Aram, I have watched a lot of your videos, this one is hitting it out of the ball park... Due to Joshua rowing almost picture perfect, you are able to show intricate details that are so important for the timing and sequencing (legs, body, arms) of the power application in relation to boat speed, and why applying power too early is denying you reaching your maximum boat speed while feeling that you are 'working really hard'. Not to mention the relation between boat speed, rhythm, and movement of body mass vs boat mass, brilliant! Highly recommended for anyone Thank you for sharing this with us!
Please do an analysis of the Cambridge men in the recent 2021 Boat Race. I'm no expert, but they were looking mighty impressive technically, especially as their preparation was seriously curtailed by Covid. And they beat an Oxford boat that looked stronger on paper.
Hi Aram, yes Joscha looks good. Two things caught my eye. First, shins are beyond vertical at the catch and the knees are hyper-extending. Humbly suggest that he moves his shoes up one position. Secondly, there's a lot of white water at the catch. Joscha is sculling in his blades. If he was to be a little more patient at the catch and wait till blades are buried before driving that will change the rhythm and will subtly change the timing of the application of power. For me, early opening after the catch is good. Also, I'm wondering if Joscha is suffering from muscle memory from sweep rowing - left shoulder appears in front of the right side.
Hi Aram This video has been more than helpful ! It’s been oarsome !! Thank you so much ! It’s unbelievable the way you can see through the rower and convey so much useful advice on techniques ! Keep them coming please 🤗👍🏼
7:13, you talked about connecting the legs at the catch, and why you should use them less, as well as mentioning a potential video. I would love a video about that!
Don't worry Joscha! You are only 23!! You will hit that 6:10 EASILY in time. Trust me my friend 👌👌👌 JUST be patient 👌 the body grows rapidly even in your 20's. Maybe not on the outside but most certainly on the inside eg lung capacity etc let alone muscle strengthening
Hi Aram, would you happen to have any sources or other resources on the exponential fluid resistance vs. acceleration bit that you discussed right at the ten minute mark? Thank you!
From about 7 minutes on…what about the consideration of the water flowing along the back of the blade providing lift, drawing the boat forward, at the beginning and end of the stroke vs. the middle of the stroke when the back of the blade is generating drag? By using most of his power in the middle of the stroke he has less energy for the end of the stroke (as you clearly show) where fast blades produce more lift from the back of the blade. Is this a valid consideration?
Aram why do the blades need to be able to be squared the entire duration of the stroke when you only square them at the catch in their square coming out as a feather and you keep them flush with the water aerodynamically on the Recovery why do you care whether they are high enough off the water to be squared if you’re not dealing with waves ?
Damn, we're just getting straight master classes on here.

I completely agree. Aram this is definitely one of your best ones thus far. Look forward to many more!
Brilliant video and commentary. Thank you!
Gòd job Aram!

Excellent!!!
Do an analysis on the South African four ! from the final in London 2012.-

Could you do a video on the 2021 boat race?

Not at the moment Aaron. Sorry. If I come across something, I will post it.

What about the horizontal blade angle?
