[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have never rowed before, it’s highly unlikely that your form is OK. I have literally never seen someone who was a novice sit down on an erg and row with the correct technique. 95% of people who I see at gyms on ergs are doing it completely wrong and stand out to anyone who has rowed. I’m sorry I don’t want to come across as snobby, but it is a bit presumptuous to just assume you know how to do an entirely new sport. Would you make the same assumptions about swinging a golf club or doing the butterfly?[/quote] This. Most people using the rower at the gym are using it incorrectly. If your rower has resistance, you can get a MUCH harder workout on a lower number, than higher, by pulling faster. When I want a hard workout, I pull fast, return slower, pull fast, return slower. And pull the bar to chest-ish level (or a little below), with your elbows out like you're doing the chicken. [/quote]
