CORRECT ROWING GUIDE

Over Reaching
INCORRECT
The body stretches too far forward. The shins
may be past vertical. The head and shoulders
tend to drop towards the feet. The body is in a
weak position for the stroke.
SOLUTION
The shins are vertical. The body is pressed up to
the legs. The arms are fully extended and
relaxed, body tilted slightly forward. This position
should feel comfortable.
Rowing with Arms Bent
INCORRECT
The user starts the stroke by pulling with the
arms rather than pushing with the legs.
SOLUTION
The user starts the stroke by pushing the legs
and bracing the back with the arms fully
extended and relaxed.
Bent Wrists
INCORRECT
The user bends their wrists at any time through
the stroke.
SOLUTION
Always row with flat wrists through the entire
stroke.
