Aram, thank you! "How genius to focus on the wheel," to affect applying his body action to wheel inertia is a perfect mindset to control the bodies unneeded over action. That is the sign of a very effective trainer, to give the student mind pictures to change their power application and protect the weak links in the body. A+ instruction. I'll apply it today into my training. "As the mind goes, so does the body."
Fantastic video. I knew what was the problem but the explanation into the counter-force was so helpful to think about. I've been watching your videos since 1.5 yrs ago and it's been infinitely more helpful than my 2 yrs of being coached at the local club.
Think about leaving your hands in the catch so that you are able to feel the force transfer throughout your body into the foot plates. This will reduce the amount of force you get in your shoulders and allow you to use the stronger muscles- lats, glutes and quads. Just my thoughts as a rower- take them with a bit of skepticism.
Thank you for this video. As someone who's just bought a Concept2 I'm suddenly very aware of how my poor technique wastes power and how I'm exhausted so quickly compared to cycling or swimming.
great video! i was just introduced to the force curve on the C2. i always front load, and cannot figure out how to shift my force curve. i am short (5'3"), so i feel like if i wait a half second after i start my drive to apply more force, i am already finished with my drive (because of my short legs). are there drills i can focus on to correct my force curve? thank you
There are drills. The easiest way to get started on solving this issue is to aim to move your foot stretchers with your upper body swing. In other words: even the last bit of your upper body swing should help you to move your foot stretchers away from you.
@@AramTraining As someone with an engineering degree and some college physics, your explanations about forces 'travel', how they travel back, how 'the weakest link soaks up all the forces' make no sense to me. I have never heard of anyone talking about 'forces' traveling in physics. Waves travel and maybe that's what you mean? Maybe I just don't know the relevant physics but then I'm betting most of the athletes don't either.

Wow. Thank you very much Gary!
Great post Aram, thanks. I've not heard anyone talk about the inertia of the erg wheel before and it makes total sense.
Thank you very much Joe!

Great to hear!

he is loading his effort early with action in the shoulder which I called arm pull instead of upper body loading

what tool do you use to annotate the videos?
You mean drawing lined and arrows etc?
@@AramTraining yes. I saw in another video someone asked and you said epic pen
Aram...
i AM RECEIVING COMMENTS FROM THIS VIDEO, BUT, I NEVER COMMENTED OR HAVE I WATCHED IT! WHAT'S UP?
Please talk to youtube. There is nothing I know or can do about their technical issues.
Correction... Apparently, I watched this a couple of years ago and am now first getting comments!!!
Ok. Glad it makes sense now.
He starts with his early arm pull...
Yes and the back swing opens up early as well.
What a way to complicate something so simple with force arrows, inertia and what not.
The question is: why. If you cannot explain why, your athletes will not understand.

If this is your best opinion, you are entitled to it. I am looking forward to see your video.
@@AnlamK I’m a physics teacher and he explained it really well. He makes it understandable for those without a science/engineering background.
The first movement of the body should be the legs moving the seat backwards. ‘Hang’ off the handles.
