Lots of reasons to do this drill. I like the idea of making the athlete realise the role of the outside arm. It's got a particular job to do and a particular way to do it. Also its good to do the inside arm after this to show what role that plays. Then combine the two for "normal rowing". As I say there are other reasons too, but I always reckon the rower should be conscious of the interplay between the various parts of their body, the oar, water and how these all affect boat movement.

What were you looking for with this drill? Thanks for sharing this.
Try swimming front crawl with your hands closed into fists and then switching back to open palms. You’ll get your answer.
