6:17 you touch on it a little here. My question is how are you returning to the catch position without straps? Especially if you need to return quickly? Are you using a downward force on your heels as you bend the knees? My rower is fairly level, so I’m trying to understand the magic of this technique. Thanks
To return to the catch, it takes core strength to go from leaning slightly back to forward at body prep. Hitting body prep is the important part because once you're there you pull yourself up with your hamstrings instead of the straps. Feet out rowing will be very hard at anything above 24spm, so I recommend staying below that. If you need to row above 24 spm, then I'd do feet out rowing as a warm up drill and do the work above 24 spm with straps. That's more for safety than anything. At high enough rates you're going to use the straps somewhat. What's important to learn is not to rely on them.
@@AliciaRClark Thanks for taking the time to reply! I’m new to rowing and have really been enjoying it. I realize this is an advanced technique, but became interested in it because another you tuber suggested relying on the straps is bad for your hips. Thinking about it more, he’s probably referring to driving too hard then using the straps to keep you from flying back or slow your momentum. I hadn’t really depended on them that way too much, but I have been depending on the straps to pull me back in recovery. Which hopefully isn’t as bad. It just made me concerned as a new rower that I’m hurting myself. Since everything is getting worked and is sore! I’m glad I found your video, it was very helpful. Your reply is also insightful. I took time to slowly practice/ focus on my technique and see how the core comes into play during recovery and believe I now get it. Thanks again for your time.
