  • It cannot be denied that the erg is a vital part of any rowers training regime... but, because the erg is planted on the floor, does not have oars that are on a radius, connects to a flywheel with a chain, you lose the feel for the boat and the water. And because many rowers spend a lot of time on the erg for strength and endurance training, it is possible to pick up bad habits that you then carry back to the boat.
    In our Technique series, we plan to do detailed videos on each part of the stroke. In this video we focus on 6 of the biggest bad habits picked up on the erg that slow you down when they are carried back into the boat.
    Together with this we will bring you content from all aspects of rowing, including, fitness and training, health and longevity, tips, trick and hacks.

    Totally agree, and we do not let learners on erg till rowing trolley is not understood and performed "good" enough- want some muscle building and strength gaining?- scull an eight on your own, or row an eight two of you, or attach anything that slows the boat down for training.. Thank you for this video :)

      ... and that coming from a man who spends a LOT of time on the erg. Current British Rowing Indoor Lightweight champ over 2k. Thanks Richard

      Keep the feel of the boat and the water in mind when toiling away!

    Great insights, you've just gained a subscriber! On a different note, to minimize the green glare from your screen, you might find it beneficial to position yourself further away from it. Also, consider using a separate light sources directed at the screen and yourself.

      Welcome to the tribe! And thanks for the technical mention on production. I have tried that for my next vid on The Draw, still in production. Looking forward to your feedback.

    Depends on the erg. Biorower is better than RP3 is better than Concept2 (including dynamic or on sliders). Biorower (and some lesser others) have boat like handles.

      Agreed 100%. But if you can afford either then you're not a rowing coach 😇.

    this is great...but when you need to get those big erg test scores...I guess you row the erg like an erg ( which is a shame...but kinda true )

      Hey Andy. Agreed. You can use one to help you train for the other, but at a certain level they are separate disciplines, so I want to make sure as many people understand the difference as possible. There is nothing more disheartening than crushing it on the erg and then being beaten on the water by an athlete that is not as fit or strong as you.

    Recurring error where her right side oars begins to hit water BEFORE it is ready to begin stroke!!!!!!!!!

      Nobody rows perfectly. Her sequencing is close though.

      If something is going to break while on the erg, it's usually something in between the handle and the foot plate.
