The Grip !

[[old] jus gray]

With normal rowing the grip is the one with the palms facing down on the handle. <br><br>Well is there and advantages of mixing the way you grip the handle, say with palms up and with palms down?<br><br>Sorry if it`s a silly question and thanks for any replies.

I think if your goal is to be a better rower (speed and endurance) the palms up rowing is a waste of time. As I have heard, row hard and row well.

When I go to the gym and I see some clueless person on the erg "rowing" with the palms up because "my trainer told me it works the biceps this way" . ... I want to slap them. <br><br>Seriously, go do some curls. <br><br>But I digress, no don't erg with the palms up. It's a complete waste of time, and you'll look more than silly.
