Rowing Technique: Learn Single Scull basics like a pro (full video analysis of beginners footage)

It is rare that I analyse beginners footage. However, Janel is doing a great job with her body motion. Before sculling technique issues become a bad habit, it is time to get rid of them and replacing them with efficient technique. In this video, I explain how.

Hi Aran I started rowing late in life 4 years ago I am now 82 and my rowing has improved greatly through watching a lot of your videos I feel it is time I gave you a big thanks for your help 👍👍👍😀

thank you, Aram! i absolutely see what you are saying about fully extending my arms...i always struggle with tight shoulders, and trying to figure out how to keep them relaxed. thanks again for the great analysis. 😊

Great video Aram! Hands finishing level, drop, pause, followed by a 75% arm reach in the recovery (to allow for soft shoulders). Then fully straighten as they come up for the catch. Bingo. I'll be working on this weekend. Will be magic...I hope. Congrats to the new rower. She's got game. Cheers from Canada.

Great analysis ! Thank you Aram ! I like the fact that you brought these points into focus ; the relaxed arm extension and clearing of the blades is a good point for me as a beginner !

As a very new rower, this is the sort or information I can use. I haven’t been in a single but look forward to it in the spring. Thank you Aram.

Good explaining

I tend to give unsolicited advice to the newbies at my club. Not because I'm an a-hole, but because I hate to see people have a bad rowing experience. The relaxed shoulders seems to be a big problem and I've found showing people how to use their lats by pointing their elbows down is pretty effective. Never had a coach but your vids are super helpful, Aram. The reaching for a bag of potato chips trick is my favourite. Thank you!

Hi, in which video is the potato chips trick explained? Thxs

Nice analysis and good advices. I would like to add an explanation what a "real" washout is. If you have still force at the blades and start to release them ... I think that is a washout. When your stroke is over (no force anymore) and than you release the blades. I think that is what aram explained as "normal washout" Correct me if I am wrong

Hey Aram, I wondered whether lightweights should use less lean back at the finish than heavyweights, because they have less mass to accelerate the boat. According to this assumption, they'd ideally have a shorter stroke but could probably row higher frequencies... What are your thoughts on this?

@AramTraining Жыл бұрын

My current opinion (= current point of probably being wrong) is that lighter athletes habe to adhere to similar rules than heavier ones. It has more to do with body proportions than with weight regarding how much lean back is beneficial.
