Guys. Champion rower 14yo experience. Only a rower can teach you. Shes not body over anywhere near enough.

it is not bad to round your back a bit at the catch. You need to use back extension in the stroke to have more power and in general it is not bad to let your heels lift if it isn’t exaggerated, that is why the stretchers are designed to accommodate it.

[ray-pingminors]

Rowing is about efficiency. Your stroke must be as long as possible, and from the second you start accelerating you must keep accelerating till the end of your stroke, as efficiently as possible. Sub 6min 2k here, and you can root yourself at 20 strokes per minute.

Your form isn’t quite right, but it is a major improvement. Some slight tweaks to be made:
- you can lift your heels off the stretcher so that you can reach vertical shins for the catch. You could do this one of two ways the easy way is to just lift them by raising the feet on the ergo, the second is a more long term fix of improving your flexibility so that they only have to lift slightly.
- you aren’t quite getting enough body lean. It has gone from one extreme to another. Think about a clock face. It should be 11-1 ensuring that you still have that lean forwards all the way to the catch but making sure that your shoulders don’t drop and you engage your legs first
- third and final comment is again to do with your feet. You are raising your toes of the stretcher board. You should engage your core muscles to keep these flat as you can engage the most power through the ball of your feet right at the catch. A good exercise to fix this is feet out rowing to have less reliance on the straps. This will also help if you row in a boat as well and can be replicated as an exercise out on the water.


Good luck and have fun rowing

as a J16 rower my coach would kill me if i did either

[AxeMurderer]

I'm by no means an expert but what I love about rowing is that every single strokes takes concentration and I'm constantly checking and adjusting my form to get more out of it. Any movement is good but the better your form gets, the stronger you become.

[kristinapaxton]

Technique unfortunately is still wrong. You should be pushing through your toes, and with a straight back there should be some slight hinging back to get the full stroke. Get in a skiff or double and you will understand.

[nowhy]

Both are wrong. As a rower, you need to swing from the hips. The power comes from the hips. Then you swing back

[caraninja]

The first is also bad. You need to follow legs, body, arms, then reverse it. You should have arms and body over and THEN bend your knees. Look up videos from Concept2

[tenispro]

Appalling form even the “correct” one is horrendous

[frogmanpipes]

Good thing you covered the dont part of the video. In senseless words

[Cam-sfme]

Is it just me, but as rower, the first one looked wrong. I think she needs to bend her back more

[Noahrerro]

You do need a pivot in your hips right after your arms go in and out it's arms, pivot, legs

[subhamkumarsah]

legs - core - arms then arms - core- legs

[OAMLLMAO]

NONONO!!! It’s legs body arms, arms body legs. Idk what you’re doing trying to give advice with form like that lmao

[odettg]

I guess some don't do it because we don't know how to use it, but it's more because we have back problems that we can't fix 😏

[truthbetold]

thanks i got myself a rower for extra cardio good i modified i was doing it wrong

[svynie]

what does this machine does to help your body lose weight? I have always wanted to know each gym machine and what they do for your body, like is there ones for weight gain and ones for weight loss?

[longdang]

My back hurts watching the first one. Her hips are stiff as hell. I doubt she can keep that form for more than 15 minutes.

[mcquadextx]

All I will say...watch Olympic rowing. No depth in this, it's as if you are restricting yourself. No power at all.
