MY PAIR ROWING TECHNIQUE 2

- It has been a couple of months since I spoke about what I was focusing on on the water for my rowing technique. It has not changed too drastically from the last time but there has been quite a shift in how I feel I have been rowing. Enjoy!

Hi Cam, Thanks for the video the other day on the pair rowing/selection. It was great! Thanks for this one as well. I find it very interesting to hear the thought process of high level rowers in regards to how they approach deficiencies in their stroke (both technical and physical). I hope that doesn't come across as an insult, it is not intended as one. It is cool to see people who are amazingly fast still looking for ways to squeeze out even more speed
No insult taken here! Thanks for the support!! #yamsquad
It would be interesting to see your power curve on the erg; when you take your "eights stroke" v when you take your "pairs stroke"
I agree!! Great idea! #yamsquad
As far as the technique goes for the catch, it might be helpful to add a mental note of what position your body is in when you know the blade needs to be squared/fully buried. So for instance if you know that when your heels are coming off the footplate you need to have your blade squared you can anticipate that point in the stroke in and make sure you're preempting that point in it. You can also put zip ties on the boat up past the rigger to know that you should have your blade squared/buried when you get your hands that far past the rigger.
I'm sure you've heard it before but just food for thought.
Just having that reminder can really help, especially when deep in the pain cave!
Hi Cameron. To me it looks a bit tentative and uncomfortable. The boat is clearly running very well and there is no need to use any rudder. But it lacks confidence and crisp blade work -- sorry. It looks like you need to have more confidence in each other so that you can really swing out around the rigger towards the catch and then really 'welly' it through the water. I quite agree about the stroke being finish-oriented.
No need to be sorry. It's what I touched upon in the video! The confidence is a big part of what I'm working on, the patience being the as a result of being more confident to hang "out there"
Perhaps try some very low rate, very firm. Rating 16 and pulling flat out. But make it look easy and beat other crews doing higher rates. That will build your confidence as a pair.
Thanks for the suggestion. I don't think the confidence is in speed rather than being comfortable though!
Well what I am getting at is that if you can develop the confidence to row flat out at low rates, really letting the boat run, well balanced, and with long strokes - then that will translate into better race rowing.
I see what you are saying but I have to disagree. Rowing flat out at low rates can almost be detrimental to better race pace rowing as it is not the same - at least that's how I feel anyway.
Split the stroke in diffenrent parts. If you start rowing, start with "arms only". If that come together, add your overbody. If that comes together, add 1/4 of the rails. If that come together, add another 1/4 of the rails .... . If it doesn't come together - fallback ... .Use one session where you just need to do relaxing or easy or moderate training. If you do one day only arms, overbody and 1/4 - no bad thing - you will recognize a huge improvement the next day! Keep on going Cam :)
Thank you!! We usually use the pick drill in the warm ups to bring us together too!
Feet out in a II- :-0 Brave man.
For me, learnings from the pair are transferable to the eight. The sport continues to move forward, not sure that we can get away with smashing it at the catch any more---too much check maybe?
Ed sculls a Nelo? What does he think of it?
Ed Grisedale do you have a lot of sculling experience?
Thanks for the advice. I dithered for nearly a year before switching to a Nelo, first race was Reading the other day. Only sculled in calm conditions so far, but will see how we go in the rough stuff.
drive looks good, slowest sweep boat so it's a press than smash along as an eight might as you've got lots of time to sit and hang. Trick is matching it and working together at the same time in the power phase. Carrying hands a bit lower in the recovery and slow the last couple turns into the front end as you square can help that end. Row a pair well and any boat after that is easy 👍
Exactly that Hamish! Thank you! #yamsquad

Me casually watching 2 guys trying to flip a pair
No boats were harmed in the filming of this video 😂
You need to tap down at the finish not at the catch.
His finish height is fine, but the recovery should end with his hands lower, I agree. Overly tapping down at the finish doesn't really do a whole lot except slow the hand speed unnecessarily and introduce inefficient movement
I know tapping down some more at the finish would give more space but I think the biggest thing is having that space, or at least continuing down the recovery wihh level hands, rather than having unnecessary movements at the catch
I've got a 5 month golden retriever who's half (40lbs/18kg) Yam's size! Haha
Yam is going to be a very big boy!
You seem to be skimming the water at the catch (you hit the blade against the water before the cat h) and it seems as though you miss the catch. Make sure to get back splash even on off strokes and to keep the lock in at the catch.
Hey, try to take your time on the back ( to give mor speed) and you have to be more relax is not a 8 boat
Loved the intro #yam
#yamsquad
My two cents.. carry your hands a bit lower on the recovery? You're dipping your hands a fraction when you square to avoid clipping the water, and squaring quite late as well. Both will slow your catch down
That's just what I found I needed to do in my pair, if you've got specific reasons for doing otherwise I'd love to hear an alternative angle
Starboard stroked or mirrored recording? I’ve been working on getting a pair going love the challenge
Starboard stroked 👍
Was that a coxed pair, if not why was there a rudder
Bob Johnson Pairs have a rudder and either the stroke seat or bow seat has it connected to their right foot so they can steer the boat
How is the balance on the boat? It looks good but i have never been on a pair and I hear that balance is hard to get
The pair can be very difficult to balance you're right! Really have to work together!
Next year I will be able to row pair (I'm 12)
What the h is breaded egg toast??
A closely guarded secret! A breakfast delicacy! #yamsquad
What is your height and weight?
Currently around 100kg and 205cm
Bro you are teapoting
I don't know what that means
