Chris from USA-thx so much for your video-I’ve been working on a Concept 2 for a little over a year ( 71 with a 8 level spinal fusion 6 years ago); rowing provides me the aerobic and full body workout that I can no longer get on a treadmill or bike riding hills due to knee problems. Since I have incorporated some lifting exercises (squats, deadlifts and seated machine rowing) seems my 30 minute lengths just keep improving; now, with your sage advice on hip flexibility I hope to “crush” my PR of 6612 meters in 30 min.
An excellent video with sowed very important content. I very much agree with your analysis. HOWEVER, I also believe the epidemic of lower back pain is related to the fad for people to pause at the finish. This leaves their weight on their seat. When they do rock over they generally fail to get their weight onto the ischium, because they lack the momentum of the hands going AROUND the back turn, and they sometimes find it too much effort to pull themselves over their hips. As a consequence, they come into the catch with a rounded lower back.
Hi Aram! I m beginner master rower and medical doctor . your great videos have been an important guide in this period. i struggle to solve rounding my low back. I think overreaching to gain more sweep distance cause bending low back too.
Thank you for your feedback Ekin! Yes, over reaching at the catch is a common factor. It is better to have a good body position for direct force transfer from feet to hands than a long reach.
Thank you. You showed us the pelvic Tilt... Did you say that we need to tilt the pelvis to straighten the back before we do these exercises and or row, so that we dont exercise or row with a rounded back? Cheers
This is literally why i ended up with 2 herniated disc - L4-5 and l5-S1. I was anatomically unable to lift my lower back up while im in the boat sitting position. I wish i could've seen this video earlier.
Hi, Aram! Really good suggestions as I attempt to climb out of the deconditioning hole created by Long Covid. Where is the mobilization video you mentioned?? Thanks! 👍
hey! Wonder if you have some advice about shoulder and arm tightness. My issues with rowing are that i have tight hamstrings, so i can't forward fold very well. I'm aware of the back risk so i don't curve it at all - but now i just sit up SUPER straight in the boat (backward bends are good though). And i put my oars in with super tight shoulders, and bent arms. My coach said it looked like I'm kind of riding a horse : ' ) Anyway. Is this arm stuff related to my hamstrings being inflexible? Would love to get your take on this. - cheers from europe

all the best for your attempt
Thanks again Aram, what a smashing vid that touches deeply on how to fix the lower hunched back. 🎉🎉🎉 ❤ from 🇬🇧
Thank you again Bob!

I think people need to know that on a good morning, on the way up, don't lift the shoulders. Push the pelvis through instead. Great, great video!
Thank you for pointing this out Carol!
ive had bruising pain that feels like on my spine in this region. definitely need to be picking up form tips! thanks

Very useful
All these moves are difficult to be done if one have a tight psoas muscle.

You leg press 300 kilograms! That’s huge! Another helpful video. Thank you. Alan
Thank you Frost! (it is 365kg at the moment, just for my ego) 😄

Would it be more effective to stretch your hamstrings after every training session?
