Finally! A video that actually explains the mechanic in detail, I’ve been trying to learn from other KZread videos for awhile but none of them go into the same detail as you. Those other channels can learn a thing or two from this video alone!

Cheers, Jay! I'm glad it's helpful for you. Happy hinging.

watched several of these vids - this helps / makes most sense to me

Excellent instruction and great content for "beginners." And I say "beginners because most rowers I see, even pros, are sacrificing their health and power by not getting their fundamental movement patterns down. Thanks brutha.

Right on! Glad it's helpful for you.

Another terrific video. Thanks

Zero bs, great video!

Thank you!

This is a very helpful video. Thank you!

Excellent details and helpful progressions! In the context of rowing on a concept2 erg specifically, what is the problem with opening up with the back too quickly? I’ve noticed when my hamstrings are smoked I’ll open up with back too quickly myself. 1:33

Hi -- Early opening reduces effective stroke length, shortening your stroke and decreasing performance. It also loads the back/upper body more, which can increase risk of overuse injury and just makes the problem worse: The upper body keeps getting stronger (more stroke attention), the lower body keeps getting weaker (less stroke attention). For improving performance and reducing risk of injury, we want longer effective stroke length that distributes force over many muscles, not shorter strokes that reduce emphasis to just a few muscles.

@@RowingStronger thanks so much. Makes complete sense! Appreciate the thoughtful reply

Probably been doing it wrong for 70 years must try to do better before it is too late.

Learn a correct kettlebell swing and you got it made.

For sure. I find most success with teaching the coordination (PVC pipe/unloaded movement), then the strength (RDL variations), then adding that dynamic/speed component with the KB swing.
