Create a PERFECT force curve on your ROWING machine | SMARTROW

The force curve is the most powerful tool available to rowers. The force curve shows you everything you need to know about your performance and technique.
In this video, we'll explain how the force curve works, and how you can create the perfect force curve on your own rowing machine.
Understanding the principles behind the force curve will help you become a better rower and to get the most out of your rowing machine.
Enjoy! ~ The SmartRow Team

This video has been absolutely perfect in terms of communication of information. Great production

[@hbfs]

Great video, really like the versus approach of showing two force curves side by side!

[@SmartRow]

Thank you for including it in your blog post, Ulf!

[@philgo6576]

thank you for the uselful infos

[@treehugger0105]

Excellent,thanks

[@Rottingboards]

I was doing all 5 wrongs. 😞 I could last very long on the rower. THANKS!!

[@tommyulbaek]

I really appreciate this high quality video.😃Please make more like this - for example a in-depth walkthrough of the SmartRow app.

[@SmartRow]

Thank you Tommy, glad you liked it! We actually have plans for something like that, so stay tuned!

[@taka9466]

Thats a fantastic high quality video! I would instantly pay for a course in that format with such specialists.

[@SmartRow]

Thank you so much, Taka!

Nice video!
I would guess that the values in the chart do not represent what I see in the video. When I do take my time to do long, powerful and proper strokes, I rarely go above 18/20 spm.

So "exploding at the catch" is the same as the "arm pull"?

[@SmartRow]

Hi Merlins Robe, "exploding at the catch" refers to a shape of your force curve where it peaks really quickly (at the catch) and then gradually (almost linearly even) declines. The "arm pull" is the most common error to create this curve but in theory, other mistakes could create a similar curve. Hope this clears things up. Happy rowing!

Give me one

[@alexandre5204]

My force curve makes .. two hills. I just invented an other potential rowing mistake.

[@henners1k92]

This is helpful, and mirrors what I was told at school. The power curve should indeed resemble a female breast - steep rise at the front end, then peaking and falling slightly less sharply at the back end. An asymmetric hill, in other words.

[@ArguZ72]

Please let us weaklings scale the max force curve too 500 or a personal value...
Even better, make it auto scale based on the maximum detected in a workout.
1000 is too much for beginners, 1500 is for athletes only .
Also, i can do a 88cm stroke max, so the max length of 120 is also not really helpful for my curve scaling.

[@SmartRow]

Hi Sascha Haber, thank you for your suggestions. We will keep it in mind for future updates.

[@MrSlipperyfusion]

The arching of his back on "the catch" does not look good.

[@jimjamthebananaman1]

I think his feet are too low which is causing him to reach further forward. Bad posture anyway

[@mattiapaterna]

Perhaps he’s just very tall?

[@bobcannell7603]

We used to deliberately make two hills, like boobies teeheehee. Infuriated coach.

[@st2en]

The total force curve at 1:00 is total rubbish. The individual force curves do not add up. 😂
