RUclips recommend your page and this HAS been the MOST helpful learn to row video for beginners. I watched a couple of your other videos and they are extremely technical for people who already know how to row. Maybe one day I will get there but for now I want to thank you for explaining so clearly what I need to do.
Very helpful video for beginners (like me!). I was finally succesful in "learning" not to bend my knees too early and it has reflected amazingly in my average split and general fitness.
That's great news, Carlos! I'm happy to hear you're achieving better averages and fitness with better rowing technique. A lot of people overlook just how important rowing technique is, but you clearly get it! Keep us posted on your rowing journey. Onward, Luke
This is an awesome explanation, for dummies like me :-) I was doing it all wrong in the recovery phase. I have just realized that the biggest challenge for me is making the swing to 11 o´clock and keeping my back straight. I guess I need to work more on my hip mobility and perhaps do more exercices like "good mornings". Thank you very much!
I am happy to hear you found this video useful for your recovery phase of the stroke. When it comes to achieving that 11 o'clock body position, if you haven't yet checked it out, please see this video: ruclips.net/video/nNT5ngW3b6Y/видео.htmlsi=SM_KHWk_DEsWdG5K . It details how to the achieve the position and equips you with a few drills which can help you actively and dynamically achieve greater range in your tilt forward. And secondarily, this video, which details how best to sit on the rowing machine to facilitate the tilt forward can be helpful as well: ruclips.net/video/nbq11KBDUK4/видео.htmlsi=k23UblagI1JnTC4R . Thanks for taking the time to comment!
@@roweracademy Many thanks to you that you take time to explain the art of rowing to complete beginners! I will definitely follow your chanell. Cheers!
good to see another Luke out there keeping in shape! Very helpful videos. Please shift the camera frame a bit so that we can see your upper body on the full extension. Thanks! keep up the good work.
Luke! Thanks for viewing and taking the time to comment. Interesting about the camera angle... you're suggesting a bit more side on to be able to better see the tilt forward and back? I find the angle I have now works for most videos, but if videos in which I am discussing body angle need a different angle, I can play around with it. Onward. - Luke
@@roweracademy Actually, I think my youtube view was cutoff on the right for some reason. It's never happened before so I assumed it was you. Sorry about that.
@@lukesalsich5473 all good. If something looks off, no matter what the reason, I would rather you bring it to my attention. Thanks for the follow up. Onward - Luke
He also pushes out his arms during the recovery. Maybe this is ok for short distances for getting a higher stroke rate but for long distances, you want your arms to go down. Otherwise the pushing out of arms will put extra strain on your shoulders. This is a clown fiesta as far as YT rowing tutorials are concerned. Much better resources are available on YT. I don't know why RUclips recommended this to me.

Thank you for your comment. You nailed it. This video is "Day 1." It's about helping athletes go from ZERO to taking strokes in a short amount of time, while also helping them avoid the common mistakes novices make. Once you've mastered this video, then we have an ever-growing collection of videos which dive much more deeply into the nuances of the rowing stroke. You will master the concepts in this video and be on to our higher level ones in no time! Keep us posted with your rowing journey. Onward, Luke

Blending the edges, great phrase👍
Thanks, Graham. I was coached by Steve Gladstone in college, so all credit for that phrasing goes to him! - Luke
