YouTube training videos

[Mortie31]

Hi All
I assume most of you are familiar with the wealth of follow along rowing workout videos on YouTube, I’m a relative newbie and find them them useful, and am always looking for new ones, this is one I found a few weeks ago. I follow it twice during a session which gives me an hour UT2 workout, with useful stroke, pacing and technique suggestions along the way, for me it seems to break the monotony of an hours row. There are several of these in the series as well.

Thx, I'll take a look at that.

Not a training video, per-se but an interesting TED talk by Dr Stephen Seiler on training intensities, I know this subject is regularly discussed, but again as a newbie I found this useful in helping me to understand and plan my training.

That one looks good.

I've been rowing live with Eric Murray on Sunday for the past few weeks. Interesting workouts with good banter from Eric. Very enjoyable and he is kind enough to answer comments at the end. These are all then posted on you tube for later viewing. I highly recommend.

Bonus for me since this adds a second workout for me in the evenings on Sunday which couples nicely with my long row in the morning.

Yeah I’ve seen some of his YouTube workouts, there good, the live session times don’t really work for me. When training I really enjoy following along, it adds variety and focus for me. I use the dark horse videos but I do like the Dr Cam Nichols, (rowingwod) videos on youtube, I like his manner and focus on technique and rate change, pacing etc and using benchmark rows to progress from...this is another good one from him

I agree, following along with a video workout keeps me very focused. I find these quite engaging. I'm obviously a mental case since I find the live workout even more enjoyable. It shouldn't really make a difference!

Another one I like is a dark horse rowing 20 minute beginner workout. Don't let the "beginner" fool you. It's a great 20 minutes of 18spm with Pick drills thrown in every 2 minutes. I often use it as a nice warmup and have gotten close to 4500m a few times.

This was very timely for me to see - thanks for sharing.

I get my rower on Wednesday a few days from now. But I have watched all the videos on Dark Horse rowing and Training Tall.
You guys are correct though, there are zillions of good rowing videos on Youtube. I have been practicing on the cheap rower that they have at the gym at my job. I feel that with all these videos I'm a newbie or course, but a newbie that at least understands in his head the proper rowing technique.

Thanks for sharing the links on this page. This is even more for me to follow. Thank you.

A workout that I use a lot is
HIGH Calorie-Burning 40-Minute Row, by Training Tall https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-OjlW6m2y0&t=1s
I think the side view makes it easier for me to sync with than a head-on view. In a head-on view, when we're in sync, when we move forward it's like we will collide. I love that the row is outdoors on a sunny day; so much better than watching somebody row inside a gym. Forty minutes is long enough, but not too long.

I hope you don't mind me adding this in here, it is relevant, but does also seem slightly like self promotion. I have my own RowAlong video channel on YouTube with 60 different workouts and growing, adding at least 1 or 2 each week.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGYcAo ... oPg/videos

Lots of stand-alone workouts, but also a 4 week plan based loosely around the Pete Plan (I contacted Pete to ask permission, which he generously gave). All videos are split into 3 tiers - BOTTOM / MID / TOP and can be swapped in and out of the specific 24 videos I made for the RowAlong plan. (There's a supporting webpage for the plan which describes all of this at http://rowalong.com/rowalong-training-plan/)

My take on this is that I'm not an Alpha coach. I'm not Shane. I'm not a British Rowing coach. I'm not the guy from Training Tall. It's just me. I'm not a Sub-6 guy - I don't shout at you during intros, I fluff my lines, I get confused doing maths mid row - I go off topic and talk about dinner plans too often.

But what I do do is keep you company for the session. I motivate, entertain, and importantly distract you during the workout so it should fly by without you realising (my latest 60 minute workout is getting great comments on that). I do often return to going through stroke technique - because it's not something you only need to think about once. I try my best to frame it differently each time, but I believe 1) That not thinking about technique can let the bad habits set in and 2) That video could be anyone's first viewing of my RowAlong video, and I'd hate to not mention the effect proper technique has on performance, lastability, and protecting against injury.

Think of it like just having someone sitting next to you, giving you pointers, keeping you distracted, and then as long as you follow the pacing plans, improving your performance on the machine. It's not for everyone. The more experienced rowers will probably hate these videos as they're not focused enough - but there are more than enough Alpha Male videos out there to deal with people who want that. There's no need for another channel like that.

Would love to know your thoughts. (Apologies for the earlier videos all being branded PDP instead of RowAlong. A bit of an IP conflict with someone)
