Rowing

What makes rowing popular with elite athletes and CrossFitters is exactly what many in the general fitness population dislike about it: your weaknesses cannot be hidden on the rowing machine. It is a human polygraph of physical and mental performance. Stroke for stroke, you are provided with feedback that both reveals any weak spots and very visibly demonstrates the relationship between performance and proper technique.  —Angela Hart, "Rowing Technique," CFJ

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 😆😆✌️

5,664 meters/125 pushups -I did this with 25 pushups unbroken at the start of each 5m round because I am worse at pushups than I am at rowing. Otherwise rx’d.


Pushups got tough and slowed way down but I managed to get on the rower by :33 each round. Nice pump/very tough.

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

using gym clock, which means the rower clock starts a few seconds behind. However, I also counted post-buzzer drift which evens things out.

I was dreading this one, still tired from recent workouts and runs. Well, it was hard, but not "I'll never do CrossFit again" hard. Actually felt good at the end, despite shaking arms.

8 km relaxed, hilly run in the morning.

Rowing too much/too hard stains my lower/middle back for some reason. Very frustrating, and keeps me from rowing very often despite it being such a good exercise.

1338

6,747m total


Wasn't sure what I would be able to do (no data from 2017), so I set a goal of 1200m per round. Clearly exceeded that - new bench mark and good feedback on technique.

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.


Regards,


Jonathan Burns

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.

Google translates, "The technique of paddling is not correct. During the past the back opens without holding the abdomen and there is no fluidity in the gesture especially in the recovery phase and We bet that the damper is above 8 ?? Do not publish improvised videos."

As a former rower who also is an avid cross fitter it pains me to see an official video on the crossfit site of someone doing the erg 100% wrong. The erg is a leg exercise not a chest exercise and pulling a oar into your chest gets you literally thrown out of the boat due to “catching a crab.” Please take a video of a trained rower using the erg it will save a lot of folks injuries.

The Olympic silver medalist in the video above is pulling to her chest when on the C2 rower.
