Best Rowing Technique at Midwest Sectionals 2010

[MrFunkygibbons]

lol they row worse than novices

[duwamishrowingclub]

WTF? 

[mikasd9]

this isnt a serious title

[simontjuhh]

They lean back way too much, and that's only making it harder. I know exactly how hard it kan can be, and I totally understand their flawed technique at this point. Nothing will exhaust you more than rowing! The pain you go through, the acking of your muscles, and the intensity of every pull... If you haven't tried it, you will never understand.

[verfugbarkite]

Look likethey are praying at Mecca

[Antetante80]

What a scream! Yes, let's put them in a boat together... Poor sods probably really think they are rowing.

[TheW1shB0ne]

i want to see these people in a boat. that'd be funny

[jazzyazzyD]

I'd laugh if that guy choked himself by hitting his throat...

[weeweeim]

shouldnt this video be flagged? very, very misleading

[morthorse]

0:45

[Selectedmarksman]

Why are there so many videos like this on youtube? Are most rowers/indoor-rowers really elitist assholes? If someone is doing something that will cause themselves injury, give them proper instruction. Don't film them throwing their back out.

[youreaphagatron]

@Selectedmarksman This is an indoor competition, so it wouldn't be proper to instruct them mid-piece, so in the meantime, why not get some laughs out of it?

[BodomChildBreeder]

the title is being a bit sarcastic lol! the guy at the end 0:46... i hate guys like that cos hes a meathead and even with that technique u can tell hes pulling a fair good one!

[onokaoonokao]

those are called two-handed-chain-saw-starts

[kjkolkowski]

Sweet Jesus....

[MaratAmanzholov]

technique is totally incorrect

[habit56]

Everyone one of them sucks and why the fuck are you pausing you fucking pussy!

[habit56]

Everyone one of them sucks

[tigane1]

I'll bet my 155 pound ass can take on 90 percent of those guys there in a 2k, and it's head race season now bitch.

[ronnymatt81]

so many are doing it wrong!!

[NoNamesAvailableHuh]

they all look terrible :P

[siscoekidd]

I think everyone is missing the point of Crossfit...

Their tagline at "Crossfit...Fuck technique...Rip your hands open, bleed on the equipment and start a new trend is transmitted disease".

Hey, everyone has to have a niche!"

[redskater42]

Crossfitters can't erg, I'm sorry. Pausing in between each stroke is more painful then continuous rowing. Not having a straight back doesn't help you either.

[MrMitchell8020]

wow. This will put you out of commission if you follow this technique!

[Medvodlak]

0:22 is lucky that handle has chain otherwise he would KO himself and 0:33 is trying to destroy his spine...

[thedjfromsfo2]

Arms, body, legs...Arms, body, legs

Christ there isnt any rhythm in this, consistency man

[MrDOYLE414]

Is this a joke? Great technics???

How many were injured with all the handle jerking?

Smooooth and fluid.

[rohangiga]

so perdantic about alot of excercises, yet still alot seam to fail at the ergo

[drfitnessnow]

As a former Row instructor...this is exactly why I don't care much for CF...a lot of poor technique and no one seems to care

[BodomChildBreeder]

lmao everyone was fucking funny... big grippers tryign to row.... sad thing is that size probably got them decent splits.. better than mine - yet piss poor technique

[vatech1515]

Wow. These guys probably needed a chiropractic adjustment after that.

[Garrett4prez]

this is not good rowing technique....

[rickgriffin83]

@Garrett4prez when it comes to indoor erg competitions it never is. It's always the person who can heave on it like an idiot the hardest that wins. These people have never been in a shell.
