One thing though: When coming up, your legs should stay completely flat until you hands reach your toes, then brings your legs up then drive back while using all legs. Using your arms too early will fatigue you quickly.
@KyleeChristopher Dont try to correct some one who is much more accomplished, experienced, and wiser than yourself. John Dunn is U.S. National team medalist, and im guessing he knows just a bit more about rowing than you do.
@OOTman00 You can ask anyone who rows that this is not the best way. Don't assume I'm not experienced. I've been rowing for Yale for 3 years, I consider rowing my life. Any rower will confirm that his legs come up too soon. I'm not saying he's unexperienced. I know who John Dunn is, I've actually seen and met him twice. So please don't assume I know nothing when you clearly do not.
@KyleeChristopher look, im not going to argue with you. But I never said that he was doing it right, and i never said that you were inexperienced. I just thought you were one of those people who correct people for the sake of being annoying. One more thing, dont assume that i know nothing about rowing, when you dont even know me. that is all
I enjoy your passion about rowing and you look fit. You talk about the right muscle groups. However, your style is not what should be taught to competitive rowers. The fellow below is happy to get some advice because he is a total beginner.
Mr. Dunn, thanks for doing this video. I just received my C2 this week and am completely new to rowing. I am a distance runner so I know how important proper form is to efficiency so I am trying to learn as much as I can about the proper rowing technique. I have watched a lot of videos including the technique videos on C2's website but I really appreciate the way you show and explain the 'how' and more importantly the 'why' of the rowing motion.
i wish i could train with you

This is the same style we would teach to a competitive rower or a novice, they don't need to be different.
