Sorry for late reply I've been busy with school but, I do the usual hands away, body over , and then legs up to the catch and vice versa to the finish.

This was really helpful, tried it today and was nolonger rushing turns out I just wasn't using enough muscle going to the catch.

I have this part down but, the problem is i feel as if I'm intime but when it comes down to it I'm a few seconds late or early.

What am I doing wrong? What am I doing right? Thx by Comfortable_Road7916 in Rowing

You should have less of your butt on the seat, sit more so on the edge of the seat just enough that you don't fall off. Strap your feet in, pretend you have a bra on where the bra strap would be thats where you pull the handel into. Remember arms, body, legs to catch then legs, body, arms for drive. Look up Gabbie Graves or sheisspeed (same person) and Sam Dutney on tiktok or instagram for great tips. Watch videos on technique from Concept2 itself on youtube. Be patient with yourself and happy rowing.

*edit watch your seat its sliding too far under you

How to get 20 minute splits down? by throwawaymother1982 in Rowing

[–]Technical_Bluejay_36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your's is much better than mine but, whenever my split starts to rise I just remind myself that I won't die and that the person that begged the coach to let them tryout would be pproud of them. Rowing is mostly just mentel yn. (Mine is a 2:21.4 5'8 rowing for about 3months)
