#Concept Rower

🔥 FAST Sprints on the rower require SPECIAL technique! This is NOT the technique you’d use for any row longer than 2 minutes max! These tips are focused on peaking power for 10-30ish second sprints primarily! 🔥 Tip 1: don’t bend your legs up all the way! ✅ Focus on heels down, with about a 90 degree leg bend! 🔥 Tip 2: focus on MORE lean at the front! ✅ Peak power comes from the hip swing after the leg drive. Without a lot of lean forward, you’re gonna miss out on power! Think “11 to 1 o’clock” with your body! 🔥 Tip 3: don’t fall off the seat! ✅ Apply your force ONLY horizontally and try to “sit heavy” in the seat! 💪 Combine these tips with aggression and a high stroke rate, and you’re set to CRUSH any row sprint that comes your way!

Not enough people realize how MASSIVE of a mistake this is… On the @concept2inc (and pretty much every rowing machine, water rower etc)- you’ve gotta understand that the chain CONNECTS during the stroke sequence at a SLIGHT DIAGONAL angle! It is not “straight in and out of the machine”. Seriously… go film yourself rowing and you will see EVERY TIME the chain snaps up slightly. Every inch of the drive you take before the “snap up” is WASTED because you have little to no connection when the chain isn’t slightly diagonally pulled. While this example in the video might be exaggerated, carrying your hands low is taking most of the efficiency out of your rowing stroke. ❌ The answer is NOT to “scoop” the handle to lift the hands! This is unsustainable at high stroke rates. ✅ Instead, try this drill. Pause at the knees with the handle low to your thighs, then slowly “trickle” aka lift your hands up up up… it’s a SUBTLE movement. Then, drive back with your hands lifted high and notice INSTANTLY how much stronger and connected your stroke feels. Massive difference. That handle path takes some practice to nail down, but once you get it, you’ll feel connected from start to finish every stroke! 💪 Happy rowing! 🚣‍♂️ Coach Austin 🤘 . . . #row #rower #rowing #rowingmachine #erg #rowingworkout #rowingworld #hyrox #crossfit #rowingispassion #rowingrelated

Rowing IS NOT A PULL MOTION! At least, on the rowing machine it isn’t! The perception of rowing being “a pull” is what is hindering so many from achieving thier true potential on the rower! 
When we “pull” each stroke, we lean back early and don’t allow ourselves to drive maximum force and acceleration into the stroke! Every rowing stroke starts with a PUSH, not a pull… The idea is to PUSH your legs down first, then swing your body back, THEN you can “pull” your arms in! But this pull comes only at the very end! One of the most challenging things about the leg push is keeping your body leaned FORWARD as you push back. Do your best to NOT let your body lean back until the legs have been fully pushed down! This will allow you to accelerate into a strong swing through your hips - which is what actually generates the PEAK POWER of your rowing stroke! Rowing is so technical, I know… but hopefully this helps you out a bit. Give the “leg push” thought a try today and let me know if you felt a difference in your rowing! . . . #row #rower #rowing #rowingmachine #cardio #otf #orangetheory #orangetheoryfitness #veganfitness #vegansofig #crossfit #crossfitgirls #crossfitwod

Think speeding up your rower strokes = faster pace? Not quite. ❌ Fast strokes, low power → wasted energy, no real speed. ✅ Controlled strokes, high power → efficient, sustainable pace and stronger 500m splits. The secret? Power over panic. Smooth, consistent strokes will always beat frantic speed. 👉 What stroke rate do you hold during WODs? 👇 #crossfit #rowing #concept2 #conditioning #wod #fitness #endurance #technique

Demonstrating the proper way to move our Concept 2 rower! 🚣‍♂️ Start by placing the monitor down and ensuring the seat is pushed forward. Then, lift the rower slowly and wheel it to your desired location. Proper handling is key to maintaining equipment and enhancing your workout experience. Let’s keep our gear in top shape! 💪 #Rowing #Concept2 #ProperTechnique

Here’s how you can find and set your ideal drag factor on the Concept 2 Rower: 1. Turn on your Concept 2 rowing machine. 2. Navigate to the menu and select ‘More Options’. 3. Choose ‘Display Drag Factor’. 4. Start rowing, and you’ll see the drag factor displayed on the screen. Experiment with different damper settings to find what feels best for you. Remember, keeping the flywheel clean is also essential for consistent resistance.

Have you ever used this rower setting? This is one of my favorite ways to teach people how to create power properly on the rower because it gives you immediate feedback to your stroke. Next time you are on the Concept2 Rower give this setting a try.

Body positioning is key to setting up power application on the drive. There’s no “right way” to go fast, but this is how I feel the most effective! #rowing #rowingmachine #crossfit #hyrox #concept2 #rowingtips #erg #ergtest #erging #row #crew #rowingtechnique #rowingworkout #howtorow

Using a rowing ergometer (row erg) properly ensures an effective workout while minimizing the risk of injury. Because we use this machine regularly, it is essential to learn how to use it correctly: 1. Start by adjusting the damper setting to a moderate level (typically between 3 and 5) and securing your feet in the straps so they are snug but not overly tight. 2. Sit up tall with your shoulders relaxed and grip the handle lightly, keeping your wrists straight. 3. Begin the stroke with the catch position: knees bent, shins vertical, arms extended, and torso slightly forward. 4. Initiate the movement by driving with your legs, engaging your core as your hips open, and then pulling the handle toward your lower chest. 5. Reverse the motion for the recovery phase: extend your arms first, hinge your hips forward, and let your knees bend as you slide forward for the next stroke. 6. Maintain a smooth, controlled rhythm, focusing on power during the drive and a steady return during recovery. Always keep your movements coordinated and avoid hunching your back or using only your arms to pull. Be sure to let the bar pass your knees before bending them - this is an important part of the recovery. Rowing is a great way to improve your conditioning and get a great cardio workout with low impact, and it requires proper technique for efficiency and speed. We are here to help! Just ask a coach to assess your technique 🙌🏼 #crossfit #crossfithonolulu #rowing #rowerg #rowtechnique #muscleandmotion #strengthandconditioning #concept2rower

This is the biggest beginner trap in rowing and how to avoid it and not get injured Pulling rather than pushing. It’s a pushing sport not a pulling sport. Your legs are stronger than your upper body so use the stronger muscles to go fast and be effective Picture this - the connection goes from the spoon in the water, up to the handle, along your arm, through your trunk, down into the legs and onto the footplate. You start pushing and it goes back up along the same pathways. Through the legs, through the trunk and core, up through the shoulder into the arms and onto the handle and back to the spoon. KEY LESSON: Push through the legs, hang off the upper body. Don’t just pull the upper body. Pulling leads to injury. Pushing is effective and better. #rowing #rowingmachine #rowingrelated #worldrowing #concept2
