Initially, I was sceptical of the length of the videos you put together, which sounds crazy to me considering I am a Master''s student who sits through 3 hour seminars. However, the nature of social media has groomed us to seek streamlined information from digital sources. I am glad I spent the time viewing one of your videos a few weeks ago, because it was information dense and contextually comprehensive. I now tune in to at least one of your videos daily. Thank you for the time and resources you put into these sessions.
Thank you Aram! I’m a novice rower, so my split was 2:48min/500m then after having a pause at the finish sessions, I started to read lower splits ~2:35 min/500m with lower stroke rates! And a 25 sec faster over 1500 meter distance.
I was told once upon a time, that you should never try to move faster than your puddles, the pause after extraction gives you time to balance the boat for the recovery and drive. Just like you say. Cheers.
Also a hello from Germany, near Munic. I'm still learning a lot from your videos - and surprisingly often I get an explanation from you as to why something is right that I previously only had the feeling that it should be right. Just like in this video.
your explanation on why the fast hands away doesn't work as well was already great, if you have more thoughts on the topic though I think it would be great to make a part 2
Hi aram. Would you consider doing a video on the WBT german 8. I always thought their steady state film looked a bit odd, but smooth. Great video as always
I coach to momentarily stop the body at the finish with shoulders behind the hips. But the hands remain in constant motion, moving down and around at the finish at the same speed as the boat ie: as they come into the body. The hands then push forward slowly in harmony with the boat, by pivoting the body forward with the hips, so hands are then forward over the shins. The movement of the shoulders through the vertical must be controlled and in sequence with the speed of the boat. If you stop the hands at the finish, you must increase the speed up the slide, meaning there is a rush into the catch. Any comments appreciated.
The point is not to slide forward but to let it travel unharmed and possibly pulling it a bit or using your body weight to let it travel further bow. The trick lies in the pelvic rotation with the hands away
I row and coach similarly to what you describe. Basically, I keep the hands moving around the finish, but the speed is proportional to the stroke rate.
But when you talking most rowers...they don't have this kind of machine. And when you say square arms..most of us can't do it on a basic rowing machine. Got that one handle bar and that's it. Extend arms and that's it. No nice movement like with this machine. It would be nice to have this kind of rowing machine but all I see is so many moving parts..which is great and it's what you need...but what happens when you gotta repair machine ?Does it have lifetime warranty ?Even that these day means nothing. And I finally saw difference between 20 and 30 strokes. All the others I've seen they don't really show monitor...just talk talk talk. Even though they row...it's not the same as this one. But true they didn't row on this kind of machine. Concept 2...which is what my next aim is because the water rower they bought years ago just isn't cutting it. And one day maybe this kind of machine.

Your feedback is very much appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to write these lines.
After watching this video and applying it in real life by pausing at the finish, my speed improved by 25 seconds! It feels so great! Thanks tons Aram!
Thank you very much for your feedback. Very cool to read that. 25sec is a lot. Over which distance?

Excellent. Very we'll done and thank you once more for your feedback

Thank you very much and hello back to Bavaria

By the way, your videos are wonderful!
Thank you so much!

Hi
It depends on the availability of footage I can use.
I coach to momentarily stop the body at the finish with shoulders behind the hips. But the hands remain in constant motion, moving down and around at the finish at the same speed as the boat ie: as they come into the body.
The hands then push forward slowly in harmony with the boat, by pivoting the body forward with the hips, so hands are then forward over the shins. The movement of the shoulders through the vertical must be controlled and in sequence with the speed of the boat.

Please make another video about why fast hands away isn't recommended.
What specifically needs to be explained?
