Leg to back connection. The power phase of rowing and sculling is a legs and back connection plus an arm draw. One of the simplest ways to improve your power is to get more proficient at linking your leg drive to your back swing. Our podcast this week covered this in detail for you to practice. Key points The power of the legs has to be connected to the oar handle Leg drive must directly move the oar handle If you drive and don’t move the handle = shooting the slide or bum-shoving If you move the handle and don’t move the legs = no power This is often described as the hardest part of the rowing stroke to train because of your gluteal muscle amnesia or lack of glute activation. #rowingtechnique #worldrowing #mastersrowing #rowinglife #rowingbible #rudern #aviron https://www.instagram.com/p/CVKCg8jlnaQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Thank you everybody! I have loved watching the Olympics in the company of such amazing people. We were all sharing memories from past Olympics as well as encouraging athletes in every sport from (almost) every country in the world. I did not mind being woken up to 800 WhatsApp messages every morning and it seemed that whatever hour of the day or night I was watching there was someone alongside me also having a great time. #sportfan #tokyoolympics https://www.instagram.com/p/CSVjwRnlZra/?utm_medium=tumblr

The quality of #rowing #motivational quotes is different nowadays. The second photo is “Go hard or go to West End” a rival club! Underneath someone wrote ‘I already did”! Love the graffiti dialogue. Somehow the motivation is different from when I was young..... https://www.instagram.com/p/CC9HHFkFt7J/?igshid=l38wk9enmwx2
