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. 

Today, we worked again on the connection at the catch. Neither slow nor fast – it has two important steps – one is quick an soft, the other one move a heavier mass than your own body. 

This is another one of these basic “row-like-a-pro” sessions, where I slowly started to prepare my athletes for a different approach. It worked well, though I will need to repeat it. 

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.
