- Hey! Thanks for checking out the video! In this video, I give my top 3 rowing tips based on what I've seen after coaching thousands of individuals on their specific rowing form. I've seen it all! But there are some things that are more common than others, and that's exactly what I want to cover here!

OMG. Lowered my feet 4 holes. What a game-changer. Who knew. Thanks.
Now YOU know!
Push, swing, pull… NOW DO IT!!!
NOW, DO IT!!
Holy cats. Thanks for these tips. I put them to use, and found that I'm exerting a LOT longer through the stroke. I had to cut my stroke rate down from 26s/min to 20s/min (because I was dying), but my speed went way up ( from 2:30/500m to 2:10/500m). This is going to take some consistent practice, but THANK you for this!
You're on the right track my friend - keep it up!!
Looking good Austin- great advice-
“🚣🏼Push then Swing…”
“🚣🏼Keep hands up at the top of the box”
“🚣🏼”Strap your feet lower”
I row on a high school team and I'm still hearing some of this for the first time, much appreciated man. Great tips for maximum efficiency
Great information in a succinct video! Thank you!
there's a rowing machine in my condo gym that I've never seen anyone use so I decided to read up on how to use it and your channel is absolutely amazing! Just did my first workout on the rowing machine trying my best to keep all your tips in mind and I'm loving it WAY more than just hopping on the stationary bike!
Since I started watching your channel my technique has improved significantly!
Thank you so much!
You are the best! ❤😊
Thanks for the tips. Today for the first time in my life I decided to try this ergo thing at the gym. I loved it.
Thanks! I really appreciate these videos. Rowing has always been my favorite exercise but It took 60 years to finally buy a rower. Today is my first day in this rowing adventure, so I'm going to be spending a lot of time on your UA-cam channel.
two videos in and I’ve learned so much! thank you!
Saving this. Your tips helped me so much.
Great tips. Helped a lot with my back.
The chain tip is a new one on me, and I've been mucking around on my Concept2 for years. Good stuff, many thanks and keep up the good work 😅
Keeping the hands aligned with where it pulls from the rower just blew my mind! 🤯. I have a CITYROW Go and was always perplexed that there was a little snap when pushing out . Appreciate your CITYROW video and this one as well. You’re changing people’s lives over there. Keep it up!
Have no idea how to reach you but I recently got the Aviron Strong and am following your 10 workout beginner course. I finished workout 7 earlier. I've been cursing your existence since #5. Thank you.
Right on my friend!! Keep up the good work! You'll learn to love me more over time, I hope haha
Awesome insight 🎉
Just started rowing a few days ago. The first few days my arms and traps were on fire, now that I’ve implemented your tips, my glutes and legs are 🔥 but I still feel my arms working! Gonna continue using these tips to get better and better with my form. Thanks so much for simplifying it for us beginners!
Great explanation, really well done, thank you ❤ from
Australia
Thanks my friend!
going to try this on my next row tomorrow! If you're still at OTF would love to see more floor work out demos, ideally by the specific name OT uses, so we can gain better form preparing for it :) Thanks for all you do
Great information,
Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great tips and great explanation on the why!
Thanks my friend!
Gosh I’ve learned so much from you. And yes, the app is great! Many thanks Austin 😊
Aw!! Thank you so so much :)
Arm's are looking huge my man!!
Thanks man! Been training hard!
Very helpful
Awesome tips, Austin! Thanks so much for your awesome work! 🚣♀️
I'm nearly at 4 million meters and I am not sure if I'm just getting older or my new home (I swear there is no air in there - so stuffy) but my times have taken a big hit. I will defiantly try that chain engagement thing.
A tip I have if you find your knee/butt hurting on long rows (15k+) and feel a tendon/ muscle cam over - make sure your feet are straight/parallel to each other. I find when my heels point in a bit (duck stance) I must force myself to kick them out and it helps prevent those knee and butt pains.
This was super helpful, actually. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Great advice that I'll start internalizing as cues this season.
Glad to hear it!!
Been Cycling since 2018 with many Century rides. Time for a change. Saw your past videos. Picking up a Hydro Wave Rower. Think it will be like my Zwift on my bike or peloton. Invest in health. Will do these tips once rower comes in. 👍🏻
Good to see you. You convinced me to invest in a concept 2, three years ago and I couldn’t be happier.
I'm so glad you're loving it!
Super helpful. I am enjoin spring training program. Thanks
Glad that you are!
Regarding tip 2, when I hold the handle high, I get a force curve that starts really high and dips below and pushes high again at the hip swing.
If I hold the handle a little low at the start, the leg force is more gradual and I get a force curve that looks more like the ideal bell curve.
I think this depends on whether you doing steady state or a shorter distance sprint. The sprint requires a higher handle at the catch.
Tip #1 was just what I needed. new rower here with a new to me concept 2. My row feels so much better when I do not pull/open up so early and i get the workout in my legs im looking for. push, swing pull!
Glad to hear it helped! You're doing great - keep it up!
I like everything about this rowing machine it’s very quiet I’m a 66 year old man with arthritis and this is very easy so far to use will give another review in a month or 2
Bro i wanna see ya on 2k track. Blood sweat tears all that stuff.❤
Footplates have been on the last hole for years. Interested on your opinion for going "feet out" though. Just started doing that last year after 10+ years strapped in.
#vital😅20 minutes done so fast!! Thanx coach!
THANK YOU. MY. AMIGO. !!

Just bought my first ever rower. Its a Force USA R3. Cant afford the C2 but the R3 is very similar and well built. So Im now 103kg down from 134 and have maintained around 71kg lean mass over the two year weight loss. Im 63 nearly so want to build back some muscle. Was in the army and on a good day 92kg and less than 15% body fat. So I don't want to over do it initially. Want to learn good form first then put in the work. What sort of initial time/distance should I do for the first couple of weeks? Cheers
Have you ever competed on the water in an 8, its cool! Don't lean back so far, hands straight out fast and sharpen your catches and always count in your mind to help nail the focus and catch. These are just quick pro tips from a long time college rower.
nice
If you think of it as pulling you are setting yourself up for sore biceps. That's a less than ideal body cue.
Although this may not instantly click with you, what you are seeking to do with therowing stroke is make use of the anatomy of your back, specifically your lats. The function of the lats is to draw your upper arms back and down.
So try thinking through the stroke with these cues. Push with the legs and let the momentum of the push/drive bring the handle as far as it can and then draw your elbows back past your ribs to bring the handle to the finish. Do that coupled with the body swing. You may notice your shoulder blades drawing together to some degree as you do it.
Give it a go and notice how it feels and how it takes the strain off your biceps.
Sorry to be off point, but in the high/low foot placement of the Concept2 vs. the Waterower, I'd like to know if that problem is better or worse for someone only 5"5" instead of your 6"8?"
does rowing shape your chest muscle also? As a tall guy I have difficulties with my chest muscle. What movement do you recommend sir?
Hey Austin quick question--I have been rowing for the past month with no foot straps on a concept 2. I got this tip from another of your videos on improving form. My question is do you think this is ok or should I not be doing this continuously?
Totally okay to do! You'll just find it hard to do more power-focused sprint workouts with your feet unstrapped!
My low back got crazy tight after a rowing session. Only rowed twice now ......I've discovered that I wasn't dropping my hands down after the full stoke , so I'm going to make that alteration ...
Im aware of pushing with the legs first and then back then arms .... Any other tips ?
🎉I have a 50 Stroke OTF Rowing Challenge. I will use your THREE Tips!👍
- Push, Swing, Pull
- Hands higher
- Foot Plate Height
Thank you!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤩
Man, it blows my mind to see how your channel has grown. I remember watching back in the day, when it was called orange theory, you had the long hair, and like 5,000 subscribers, or perhaps less. I wish you continued success, good Sir!
Hey thanks man that’s really kind of you to say!
👍
I understand what you are saying but what if you have short legs?
I don't know I don't have a very big butt and for some reason the machine I got on today at the gym was super slippery or it was my pants or something I went flying off of it not even kidding landed on my ass on the floor went flying off befire i knew it. Bet you never had a client that your coach that's done that! LOL
Thank you. I just dropped 10 seconds from my 500 meter average time.
Which pants are these?
American Tall athletic joggers
@@trainingtall goddamn they look great but I'm only tall if you'll take 5'11 and a 27" waist.
I went from not rowing to rowing 500m in 2 min in a week and don't do any of these mistakes. I don't know how people could mess this up.
Well, none of these form tips were obvious to me. I don't know why they would be to you? None of it is in any way intuitive. My natural instinct is to just hop on and pull the handle. That's why I'm doing a lot of research up front. I've learned a lot from this channel, else I wouldn't have a clue.
@toby9999 Well then, my young sir, you are the minority of unathletic young men.
But it takes so much mental effort to delay that swing!
THAT'S A FACT!!
he's so cute.
Hi. Via your UA-cam channel I have improved in leaps and bounds. But, there is something I must disagree strongly. Tall individuals need to carry out long strokes. Short individuals, if we want to do competitive rowing must do shorting, quicker strokes. Comparison. You have an adult walking alongside a child. For every step the adult takes, the child takes 2. As a short individual I have tried lengthening my stroke and I can do it, but by doing so, I must keep in mind that the machine is not built inherently for short people. Therefore the idea of lengthening the stroke for greater distance is wrong. Believe you me, I have trialled my theory. So please, whilst doing your next vid, tell individuals of a certain height they need to concentrate on quicker movement or they don’t stand a chance.
I presume that only applies to solo rowing or rowing machines. Wouldn't work with team rowing. The oars would be all over the place and crashing
