The Official 2024 Rowing Form Checklist (PERFECT STROKE!)

I am a 74 yr old beginner. I know I should start with the correct form to cement good habits and get the best results. Thank you for your clear and concise information, without the bull!

I'm here because I just got my rower. I have done many exercises in the past and find that when things get tough, technique is often lost. I'm going to start slow and focus only on technique. Besides, these old muscles haven't worked out in a very, very long time. Thanks!

Awesome.

LOVE this! Straight to the point! Will definitely watch other videos. Very clear. Thanks!!

Love the demo. Only omission was the breathing techniques. Is the exhale on the pull stroke or the return stroke?. My favourite cardio exercise at 66 years. Thanks

Thanks for the video, jumped back on a rower as I haven’t used one for almost 20 years. I figured out a lot of these things but it was really helpful to see it put together.

Hi guys quick question should your heel be raised or flat when the legs are bent

This guy has a LOT of helpful information!

Can you give me a lesson? I have been rowing for 2 months and think I am doing something wrong

Rowing is a beast of a workout. It uses all major muscle groups and looks deceptively easy.😏 Thanks for the great vid! I'll be able to refine my form.

th7anks bro it re7ally me7ans 7a lot

Awesome video. Just bought a concept 2 and was looking for something that easily explained proper form.

Question for anyone, where are you supposed to feel it most? I feel it in my traps, upper back, biceps mostly. I had decent form already I think, but afew of these adjustments might make it more of a full body workout for me

It's brilliant already. Why redo it.

This was so useful and detailed, thank you very much, I was making a lot of mistakes

Point 5 OK for machine but in the boat, hands need to be raised to take the catch.

I am a runner and for the life of me. I just keep getting softer. Granted, I eat one meal a day, but I would expect to lose more than what I have. I have a friend who swears by the air bike, and I don’t have access to a nearby and I don’t want to buy a third gym membership the gyms I currently go to Youfit and planet fitness do have this type of bike, thank you for show me the correct form. I will give it a try to replace the treadmill.

Brand new rower. This seems overwhelming to hit all 7 points correctly.

I've been using this for 3ish weeks. I love it. It works great and no noise at this time. I just row and watch tv.

best rowing technique on the internet

I thought number three was too pull the oars out of the water

Brilliant. This is how an instruction video should be made. No bullshit back story. Clear and brief. Thank you! E

Can't u just right into it

Thanks!

I think I’m getting the form down but I am feeling the most tension in my lower neck. Is anyone else feeling this? I may be doing something wrong and not aware of it so just wondering

Brilliant video - improved my rowing by about 30% immediately. Most helpful exercise video I’ve seen. Thanks

Thanks, very helpful

Awesome. Thanks man!

Downloaded. This is the most informative video I have found for rowing.

Very informative thank you! 👏🏼

My struggle is my lowerback

!!!

I had no idea rowing was such a beast of a workout until I watched Fittest on Netflix and saw this cross fitters blasting away on the tower as part of the competition. Thanks for this video because this will help a lot on my way to achieving the full health benefits of proper rowing technique

Outstanding video man!!

I’ve been using an app to learn rowing and for guided workouts. It’s helped so much! But this helped me too! I always thought the goal was for the handle to remain parallel for the whole time. I’d even see the trainer drop his and wonder why they told us to keep it even. I think I misunderstood. It’s crazy to see how wrong people use this machine so I’m happy to be hopefully learning the correct way. Thanks!

Thank you!

This was great! I just started using my row machine and had no clue as how to properly use it. You got straight to it and made it very easy for me to understand.
Thank you!

Thanks for the vid me and my bro just got this machine for our home gym needs to know the proper technique

Thanks so much for not fiddle farting around the whole topic. Great video.

Thanks

Just got a row machine and something didn’t feel right. After watching this I realized I had T. rex arms and the handle was too high. Thank you!

👏🏻👏🏻

Good stuff. I seem to be doing well. The point about keeping the handle and chain lower on the recovery to take stress off your shoulders has added another ten minutes of endurance and upped my spm from 29 to 32. Question? I seem to feel fatigued though. Should I eat some carbs prior to rowing? I can eek out thirty five to forty minutes, but it's rough. I would like to progress to an hour, at 34 to 36 spm. Thanks!

I love the excitement in your face when you're rowing.

What about breathing pattern?

Appreciate this greatly!

Holy moly I’ve got a lot to improve on
