Jen, watch this one from classroom lecture and demo by former Georgia Bulldogs OTW coach. If your time or patience are limited, fast fwd to 10:00 will get you to the common postural and sequencing problem on recovery (finish to catch). All about the practice and timing of hip hinge to a strong catc...

Ok I made a video, but don't really want to post it for the world to see- any other options beside YouTube? I also think I see a major flaw of mine- when I am almost to the catch, I cant keep my back straight and i round over. I dont seem to ever get to a good 11:00, so it's more of a 12 to 2 motio...

Ok watched it again... its 12 to 2 even without a completely flat back. Ugh.

4 seconds off of my 1k yesterday- starting to get the hang of that one actually. It's sort of like running a 400m sprint really. I'm a little camera shy but I'll try to get a video this weekend. Thanks again for all the help you guys!

It wasn't a bad day as you didn't give up and HD. Some days are always going to be harder than others and the days when you aren't ready or willing are the sessions that really shape you; it's not too hard to do it on a good day with loads of energy and enthusiasm. That is still a decent time for a...

If the 1k was a test or a race, that doesn't look bad; to pace it is normal, then we can wind it up in the last quarter if we warmed up beforehand. The alternative is called fly and die and happens to us all, possibly once only. Give it its name: experience. Endurance depends mostly on style and mi...

I did ok, and was able to keep a 2 min split for awhile like that. You wrote the above of a 600m piece, in this thread. This is about 200 Watt, so not bad at all at 27 or lower, especially since you noted that it was within a lot of other work. It would mean that your stroke is good (about 7.5 W-mi...

FWIW, watching this video helped me drop my rating (SPM) while doing longer pieces and improved my power per stroke. It did take months of practice to go from what had been my usual 26 to 30 SPM to 20 to 22 SPM now, but I'm glad I put in the effort. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiQ0Mqlk_Lo&list=...

I'm not sure i can even imagine how a person would need to lift their hands over their knees during the recovery? bending legs before arms are fully extended? You'd be surprised. It's the most common erg fault, but from your 600m time/rating and what you say it's not a fault that you suffer from; o...

Ok thanks! That's nice of you guys. I'll try to get something either tomorrow morning if I'm not feeling too stiff, or next weekend. Although there is a guy at cf who is camera happy so maybe I can get him to help during the week. 'Cf thrash' so true.

Is there a way to know how long a stroke length to aim for? I am 5'10. I do actually think my stroke was too short before- only because i wasn't letting my shoulders sort of relax all the way forward at the catch -does that make sense? I saw a couple videos that talked about position at the catch (...

It's also good just to have something to focus on

It is! I would take up parkour, krav maga, and ventriloquism but I’m focused on clearing out the numchuks, k-bells, and seashells

Nerd question- is it watts/spm which would be essentially joules/stroke or is it actually watts /stroke ? You are completely right about the concept: The result of the division will be energy per stroke. Not power per stroke. However, the actual units of the result will be WattMinutes/Stroke, not J...
