I have been following Pete's beginner program fr the last 5 weeks. I notice that I started getting should pain that persists for several days after I row long rows. It is not muscle pain. Looking at online shoulder anatomy pictures it appears the pain is near the supraspinatus tendon on both shoulde...

Thank you all for the feedback!! I rowed 7K last night and followed many of the suggestions: You could hinge forward more at the hips on the recovery. This might require dropping the footstretchers down one hole. Your hip hinge is too limited so try and emphasise the forward hinge at the catch (star...

I am a 42-year-old beginner. I’ve logged about 220K so far. Started after running injury but fell in love and plan on continuing instead of running. I am 71” and 183 lbs. I have lots of flexibility and mobility issues which likely affects my stroke. (i.e. as you can see from my catch my heels are up...

Am I allowed to attach a video to a post to show what I am discussing? If yes, what is the best way to do it?
Thanks

Hi all, I'm sure there is something incorrect with my technique, but I can’t stop thinking there is a machine problem: Starting with the second drive onward I’m getting minimal tension on the chain until the point in the stroke where I hip swing. If I just leg drive 2-3 times after a full stroke I w...
