Hi Aram. One more great analysis. I should say I'm just an "amateur" coach in an average rowing club, but anyway, last week, I was next to a women double presenting this "hands away" issue (moreover slightly differently from bow to stroke). I told them to focus on the finish (very short pause at the tap down, connection, feel the boat). After a short moment of disturbance (likely pushed out of their confort zone) they achieve the drill rather well, and, by the way, I actually had to speed up my boat.... I then asked about their feelings : they told me that at the finish, they clearly heard the waterflow under the boat ! Which I think a rather good conclusion.

Thank you! I have all of our sweep rowers utilizing this style and am trying to get the sculling side of my Club to come around to this very idea.

I strongly disagree! Maybe pausing as a drill is useful - but not as a constant low rate rowing style. Saying that fast hands away stops us from being able to finish the stroke implies that as soon as we go up to race rate and start moving our hands fast that we will no longer be able to finish the stroke. Learn to finish the stroke while also having fast hands is important as thats the rhythm we have at a higher rate.

what a wonderful vid. Im a casual erg rower but took away alot from this

Thank you. Excellent

Sure, the pause and other drills help technique at low steady state. The problem is then getting rid of it at the higher rates and on race day, after making it part of muscle memory for weeks or months. And no, coach saying ‘okay high rates today no pause’ doesn’t make it vanish suddenly.

Hi Aram, Thanks for the great video! 2 questions: 1. Should there be a pause at the catch? 2. I don't have the budget for a unique erg, so I use the Concept2 at the gym. Any tips for translating this to the Concept2 for winter training?

A good reason to stop talking about the oar going through the water. That’s the last thing we want.
