styles and needs, and for many, having a coach can make a significant difference in their progress and understanding.

Thanks!

Gurl your hair 🤘

Lol no one rows without raising heels. The main issue with her tech in the second one is the stiffness and lack of smoothness

@@Tom-vu1wr I don't

@@italiadude1972 if Ur not raising Ur heels, unless u r hyper mobile u r probably losing length round the front

Yeah if your in an actual boat and you don’t lift heels your actually kinda fucked.

That's awesome! They are a great duo.

Ok sure.
