Rowing Technique



I found this on Youtube and it is SPOT ON!

Rowing though seemingly very simple is anything but. The legs must drive the back follows and the arms finish. Very similar to the clean and the snatch in effect, we
need to impart as much force into the oar as possible.

Similar to all of our Foundations movements this is not possible with a rounded back. Like a clean we must keep the arms relaxed and extended. By pulling early with the arms it is as rowing with a bungee cord, the force is dissipated along the length of the cord as it stretches and very little remains when it reaches the end.

Watch the video and learn!

If nothing else I am entertained by the stick figures!
