excellent rowing technique PLEASE RATE THIS VIDEO

[MrNohab]

Eric reminds me my time 30 some years ago...! I have same body type and rowing style as he has. Unfortunately I don't have any video just few medals. His rowing is really good, You can find always something to fail, you can't be perfect, that is the reason why we do trainings and practices! Thank you for the video and keep up the good job Eric!! Somebody from Peter Kolbe era

they are wrong

belle technique !

[reefbreak69]

there are many different ways to move a single scull. Look at any olympic final and they all scull very differently. This is a very german style i.e. the opening up early..in crews boats as long as everyone is doing the same thing it matters far less. This is not the standard technique for many nations but it is how a lot of germans row also how a lot of athletes with greater elbow to shoulder strength compared % wise to knee to hip ratio (i.e. upper body strength)

his body opens up too early during the drive

[backsplasher]

Super sculling video, I could watch Eric all day!! How I miss rowing when it is as good as this!!

[samosith]

Hear that, guys? You splash and you WILL die. No exceptions.

すげー

[JamesIgoe]

To the people that think there is only one rowing style, you might consider the different strokes proposed Gringko, Adams, Rosenberg, et al.

On a vu mieux

mais c'est deja tres bien :)

[NFLDColin]

wouldnt call this great rowing maybe ok rowing ur opening up wayy to soon

[X360James]

Tell the rower if you know him, he needs to concentrate on taking the stroke in three parts, drive with the legs, then power it with the body then arms in, keep spinning the hands dont pause at the catch, make sure he keeps his back straight throughout the stroke. The more straight lines your body is in the stronger it is, and tell him to stretch his hamstrings, a lot

[limegreenspeed]

@X360James It's clear you think you know what you're talking about, but you don't. You should go busy yourself with your own advice, the single sculler in the video is a U23 world Champion. Europeans, and in particular the Germans out scull any American or Canadian crew. Now go educate yourself so you don't give terrible advice.

thx for this great video!

[thepablitooful]

hijo el primer video la cabeza esta mal la preparacion de la pala tbm sakale eso y te Creo ;)

[theSculler]

@rdominadomina The problem is, you just can't keep your head on a straight horizontal line if you "catch with the back" as they all purposedly do in this video. This said, the first sculler (by far the best here) is nicely horizontal after the initial lifting (and also sends the boat away very nicely). PS if you like, search for the Athens 2004 finals and look at Juri Jaanson or the French 2x for examples of what you want to do

[rdominadomina]

It would be nice if you didn't display the wrong technique for what to do with your head, that just confuses me while I'm rowing and makes me want to do what you showed us not to! 

[theSculler]

Sorry for calling you in Xeno, Entschuldigung... it's just that Mueller 1996 is my absolute model for sculling ;^) together with Lange 1989 and Jaanson 2004. All people who know how to hang on the leg drive and keep the pull horizontal, although Lange's use of the back has probably been the inspiration for the *mis*use so many Germans seem to do today (IMHO of course)

[ironoarsman]

Wenn der Titel "excellent rowing technique" ist... das oeffnet die Tuere fuer Kommentare. There is a lack of body preparation and therefore the timing of blade entry is off. The rowers are prematurely using their upper body. There is a lack of relaxation. Heck, I just saw that "theSculler" mentioned me below. Look I don't want to come across harsh with my comments but I am growing tired of people thinking that Tufte or Synek, or Hacker have great technique, they are just fast, hard working.

[bonyserg]

Excellente vidéo; la prise de vue, les rameurs (superbes), le montage, les commentaires.... vraiment j'apprécie beaucoup !

[theSculler]

Well, if you call your videos "excellent rowing technique" then what should Xeno Mueller call his? :^) PS all these kids, except the first one who is good, are way too stiff on their backs and shoulders and (therefore) pull low at the finish. The one with the Carl Douglas really never catches. Have a look, e.g., at Adrien Hardy

[thebrainiac1]

back opens too early on nearly all the scullers in this vid, some need to sit up taller at the catch.

[CaptainKells]

that guy eric at 1:46 has such great form, such a feel for the water
