You're NOT connected at the front end! Feel the hang when rowing.

We want to feel the connection through the body when rowing so we can maximize our drive. If your body is not prepped, and you feel like you are rowing through air in those first few inches of the drive, be conscious of how connected you feel at the front end.
Rowing is about LENGTH and POWER. We want to maximize our length at the catch!
Check out the ERG FIRST, ROW SECOND ONLINE COURSE for start to finish guidance on maximizing the erg and ROWING FAST!

I’m 5’9” with a 30” inseam, I need every every bit of pull length I can find. I watch taller rowers able to reach the catch further forward and use more of the slide rail with longer legs. I’ll bet some taller rowers get a full foot longer drive stroke than me. My shorter stature really makes me work hard for substandard split times. I’m tempted to cheat by rolling forward as far as possible and using my toes to start the drive, less power but more length?

I need to improve at the catch- i believe my arms are fully extended- and am starting to feel it in my lats- gotta keep working on it..

New video we just posted might help with this! Think about your grip! Loose grip and relaxed shoulders. Thanks for watching!
