Rowing Warm Up- Notes from Brian Hartney
Get everyone to row or bike for 2:00 to start
10 slow to fast air squats in between drills
Drills to practice: (read below)
Pair up with someone. One person does the drill, the other does the air squats

1. Row 200m with a pause at the finish for a second or two.
2. 5 strokes legs only + 5 strokes legs plus back + 5 strokes full row
3. Legs only row


-Starting to bend your knees for the recovery before you have pulled the handle all the way to your body. Common when athletes are trying to row really fast.

Drill: Pause at the finish for a second or two, completely locked out. This drill could be done during any Row warmup on every stroke.

-Leaning Back when starting the stroke. The rower should be leaning forward (1 o’clock) until legs are fully extended, then lean back to 11 o’clock.

Drill: 2X:
-5 strokes legs only. Extend legs completely while keeping the 1 o’clock position, which is challenging.
-5 strokes legs plus back (no arms). Staying in order, extend the legs fully, then move the back to 11 o’clock.
-5 strokes full row. Add in the arm pull, but keep everything in order, legs->back->arms

-Shooting the slide: this is when the legs drive the seat back faster than the handle.

Drill: legs only row, maintaining the 1 o’clock body position. Try to have the seat and the handle move at the exact same speed.
