Level hands into the front end is crucial for establishing a locked in connection at the front end. We want to guide our hands to a level position in order to make sure every inch of our drive produces power.
Try this LACROSSE BALL trick maximize that connection by keeping the hands level. If you disrupt the lacrosse ball (significantly) you are carrying the hands too low. Keep them level!

Good one. Would some images of the Force Curve from C2 monitor be able to show the good, the bad and the ugly?

Placement of the handle!

Hands and elbows at the back end need work. Flat wrists and elbows at handle height transfer power better into the finish.

I see a lot of people who focus on machine rowing using this style. Personally, I don't like it, but it is so common amongst high performing athletes I assume there is a reason for it.

@@markricketts6957 In my experience, it is simple lack of knowledge or poor coaching. There is a lot to be said for "effort = results" on the rowing machine, and strong people are just that, able to produce strong results on the erg. Regardless, they would be able to produce better results with less effort with proper technique. Do they row like that in the boat? I hope not, especially when sculling. Yikes.

@captainwinters9057 I choose to look at erging and rowing OTW as 2 different sports with some overlap. Most rowers erg, but most ergers don't row. There most be a reason that erg World Records are set using techniques that would see you Captain Nemo in a single.

@@markricketts6957 As a high performance coach I would be very frustrated if my athletes trained like that on the Ergometer. Those habits, due to the high training volume we perform on the C2 in the winter, have a nasty habit of creeping into their otw performance. As all cyclical sports do, it then takes significant time and effort on both my part and that of the athlete to iron out those wrinkles.

@@captainwinters9057 I'm not defending it. I don't like it. But I do see it all the time in videos of athletes training on the erg, right up to Olympic teams.
