I would say this is one of the best videos to go by on rowing finish. I have struggled with tennis elbow for ages now. I had a lower finish but it is very hard to keep a flat wrist with a lower finish. I have since done two sessions with a higher finish up to around chest height and found loads less forearm fatigue. What people need to remember is that you guys are well over 6 feet tall as are most rowers so the form will be slightly different. ie dont need to go as low at the catch if shorter and less shrug action at the finish - if that makes sense.

@michaellynn9763 3 года назад

For exactly the reasons you describe - greater stroke length, I’d always brought the handle up high, and in all honestly, the thought of early fatigue never occurred to me. I now make a conscious effort to adapt my form depending on how much I’ve got left in the tank!! Cheers mate :)

Definitely feel the burn in the forearms after my last session (have only started this week, so may be that I'm using muscles I didn't know I had). Going to have to check my finish position and elbows, for sure!

@primaltone 2 года назад

Great video man! I've been rowing for a year, so neither an expert nor beginner. I do know when I shrug my shoulders I can feel the burn (quite uncomfortable actually) so I consciously attempt to drop them and it helps a bunch. I can't do the tucked in version either as I'm on the short side at 5'6". Your recommendation is what works for me but I can see how everyone may land on a different preference.

@turbokeene 3 месяца назад

Excellent Austin. I know this vid is 4 years old, but it’s still pertinent. I’ve tried all three (plus more) variations over the years and have settled with the Bond/Murray approach. Like you suggest, 50/50 the fatigue over both of the smaller muscle groups wins the effort war. 💪

@JS-yt5le 5 лет назад

Perfect 100% agree and I found out the hard way. Trying not to "chicken wing" and keeping the arms too close made me feel my elbow too much. It started to make popping sounds even when not rowing. And then there was the burn from the friction of the arms against the body. So arms up. Maybe a bit too much because the shoulders started hurting. Right in the middle is where I am now and nothing hurts. Tightening the lats a bit already at the beginning of the pull also helped tremendously. I think you mentioned it in a previous video. Thank you for all you helpful videos!!!

@trainingtall 5 лет назад

Sounds like it has been quite the learning experience! Glad to hear things are working out well - and thank you for the support!

@toomuch9762 2 года назад

It’s the same when benching. The worst position for shoulders is elbows flared out. You want them at around 45 degrees not 90

My shoulders and elbows are more up when I row. I think cause you got me to concentrate on keeping the handle high. From an early video. And look at this BEAST breaking out the BRAINS!! Now I’m gonna be all self conscious 🤣🤣🤣

@trainingtall 5 лет назад

Haha I try to keep things as analytical as possible, you know? My best advice: instead of keeping the handle high, keep the handle level!

@john_mckinney 3 года назад

The “hypothenuse” effect is in fact even larger because you’re leaning back so it’s more then a 90 degrees triangle which means that the higher you bringing the handle the larger the stroke length

@fredsmit3481 Год назад

I'm also new to rowing and I have greatly benefited from your videos. I can't thank you enough for all of your help. I hurt my shoulders with bad swim technique which caused impingement and it took me about a year to fully recover after I fixed my technique. I want to make sure I don't impinge my shoulder tendons when I row and I think the "middle ground" position will reduce the chances of shoulder impingement. The key to fixing my swim stroke was to keep my elbows in the front of my plane. I think you keep your elbows in your front play, but just to make sure, do you ever let your elbows go past the front plane?

@Nomads_Rowing 5 лет назад

It’s horses for courses as the saying used to go People going for ergo times only and not rowing generally tend to pull high but to help muscle memory I draw below to the ribs with your moderate elbow height to keep the tap down as part of the action but when learning to sweep oar, you were encouraged to keep your elbows low but not tucked into your body to more reflect the action in the boat. On that high note, I must get out more often!! 😎

@GordonLF 5 лет назад

Although I row with my elbows at mid level, sometimes I do a few intervals with the elbows high or low, precisely for working the muscles at different angles and avoiding fatigue. Also it´s not entirely true that smaller muscles will fatigue sooner than bigger muscles. It all depends on load. Legs perform more than 60% of the effort while rowing but they are the bigger guys involved. The opposite is true for your arms (and actually it´s not only the arms that make the final pull, much of the back is involved too).

@janet6962 2 месяца назад

Rowing with my elbows high seems to be when I don't think about it and then I tend tol lean back too much. Ideally, I like to bring my elbows midway and behind my back because I get a great squeeze in my lats but it is work for me! The low way is way to hard on my wrists. I'm small, about 5"4' and 107 lbs.

@ryand34561 4 года назад

Good video. I saw Henrik doing his face pulls and thought it was weird, but you can't argue with his results. I'm pretty close to your 'arms in tight' example (slightly more out), but my elbows are back further, making my wrists less bent? I don't get any forearm fatigue and I'm able to recruit my lats. The handle touches at the bottom of my sternum, using the OTF Waterrower. I'm 6'5", and I find this is BY FAR my strongest position. Wooooo "Us" row challenge tomorrow!

@trainingtall 4 года назад

Hey Ryan! Love the insight- and I agree... those top level guys ALL row differently haha, but their fitness is through the roof! I think there is nothing wrong with your technique - how'd your row go? I got 4426!

@ryand34561 4 года назад

@@trainingtall Had a goal of 4200m, had a race plan and wanted to hold 1:35\36 and pick up pace at the end. Executed the plan and hit 4293m. My legs felt better than my last 2000m row, so I may have had a little more in me, but it's hard to plan a row that long when I've only ever done rowing at OTF and they rarely do anything that long (I only get to do 2G at my location). My last 2000m, I planned to hold 1:31 and speed up for the last 500m and aimed for 6:00min mark, but couldn't quite do it an ended with 6:04. The last 2000m benchmark was a while ago, so looking forward to the next one and seeing how I've improved.

@ryand34561 4 года назад

BTW, if you don't already have a "race plan" video for the 2000m row, you should do one before the next benchmark. I follow Cam Nichol's "2k row" video from RowingWOD channel and it has helped me a lot. The mental stability you get from a solid plan really helps! Most people at OTF, I feel, just go in and an bang out 2000m without a plan at all, and die a slow terrible death at the 1200m mark, which is not helping them! Also, I really want to help people with their form - I've been told that OTF coaches can only help with form so many times before they're not allowed to mention it anymore (unless the persons asks for help). There are a few guys at my OTF that could really benefit from getting rid of some inefficiencies.

@bernadetrodakowski3786 3 года назад

Recently started rowing - love the feel in my lats. Thought I was doing great until the hubs caught me on video and I saw I had T-rex arms at the finish. Yikes! Tried a more elbows out approach, but felt like I was trying to flap wings like a bird.

As always Austin very useful info on rowing technique. Perhaps you can add a brief video focused on the grip. Although I’m very conscious of a loose grip, I´ve recently developed pain in my left hand (non dominant) which may be due to arthritis. I’m 60 but I´ve never had issues with arthritis in my hands therefore I’m wondering if somehow I´ve developed this from my grip. Oh well not going to stop me from getting on the ERG early tomorrow !!

@rodhurst5831 5 лет назад

I'm 57, have grip arthritic pain as well, just try and keep the your grip up high (keep as much pressure off the finger ends as possible) and tight, I use gloves sometimes but not sure if they help or not.

@luciengrondin5802 5 лет назад

Shouldn't the chain remain as horizontal as possible all the time? I mean the driving length matters but only if you can apply a strong colinear force along it. In the end the mechanical work is force times displacement. I'm not sure the body is good at applying vertical force in a rowing position. Also, please consider commenting on the animation that the PM5 monitor displays in "other options -> help -> How to row". The form shown there looks very optimal to me and I use it as a goal.

@21April853BC 4 года назад

I’m rowing 5 days a week so far for 30 min sessions. I went from 10, 15, and adding 5 minutes to each session. I’m a rower now; that’s my mental thought. I need to program my muscles. I need to perform 500m by 1.48min and then 2000m by 9.45min. I’m 140lbs, and if I lose anymore weight I’ll have to do the 2000m faster. The 500m takes priority. My best is 470m at 1.48min. I need to have the damper set at 5 also. I’m resting for two days and then I’ll test again.

@annetorjusen1015 5 лет назад

Very interesting and very informative, although very erg specific. But then, rowing on an erg and in a boat are two very different experiences. I do have a question though. Do any of these styles compliment a frontloaded or backloaded stroke? I.e. do the rowers row one way or the other because it is advantageous for the type of stroke they prefer? Honestly, I don't even know if frontloading or backloading is such an issue on an erg or if that is more a boat-rowing issue. I learnt to row one style and that's what I always stuck to, not too many questions asked (quick catch, lower stroke rate, but heavy emphasis on the finish, really sending the boat)...

@trainingtall 5 лет назад

Very very erg specific for sure! Hope you're doing well, Anne! :) It seems that crews are coached to row one specific way - dictated specifically by the coach for the crew/boat. Because if everyone was rowing in a way that just "worked for them", there would be no way to get the boat to move as quickly as if they were all rowing the same style, you know?

@annetorjusen1015 5 лет назад

@@trainingtall Training Tall Definitely, you might get away with that on the erg, never in a crew. But then I never realized there were so many "erg styles". I prefer erging as close as possible to what I do in a boat though (so no bended wrists, no handle above the chest), just to not get bad habits.

Hello. Do you think it may not be good to have an inverted grip of the hands (with the palm up) ...? it would simulate the movement that in Karate-Do is called Hikite.

@TheHpsauce37 3 года назад

I think in general there is no right or wrong here. Depends very much on your make up and technique. If you have good drive and hip swing then probably more likely to have narrow elbows. If like me you've don't quite get everything out of the swing then you probably utilise the arms more also to gain most out of the stroke. I think this can be reflected and seen in the rowing curve on the monitor. I find mine seems to be very even with an equal amount of length on the before and after the peak (hope that makes sense) where I think those with more leg/hip dominance have have a longer decline after the peak. Not sure if I've explained that very well.

I row for the fitness alone, not for being faster in a boat or being competitive in the sport. I would like to know the ultimate way to row from a fitness level alone, not necessary the fastest most competitive way. For example, I used to row quite upright and not working my abs but then I saw a clip you did and I started to stop at ~2'o'clock exaggerating from the optimal way to do it. My abs are a wreck two days later which tells me that it was a good workout for them and that is something I need to train.

Hi Training Tall, I'm noticing that I am rowing with more power coming from my right side than my left, and that I'm really struggling to find balance and be able to evenly distribute power across my body. (I also have the same issue doing resistance training, I'm training my right side much more and my left is just supporting). Do you have any advice to remedy this as no matter how hard I try to consciously row with both sides I just can't seem to manage, thanks :)

As an ex swimmer I tend to flare my elbows more simply because my shoulders are well developed, but I understand that form isn't ideal for everyone.

I"ve watched your videos for over a year and try to emulate your techniques, very informative videos, I have a question, Is it possible that one leg would be shorter than the other? and would work more than the other on the pushing ,or is it a matter of strength.

@trainingtall 5 лет назад

Thank you, Anji! If one leg is slightly shorter than another, you would definitely feel the difference! I am not entirely sure how to work around this issue but I will look into it!

@patchMKII 5 лет назад

My spine is slightly curved, resulting in my left leg appearing very slightly shorter than the right. In fact both are the same length but the difference is caused by spinal curvature. As a result, my right leg pushes a bit more than the left and you can see a slight difference in my leg muscles.

i have both....curve and a structural leg difference.....thigh bone......am noticing it more the fitter and more flexible i get....not the same strength and/or an uneveness in push off/action

Nice Analysis! I also believe to remember that this extreme high style of Stephansen is something quite erg specific. (some possible advantage on the erg but not necesseray in the boat). For boat/water purposes only, i think you are quite right, that it's a function of how much you lean back in the finish: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MnVpWP5BjIw.html Stephansens leanback in this example is quite exaggerated and indeed he ends up with the ellbows high. For taller heavyweights you can look to the canadian 8+: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IUhKzLsOvMs.html Massive lean-back=high ellbows.

Why not change while rowing?

@@trainingtall ok, but if you row for fitness, it would make sense to switch.

What if someone has skinny legs, say he uses a wheelchair(so he doesn't have to walk), and his arms are extrordinary big + good genetics for arms, and hes going to be this skinny dude with hudge arms, how would that work like, I bet his arms would be then stronger by legs and back together xD Wonder if that's even possible, but I mean I guess to a degree.

@trainingtall 4 года назад

HAHA YES I GUESS IN THAT SCENARIO YOU ARE RIGHT!! haha
