As always excellent lesson

Excellent analysis, as always, in layman’s terms of the discrete components symbiotic contribution to the overall gestalt in a one-second or less stroke! 😃

Thanks K2N. Wished I'd seen your video 6 years ago.

It's all about evolving with time... that's the real fun! 6 years from now we will have different nuances and approaches that will be even superior!!! 😊

It appears that proper paddling involves the lower half doing the work dynamically (moving) while the shoulders and arms engage isometrically. Very similar to proper pedaling (cycling) in which the big muscles are powering the stroke while the lower leg/foot engage (mostly) isometrically to translate power to the pedals. Decades ago cyclists used to talk about “ankling” (moving the ankle) in the pedal stroke but it’s clear the lower leg/ankle are mostly engaging isometrically during the power phase. I think some people get confused because they feel their shoulders and arms “engaging” (flexing) but they should be doing it mostly isometrically (flexing but not moving). But of course I could be wrong! 😅

Yes that's the idea!!! It isn't truly isometric with the upper body but it's much closer to that than the dynamic motion of the legs

ive never even thought about the setup like that. I've always been focused on the catch and how important the catch is

@K2NOPS 3 ай бұрын

Every aspect is important but if you don't setup you can't move right. Imagine throwing a ball and only focusing on the power of the throw and not trying to turn and rotate as much as you can ti "wind up" into it!

@@K2NOPS do you have any specific exercises to help continually apply the correct setup? I find when I paddle I can do it for a short duration until my mind wanders and I resort back to old habits. Or is this just a matter of more time on the water until it becomes muscle memory
