You are 100% correct. An 8+ gives the rowers very little feel for the boat and the water. A small boat such as a single scull is much more responsive and much more useful for demonstrating errors in the rowing cycle.
Quick question: to create that base core tension at the finish, is it better to be inhaling or exhaling? in your example (making yourself tall/stepping in ice water) its an inhale, however in weight training one is advised to exhale during the lift/curl etc. and inhale between the exertions.
Concerning breathing it is better to follow your natural rhythm and try to establish base tension independently. Inhaling is always better to create initial tension also in weight lifting (eg before the actual lift itself), in rowing, however, this tension is a "base" tension, thus omnipresent.
For the body forward I like to tell my athletes to move forward like "they're being pulled by a string attached to the belly button". It helps them understand the difference between rocking the body forward and just getting the shoulders over. I also have them do a lot of RDL's with an emphasis on getting as much stretch in the hamstrings as possible at the bottom of the lift.
If they are pulled at the belly button wouldn’t that bring their belly forward and their shoulders back, doesn’t seem right… I’m trying to make sense of this
Interested in a video on short rowers advantage👍👍
Noted!
Smooth glide on water,
Oars catch, drive, and release true,
Harmony in strokes.
great vid- would love more stuff abt back mobility/strength
Thank you a lot for this video

Note too that the ability to rock over can be limited by lack of hamstring elasticity in the seated position.
Super video very helpfull❤
I am interested on the video about the advantage of having a stronger and mobile back.

Please do a video on long vs short back. Thanks. BRC 🚣🇨🇦🤙🏻
What do you mean by that?
