I injured my lower back when I was in the Fire Service and using the RowErg is the only thing that alleviates the pain. It's a lifesaver for me. 🤗

Thanks - your video is clear, concise and full of gems. Sitting tall and hingeing from the hips don’t come naturally to a lifelong sloucher. I have to stand and (slowly) unfold my back every 25-30 minutes. But I am inspired to focus on form and progression. ‘Butt back’ and engaging the lats are lower-hanging fruit.

So glad it was helpful! Yes, paying attention the best form you can manage and building slowly over time will help hugely. 💪

So I’ve been hinging, with a straight back, but feel muscles in my lower back working. I thought it was just because I was using them

Yes very likely! Have you tried the push instead? How does it feel now?

I’m new to rowing. What exercises, lifts, stretches will build my ability to row more efficiently?

@UCanRow2 6 ай бұрын

Since the rowing stroke is 60 percent legs, you want to put most of your focus there to start. Squats, deadlifts, cleans are great, as are hinging movements like kettlebell swings. That's a great place to start!
