Nov 18, 2008 - Its interesting to hear about different clubs' techniques. We tend to really emphasise quick hands and body rocks.Anyway, for any novices, be advised that if all else fails you Probably SHOULD NOT pull harder. Firstly it won't be very effective, but more importantly, if you're using your back wrongly, an injury could be the result. "adding weight compounds mistakes" as my coach says

Nov 18, 2008 - what should be a normal 500m time? I use a concept2 using the 500m/1minR workout, and have my intervals at 2min +- 3-4 s. It requires quite a bit of power to maintain this. I do around 6-8 intervals.

Nov 18, 2008 - Might be good to mention about hand height, very important in balancing the boat and not crabbing etc. Sometimes i'm a bt confused about how far to pull back as most of the time i pull till the ore is just under my chest but lots of ppl seam to finnish ealier.

Nov 18, 2008 - i like to point out that from this video till the real deal is a heck of a lot of work

Nov 18, 2008 - ya, i agree, but from what i saw(wasnt paying atention) it looked good to me (elbows locked, back straight, lean forward... etc, you know, the uncomfortable stuff. I HOPE TO SEE YOU AT NATIONALS! XD (i hope we go...)

Nov 18, 2008 - I'm no expert all i do is row as a school boy for SBHS in the AAGPS. I average over 10 mins on a concept2 roughly 1:48-1:53 however I am nowhere near the strongest. The world record holder over 2000m seems to be around 5mins 30 meaning he holds it at roughly 1:27. If you are holding it at around 2:00 you are pretty decent for a 14 year old and would probably make our schools year 10 2nd VIII.

Nov 18, 2008 - as one wise rower told dme before....GO AND STAY GO...in other words bate it for dear life and pull harder!one example...french pair 200 olympices..nuff said
rowingledgend Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - at fifteen a friend of mine pulled 17:55 for a 5k...6:41 for a 2k 2:00 mins would not cut it from wher we row...IRELAND
hapul Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - I see what your saying. The thing is though, the french pair at least had adequate technique. I'm talking more about novices whose technique could be seriously flawed - the sort of people that this vid targets
rowingledgend Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - at the end of the day to make it your gonna have to pull hard no matter what!of course technique is the key but if ya can do both its a win win situation!!!

Nov 18, 2008 - Hey, Excellent animation!!! I'm going to begin showing this to my rowers here in the Netherlands. It points out some key-components that are much easier to grasp when made visible, instead of having to rely on having to resort to telling them what you mean.

Nov 18, 2008 - you finish high in your chest in your lay back position. You wana pull in all the way because you get a longer stroke and you can guide your hands pushing them down to release the oar from the water, then away as you feather. You always want to push down before you feather to get every bit of water.

Nov 18, 2008 - I'm 21 now and been rowing since I was eight. This is very helpful information
douggers Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - There's also the risk of crabbing if your blade isn't taken out square.
YuliyaT Says:
