Seems like all the OG athletes and coaches understand this is a great workout and CrossFit in a nutshell. Simple, eloquent, physically and mentally challenging. Good job Dave 👍

Thank you I needed to hear this! Definitely have more questions if you still check these videos 😊😊

Thanks for the great advice and instruction. Dark Horse videos are great and easy to decipher. I watched the stroke rate vid about three to four weeks ago and was clueless (new to rowing). I learned that confidence/patience plays a huge part of mastering you stroke rate for given distances.

Good advice. Wanted to show you something. I showed you the link to Brian McCabe's sub 5:40 2K His finish technique is called the "Ferryman's Finish". THis is when you pull your body into the handle as you pull your arms in to finish the drive. I just happened to be watching another record breaking video , Phil Clapp's 500m record and he is using the same Ferryman's Finish. As long as you do not lose connection with your feet when you do it, pulling your body forward out of bow before you finish the drive seems to have benefits ( higher stroke rate) on an erg and in a boat. Play around with it and see what you think. One way to learn it is to row without strapping your feet in. Keep up your great videos. I refer you to all my masters.

Your videos are great man. Thanks for all the tips

I’m loving the rowing! Wish I would have joined in years ago. Better late than never though

Very helpful. Thank you!

Quality info

Just started rowing at the gym, eventually I will be good at it.

If I need to do my fastest 500 meter row, do I have to stroke faster or more?

Does anyone know the difference between stroke and count? I have a rower that has count on the monitor.

Would it not be true though that stroke rate affects the amount of force required to move at the same speed/pace. Thus if you are striving to row a certain pace, if you use a higher stroke rate less force per stroke is required than when compared to the same pace at a lower stroke rate? In my limited experience there is the factor of muscle endurance and also cardiovascular fitness either which can be limiting in certain situations. Stroke rate can be used to alter the interplay between these factors.

That moustache though :) nice vid 👍🏼
