[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The leg drive is primarily quads, a little glutes - so if thinking squeeze helps you activate them, great. Once the leg drive is done, you lean back and only when that’s done do you engage the arms and upper back. Yes, squeeze the lats at that point. -Former competitive rower[/quote] I think it’s less about squeezing the lats and more about the fact that if you can feel it in your lats, it indicates proper form. The lats are supposed to provide connection between your legs and the handle.[/quote] Huh. Multiple coaches referenced squeezing the lats - which is how you engage them - and how you finish the stroke. I don’t think it’s incorrect to tell someone new to think about squeezing the lats, if you’re trying to teach them proper technique. Different turns of phrase resonate with different people, but if you’re not pulling with your lats towards the end of the drive, you’re not rowing correctly.[/quote]
