You are like a surgeon when it comes to dissecting the rowing stroke. Working on my Flexibility as a 63-year-old has made a huge difference for me.I have learned and aware of so much From your analysis for the rowing stroke. Much appreciate it
You remind me of my coach! When I first started sculling, I thought that I was pretty good. My coach asked me what I was doing. First of many humility. A complete retraining program commenced. After many hours of video review of my sculling , stupid mistakes and many hours of practice , I learnt not to always muscle the boat, but that proper technique saved me much energy that I could use in the beginning, to increase my stroke rate and for the charge at the finish. My new technique eliminated any pauses, rocking of the boat and the oars literally popped out of the water with little effort at the release. . What use to be a slug fest was now a rowing technique that saved me much energy for when I needled it the winning of many races. Best thing--no more humble pie!
Very helpful tips, I am starting to row in an area called Delta del Rio de La Plata, a set of rivers to the north of Buenos Aires, Argentina. There are several rowing clubs in that area.
I´ve taken onboard the crucial importance of pelvis preparation.; no coach has ever mentioned this and I notice that none of my fellow rowers prepare their pelvis.body weight for the catch as you very well explain here in this video. Makes a huge difference also realising that you should not place body weight on the handles which you get if you try to reach too far - something trainers always seem to ask for. Thank you again Aram.
Much like a dancer, a new person doesn't know where their feet are in relation to the dance step. If you watch new dancers they either take too long a stride, or too short spin. You have to adjust to the DANCE. In our case, rowing the body is moving all over the place when learning a new Dance Move. In our case the slide. Your body must adjust to space, and space is the Release moment from the water to the next Entry which we call a Catch. In between these two parts of the dance move. Damn we can screw it up, especially when we combine other people in a multi person shell. Time, distance, and coaching input can help a great many people overcome the Dance of Death our sport of Rowing.
What pen are you using to draw on the videos? I remember you mentioned the name of it in another video and I dont remember what you said. Could you share that information again? Thanks for all your excellent videos Aram, they are really inspiring!
Would the analogy of an accordion the way one folds at the catch and unfolds is the secret sauce. Should the folding and unfolding be the same granted add the slight back lean at the finish. Just curious what thoughts are. Thanks
By the way, I am a 13 old rower in Hungary and this video helped a lot to improve my technics. So, I would be very happy if you could answer me, why my arms get very tired at the start of a race?
As a coast guard officer who did a number of investigations on deaths from hypothermia and personally almost drowning in 50 degree water (canoeing in Seattle in Nov). You might last only a few minutes before you loose body functions. If I could wear a full dry suit or wet suit and row I might consider rowing but might be uncomfortable

I’m 64 here and feel the same way. Thank you too.

So many of your attention points make sense. Really sound analysis, based on mechanical engineering, human fysiology and rowing experience.

Great!!!
Thanks be for this effective lesson ... it's easy to understand what the correct movement is and how to avoid mistakes!
Grasshopper Rowing!
Thanks for the detailed explanation Aram!
This is so fabulous. Thank you for analysis and helpful fundamentals.
Thanks a bunch for this Aram!

Ok your an expert on rowing, got it.
Thank you
Great video. Thank you!
Very Gold Video 👍 thanks. I would like to learn more about heart rates in the Trainings to get a better Aerobic capacity.
I will put this on my video topic list
What pen are you using to draw on the videos? I remember you mentioned the name of it in another video and I dont remember what you said. Could you share that information again?
Thanks for all your excellent videos Aram, they are really inspiring!
The software is called epic pen, the hardware is an intuous pro
@@AramTraining Thanks for replying with the details so quickly, much appreciated.
Could you share what software you are using to record your screen while you are reviewing the video?
At the moment I am using quicktime
Sir I wanna join your training I wanna be your traine so please tell me how can i do it please reply sir I am from India

At least for me it does not work that way. Nevertheless, this still could be a workable analogy for you
The rowing machine shown In the last few seconds, what’s it called?

It's a great video after a year too
By the way, I am a 13 old rower in Hungary and this video helped a lot to improve my technics. So, I would be very happy if you could answer me, why my arms get very tired at the start of a race?
Probably because you engage your arms too much too early, or possibly because of bad blade pitch.
@@AramTraining Thank you
Thanks
Hitting a rock
Nice mill pond anybody can scull on flat water me and my pals learned to scull on the tideway re the Thames were they run the boat race
Best advice you can give him (and more importantly his coach): DON"T ROW A SINGLE IN THOSE CONDITIONS.
Why? He's near enough to civilization and there's a coach launch right there.

@@blackt0wer I always wonder how quickly my launch could get me out of the water if (when) I go in... since it’s never practiced
Why I was on the tideway in the winter at night at 15 years old and bow steering in the dark at 15
