In this video I demonstrate various approaches to force application in the rowing stroke. I discuss an initial explosive beginning of the drive and a stroke with a more patient beginning and a surge through to the end of the drive. I also demonstrate my upcoming app Remote Rowing Coach to help visualize this force application through the force curve functionality in the app. There is a lot of value here to help you learn how to create the most speed be that in a boat or on a rowing machine.
The release of Remote Rowing Coach for iOS will at some point in the next three months. Sign up for the newsletter on my website to be notified when the app becomes available.
For my full presentation on using force curves to improve, where I expand upon the topics discussed in the above video, use the link below for more on this subject including the historical backdrop on this useful tool.
