100% of our POWER goes thru the FEET. Try this drill to optimize our drive!

Connection through our feet is one of the most important components to producing true power when rowing. If we are not connected at the footboard, we will not be able to drive the flywheel. Feet out rowing can quickly expose this!
To help understand the connection, try single leg rowing. Start with one leg down, and one foot unstrapped on the footboard. Work the progression from arms and body, to half slide, to full slide. Keep the full foot connected from catch to finish!
Check out the ERG FIRST, ROW SECOND ONLINE COURSE for start to finish guidance on maximizing the erg and ROWING FAST!

Unstrapped feet and low SPM has helped me really increase power!

Nice video, Kevin. You very much describe my warm-up drill, but I admit, I'd never really worried about my toes popping-up at the finish, instead focusing on the connection through the heels at the drive. But now I know ...

What is your max wattage @ full blast? I'm still proud of my 550 watts @ 150lb body weight. But I'm more proud of a sustained 175 watts for 10 minutes. Love that concept machine.
