    Are you going to try these hacks? What problems are you trying to overcome with your rowing technique?

    • @KraftFitness

      Thanks! Very helpful :-) I have just started with indoor rowing and struggle with pulling too much with the arms, the release of the arms takes too much time and it is not in a straight line (shortest way between A and B). So this hack with the rubber band kills 3 birds with one stone. Another problem of mine is the collapsing of my body, so I will definitely try these hacks. See you on the other side :-)

      The towel under the chin.

    • @Sharon-pb7so
      @Sharon-pb7so 2 года назад

      I will try the towel under the chin and the big rubber band on the rail. I'm afraid to try the big rubber band with the catch because I've recently had my biceps reattached because I ripped it right off the bone I also tore my RC and other things in my shoulder. So I'm trying to be very gentle right now. I'm kind of afraid I'll do it again. **** Tip: go to any physical therapy place and ask to buy a length of a band, different colors denote the resistance of the band. I bet they just give you a free band.

      My forearms always get tired. I feel like I allow my arms to hang and then pull them at the last minute, but they were still sore. In watching you explain the big rubber band on the handle hack, I think I figured out why. The “snap of the arms” is actually a “snap of the shoulder blades”. Is this correct?

  • @johngardner1898
    @johngardner1898 2 года назад +1

    Shane, you are always talking about the goal of "connecting to the machine," which I am working toward. I find that closing my eyes helps me optimize the timing of my arms, back (straight too), and legs. When I'm feeling connected, the time/500 tends to stabilize. So one of the games I play, besides closing my eyes, is to see how long I can keep the exact same time/500 locked in on the PM5.

    This was incredibly helpful. I definitely plan on using the rubber band techniques, as well as the towel technique. I hope these exercises will help with some lower back discomfort I developed since starting a daily row.

    • @paulthorade6977

      I have horrible arthritis in my lower back from getting knocked off a ladder onto a concrete driveway. The doctors said it should have killed me, I only say that to try and get across how bad my back is. However I pay really close attention to how I row (going to do the towel trick) and it actually makes my back feel a lot better! Hope you can stay with it!

    This is really helpful, thank you Shane. Any other tips for lunging at the catch? I also struggle with getting my butt all the way to my heels due to ankle flexibility (or lack thereof).

    Being a heavy guy getting into the proper catch is rough. My knees want to splay or I get hunch back. Going to try these.

    @jacksippel9512 2 года назад +2

    Super easy tips, well delivered. I will try them. I'm curious if the towel drill will lead to back rounding or hunching of the shoulders...your posture seemed a little more forward than usual with the towel.

    • @DarkHorseRowing
      @DarkHorseRowing  2 года назад

      Good question! It's possible, but remember it's to create opposition for someone who is excessively extended so the likelihood of it causing an issue that would stick with bad forward flexion is probably pretty low.

    I started rowing a couple of months ago. Love your channel. Ive always been a huncher and I find that's my biggest issue. If I can keep my back straight it's so much easier to make everything connect correctly. Would a posture brace be worth getting for rowing or is that a bad idea for some reason my noob ass doesn't understand? Lol

    • @DarkHorseRowing
      @DarkHorseRowing  2 года назад +1

      Definitely stay away from a brace. That strength is available to your body but you needs to spend time training the posture so the muscles can turn on and support you.

    • @DarkHorseRowing
      @DarkHorseRowing  2 года назад

      Depends on your abilities. I like to just buy a band pack of different resistance so you have options.

    Hey dude love the vids, been watching a couple of them in the past week and got myself a concept 2 today!
    Tried it with all the basics you showed in your videos but i'm having a small problem.
    The thing is i have quite the belly and when i bend my knees and lean forward i cant go very far because of my gut.
    Should I just stop the motion when its comfortable with my knees in line with my arms or should I open up my knees so i can go farther?
    Tanks man!

    • @DarkHorseRowing
      @DarkHorseRowing  2 года назад +2

      Yes, shorten the stroke with the right mechanics so that as you lose weight you'll already have the right mechanics and won't re-adjust. So yes, keep the knees in line with the arms.
