Watch this! Perfect rowing technique by the Croatian Sinkovic brothers in the double scull! Fully relaxed , even at high stroke rates. I use this video as a demo for teaching rowing technique.

I agree completely Eric Love. What a fantastic statement! 

Once I discovered the erg and rowing, there was no turning back. 

As for bickering back and forth over the video subject's perfect technique, fill your boots. I'll be on the erg beside you with 90% perfect technique pumping you all day long 😆😆✌️

Champions Club Scaling Notes

RANT
Nothing to rant about

WHAT ABOUT THE MOVEMENTS
Rowing - mono structural movement done at a distance that would need to be paced a bit, but still a little faster than you think

MAIN DECISION
Do I want to dedicate the entire session to rowing or do I want to break it down into smaller parts?

TECHNIQUE SCALE
Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:
15 deadlifts
15 ring rows
25 squats

CONSISTENCY SCALE
As is

INTENSITY SCALE
3 rounds
Row 5 minutes
Rest as needed between

INJURY SCALE
If you can't row, then think about breaking the movement into it's smaller parts like the technique scale

MY STUFF
I did 4 800s with a 1:1 work/rest. 3:50 on the first one, 3:08 on the second, 2:58 on the third, and 2:52 on the forth. I was freezing my pants off

Super helpful video from Krista if you are learning how to effectively use an Erg (rower)!

Replying to Mr. Locatelli- 

Rowing technique, like olympic lifting, swimming, and other human movement, is constantly debated- as it should be. You’ll find different schools of thought with varying degrees of competitive success all over the place; in my opinion the best coaches adapt a few key elements consistently across all body types. 

You are correct in thinking that the legs are primary in the rowing stroke; it is a hip-driven push, not a pull. The body opens and the arm bend as a result of the hip drive- a core to extremity movement- like the olympic lifts. 

In my opinion, the model in this video shows this fluidity perfectly. Her hips initiate the drive, her body opens concurrently with the legs driving down, and her handle quickly and lightly flows to her sternum- and then she mirrors that drive in a relaxed recovery to the catch. Compared to “actual rowers”, the only discrepancy I can see is that she is capable of a perfectly extended spine at full compression, which most folks who only row don’t do (she’s pretty good at overhead squats, too). 

In regards to “catching a crab”, you know as well as the next rower that bladework is the key element there- though I agree that being super grippy into the finish is a good way to have rough bladework. Regardless, she’s not demoing bladework, she is demoing erg technique. 

Like you, I am a rower, avid CrossFitter, and I want to see “good rowing” in CrossFit. To that end, I teach the CrossFit Rowing Erg trainer course, and do my best to spread the good word to those who’ll listen. This video is great in that it hits all the major points of performance that I cover in regards to basic technique.

It's a shame that, regardless of language, people are not capable of providing critique without criticism.  It's great to discuss the pros, cons, and flaws of a video, but it's not great to have to be insulting about it.  Steve walks the line, and Matteo crosses it.  

La tecnica della remata non í¨ corretta. Durante la passata la schiena si apre senza la tenuta dell'addominale e non c'í¨ la fluidití  nel gesto soprattutto nella fase di ripresa e  Scommettiamo che il damper í¨ sopra 8 ?? Non pubblicate video improvvisati.

"It is a human polygraph of physical and mental performance." 

Perfect summation!
