#Rowing Form

Comment “Technique” below for a form review. This is how pros row. For steady state rowing workouts at low stroke rate, you’re burning useless effort by punching your arms out on the return. It’s using your shoulders, and there is no need for that on the return. For sprints, yes, your hands have to go more “straight in and out”. But for long rows? Try this instead: ✅ Relax your arms down and out. No shoulder tension, keeping the handle low to the thighs ✅ As soon as the handle passes your knees, bend them, and slowly ✨ trickle ✨ your hands upwards to the catch. Watch any pro row and that’s what they do. And you should too! Coach Austin 🤘 . . . #row #rower #rowing #rowingform #rowingmachine

This is what (almost) perfect sculling looks like… And the most important takeaways for you to start emulating this in your own rowing

🔥 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!

How to Use the Rowing Machine Properly 🚣 (Part 3): Reverse Pick Drill: Easily ONE OF the best beginner rowing drills to learn proper sequencing and where power actually comes from (I know I say “the best”, but it really varies person to person). 📸 PRO TIP: do this in front of a mirror or record yourself. Typically, you look way different than how it feels) HOW TO DO IT: 50-70% effort and go slow and controlled (no rushing…think LEGSSSSS!). 1. 10 reps: Legs only - Keeping the body forward and arms straight. 2. 10 reps: Legs → Body → Body → Legsssssss - Letting the body swing but STILL keeping the arms straight the whole time. 3. 10 reps: Full stroke - Arms → Body → LEGSSS → Legs → Body → Arms WHY IT WORKS: By building the stroke backwards, it reinforces that power starts in the legs, not the arms. If rowing has ever felt awkward or arm-y, this drill usually helps fix that it. PSA: filmed @magnusonathleticlub , best gym in Seattle!

We do indeed spend a lot of time pulling stick. Its a full time job to go fast over 2km. Its crazy that we put this much time in for a ~6min race. Thats often why rowers are said to be a bit crazy because it takes commitment like no other sport. Depending on the time of year we are either alone in a boat or in team boats and that also makes a difference. Being alone for hours at a time doing the same movement or pushing as a team for the same goal. Either way it takes a ton of hours between speed and endurance work as well as strength training. #rowingismorethanasport . . #rowing #aviron #rudern #life #sport #athlete #explained #hours #traininghours

These are two common rowing mistakes… Starting at the catch with a bent arm blows up your biceps. It may “feel” like you get a lot of torque from the initial drive but if you do the recovery correctly you should be able to time it right to get that same power with straight arms. Leaning the shoulder behind the hips in the drive may “feel” like you are really pushing with your legs. But it’s the same thing as trying to deadlift in your toes. You are much more powerful pushing through your full foot.

Why is learning (or teaching) rowing so hard? 😅 Crabs. Flips. Out of sync. We’ve all been there. That’s why we built RowYak — a stable, face-to-face rowing kayak that anyone can enjoy from day one. 🚣‍♂️ ✅ Exceptionally stable ✅ Fun & accessible to all skill levels ✅ Face-to-face design (for social fun or instruction) Launching June 17 — Pre-order now & get FREE shipping! 👉 Link in bio @RowYakBoats #RowYak #RowingFails #Rowing #KayakFails #Sculling

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!
