ankles cracking

when I erg my ankles crack at the finish. The ankle cracking always happens when I go up a set of stairs, so I reckon that the action of straightening my foot causes the tendons in the ankles to slip over the bone causing the cracking sound

Ankles crack

When ever I extend my feet, especially my right foot, my ankle cracks, it seems to come from the front of the ankle(the part that is just under the skin when facing forward). Recently, I have discovered that this happens when I erg, only on my right foot. It doesnt hurt, it is just annoying. Any sug...

elbow pain when erging

Ok so if i pull hard with my arms straight it I get a sharp pain in my elbow, it feels like it comes from the tendon. However, if i have my arms bent, there is no pain. It is almost like my elbows get over extended. The problem with rowing with my arms bent is that I lose connection. Any suggestions?

upper body fatigue

I imagine that your problem is that you are not connecting with your legs. Or you break your arms too soon, which forces the upper body to pull instead of the legs.
