This guy had the foresight to make a video 2 years ago for 2023. What a boss.

after seeing this i relize i have no idea how to row

[kandismueller]

I am a 74 yr old beginner. I know I should start with the correct form to cement good habits and get the best results. Thank you for your clear and concise information, without the bull!

Dude, this was great! Absolutely no BS!!! I didn't have to spend 30 minutes learning the history of rowing and the 30 mistakes I shouldn't make and all this and that. Just straight to the point, and only what I needed. I don't even have a rowing machine yet, but I know I'll be able to have a good form when I get one. Thanks!

just discovered a row machine at my gym and although I LOVED my first experience on it, I am now realizing how bad my form was😂 thank you this video has been very helpful for me!!

That T-Rex impression at 1:06 was hilarious! 😂

The “handle push down” portion of the recovery is also to mimic bringing the blade out of the water. Handle level to chest = blade in water. Handle push down = blade out of water.

I was wondering why I wasn't really "feeling the burn" from rowing and your video has showed me what I was doing wrong 😂 thank you! Super helpful

[Matt-ikdh]

I have only rowed three times now and I have yet to do any of these correctly 😂😂😂

[chelseabunker]

Was never taught the handle push down, but it makes so much sense watching it in action on how it affects how the back and shoulders are engaged in a balanced way

Oh my goodness, I just start taking rowing class about 3 weeks. My instructor didn't teach me any of these. My technique is all over the places. My arm position is wrong, my posture is wrong and now my neck and shoulder got sore. Thank you so much for teaching these techniques. Happy rowing!

this video is amazing. I just started rowing 48 hours ago and I kept wondering why my forearms and shoulders were hurting. I wasn't performing the HANDLE PUSHDOWN even though my body was indicating that it was the right movement to finish the stroke. I really cannot speak too highly about this man's videos. Thanks again.

Perfect presented! No BS and, as a rowing newbie, I really appreciate the simple explanation. Thank you!

[yourclone]

Thanks, Austin! Another superb video: concise, point-by-point, energetic, and comprehensible. I'll be referring to this one on a regular basis.

Finally someone that knows the correct form! As a former rower myself, I find myself analyzing the form of people at the gym. Not a lot of people seem to know correct rowing form. Most common error I see is coming up with with legs first before fully getting the hands down and out

This is exactly what I needed! After being off the water since 2005, and with access to an erg for the first time in as many years, I’ve been excited-but a bit nervous-to get back on. Thank you!

[ericmorales]

Thank you so much! As a novice to rowing, your instruction greatly improved my form, and I significantly improved in 2 days. Bless you!

[paolobramucci]

Excellent technique tuneup/reminder video. Great for beginners and great for longtime rowers to help them ward off slipping into some bad habits. Nicely done and well explained. Thank you Austin for posting this, it very much appreciated.

48 hrs ago… wife calls and says- I found this rowing machine in the box at Goodwill. Would that be a good Christmas present for us? My response- hell yes! Looked up a review of the machine, and this Tall guy gave a favorable review of it. Now I need to learn how to row. Search for techniques video and it’s the Tall guy again. Great video. Love his delivery. Easy breakdown and no BS.
