Today we worked on replicating the Watts of higher stroke rate pieces at lower stroke rates, partly with feet out and focus on clean suspension. A tricky yet very effective session.
Today, we worked on feet out higher rate pieces. Why so?At higher rates, body weight distribution issues amplify. This means, that you are more likely to lean back too much and thus become ineffective. This session is designed to help you get a feeling for how it should feel. Please do not row all your

Faster strokes with feet out. This helps to get a feeling of better legs-to-upper-body control at the finish.

If your handle height is optimised at the catch, then your lat extension during the drive is much easier. And usually, the handle height should be higher than you think. In this session we determine what the right height is and where exactly the energy of the resistance should enter your core.
A lot of rowers bend their arms at the catch, lift their shoulders, pivot their upper bodies, just to find connection. Rather than “forcing” that connection, you have to let it “occur”. This session focuses on that, and it will not be the last one.
