All I have ever heard about toes it too make sure you have good balance and that is why jumpies help with rowing on the water. If you have good balance in your toes, it allows you to set the boat with you feet. That's what I was told at the Charles River Rowing Camp.

First of all, I never said anything I said was fact. I said it was from my own personal experience what I thought. I never said I was absolutely right. You need to chill out. I don't own an erg personally, but I use the ergs at our boathouse. I am an on water rower, and I do erg with my damper at a ...

As far as I know, if the damper is lower, it's easier to get your splits down, but harder to maintain it. The higher the damper goes, It gets harder to get your splits down, but once it's there, it's much easier to maintain. The higher the damper and drag factor, the higher the resistance, thus the...

Our varsity 4 bucket rigs our boat. The two ports row a 6:22 and a 6:44 on their 2k's. The two starboards are in the 7:00's. Because of this, the boat will turn to the starboard side during races. The coxswain then has to adjust which costs time and offsets the boat. In order to prevent this , the b...

There's four things that motivate me on an erg. I have them wirtten on a rubberband that I wear all day everyday. 1. Team - I row for my school and I know that by not giving 100% every time I erg, I'm letting them down. It they're going to go balls to the wall, I should, too. 2. Stanton - my school'...

I posted this in another topic, but as the video went on, you seemed to open up with your back more and more. Your legs are much stronger than your back, and the more you use your back instead of your legs, you lose power. As for other things, you do pull in slightly high, as was previously mentione...
