This breakdown should have far more views. As a beginning rower, this is the clearest explanation of the underlying mechanics I’ve seen so far. The kettlebell example was such a Light On moment. Other much bigger channels really struggle to articulate these points so clearly.
Welcome to rowing! Great to hear you found your way into rowing are that you are finding value in this video. Be sure to check out the other videos, detailing different aspects of the rowing stroke. So much of rowing success is about proper mechanics. And those mechanics are found through drilling. Understanding which drills to do and why is key. best of luck as you press forward in your rowing journey! Onward, Luke
I am happy to hear you found the video useful. Thanks for tuning in, and please know I am updating content frequently. All rowing, all the time. Onward - Luke
So happy that we found your channel! My husband and I have just began our rowing journey and finding reliable AND relatable tutorials is difficult. Your teaching style is simple and digestible enough for two old turtles to catch and retain!! Looking forward to more videos! Is it possible for you to share a training video for beginners to follow along with to improve form and technique? Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills!
It makes me very happy to hear that you and your husband are finding the videos useful and practical. I will keep creating as much content as I can for you in the near future. You bring up an interesting idea about a row-along training video. let me give some thought on how best to execute it. And stay tuned, you just might see it soon! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment and suggestion. I appreciate it - Luke
Sometimes, we like to have a little fun with it. I am happy to know you found the tutorial helpful. Best of luck in your rowing journey! Onward. - Luke
Luke, watched your video 1 yr later, happened by accident to see it, your demonstration is excellent and will produce the best results I can achieve. I see the benefits of each part of the stroke from start to finish. Each I will call feature breakdown of the stroke has a benefit built in, thank you for taking the time to do the video. My old Cocept 1 Rower will produce the results you are coaching all of us to benefit from.
It would really help to know the df used and power from just legs, then legs torso then full stroke you are achieving to know whether we are getting it right.. I dont think I am getting enough from my legs but how do I know that? my form is good.
Interesting suggestion! I will give some thought on how best to create a video which captures how the power breaks down between legs, legs/body, and legs/body/arms. A lot of people suggest a 60% legs, 30% body, and 10% arms breakdown. But I wonder how accurate that really is, versus it simply being an estimation for demonstration sake. I will also work on a drag factor video soon, as that is important when it comes really honing in on the best fan setting for your rowing. I really appreciate you tuning in watching the videos. And thank you for the suggestions! Onward. - Luke
Not to split hairs... but even though you cannot push the legs in a fixed seat boat, if you swing your body before you initiate squeezing the handle to the body with the arms, you can still get some great hang ahead of the pulling motion. A split second difference, but activating the body swing slightly ahead of the arm activation will make fixed seat rowing even more dynamic and efficient.

@@roweracademy I agree, but that’s still not “push” and that was my point

Super helpful. Good demonstration of what the "hang" in rowing means. Thanks, Luke!

Funny, rowing in most gym settings is definitely a pull and definitely an arm (and back) exercise. Terminology is funny.
I row a fixed seat boat, it’s pulling then
