[JousterinJudge]

ABOOT THE ROWING STROKE 

[redfowlham]

I've been having a bit of back pain after using my rowing machine recently, but after watching this vid it's clear that my technique is all wrong. I'll definitely be trying this method instead!

Nice vid from a very cute lady. She can teach me rowing exercises anytime she likes! ;)

[cjxmc]

I'm 13 and forced to do 5000 m in under 19 mins

[Slotzan]

@cjxmc okay there hercules.

[danlitsfu]

@cjxmc That's not that hard. For my steady state workout I do 10k in 43minutes and i'm 14.

[matu260]

Her smile is so beautiful, she is really a beautiful woman.

I have just discovered a new hobby rowing on the Concept 2 in the gym.You can do different challenges and put yourself for the world ranking for your age and weight.500m 4th,1000m 7th,4mins rowing 2nd,2000m 7th,5000m 8th and 6000m 4th in the world for 50-59 and under 75 kg.I am happy with that but can improve.You take care I hope you are in the best of health.I am Phillip Cameron

[IFknHateUTube]

Hey now, take it easy. If she's an olympian she's probably pumped more steroids into her body than barry bonds. Of course she's going to be a little masculine.

[matthewtuckey]

I see Bruce Campbell has had a sex change.

[dresdenp]

Such a hottie who clearly is not great on camera, which makes her doubly adorable. *sigh* rowers...

[PuertoRicanator]

Good tech but you drop your hands drop too much

[leenguini]

anyone know the best row machine to get at a fair price?

[Kespecial1]

Stupid Olympians, what a bunch of tools!

[Kespecial1]

@ex6arch6angel6 maybe you have seen one at the gym, and you want to understand the technique!?!? Or maybe it is in a cross-fit workout, and one wanted to know how to do it!?!? Why would someone jump on Youtube and get all judgmental?

[mcderby1]

Nice video. You are in pretty good shape bro. Thanks.

[shmoo792]

I just came across a great blog about the rowing, here it is:

[monkeyboy85]

Definately one of the better expert village 'experts' rowing seems so simple but good to know the correct technique.

[justskate19]

Man, some of you pricks are hilarious...

[randomjoe333333]

looks like a 14 year old guy

[Peterodinya]

ive watched it twice, I still think its a 16 year old boy

[arbrighton]

@8djenne8 She is using the machine perfectly correctly. That is proper rowing technique. With proper core strength, warm up, and good technique, she should not be injured. From a qualified rowing coach

[MyAccountBitch]

@8djenne8 she? ahah. I totally thought that was a 17 year old boy.....

[parthabanerjee1234]

She is pretty and she has beautiful eyes. I dont why people criticize others without reason.

[UNSTABLE111]

Very helpful.Il be using this machine again with proper technique this time

[MrGrevy]

My God, I think she's canadian...

[TheDentist09]

I love the "aboUt"

[9lash]

just finshed doing 1 hour 12 mins on my rowing machine i feel like ive been in a freaking massive crash, but i was doing it too fast now i see that you can do it slow and still get the same muscle exersise i could have done atleast 2 and half hours

[rosieelf]

@9lash going faster doesn't mean you're working harder. The sign of a good rower is that they can keep the same split at a lower rate.

[dobbo996]

@9lash I erg three mornings a week. 8000m over 40 minutes at 21 spm. It's a sensible workout which helps my stamina on the water (I also scull twice a week).

[111NoOne111]

is that a male or female??

[zeeKxxL]

@111NoOne111 I'm not sure but I think he has more facial hair than me.

[dackenisking]

thanks a lot :) you've helped me, hope i can get my weight down a bit.. but that's up to me ;)

Be gone 10 kg! :P

[IfoundNemo12]

@dackenisking haha same here, i went on one for the first today.. rather fun actually xD

I never though exercise was fun, ive been resisting joining to the gym for ages which is why im so heavy but now i actually think ill enjoy exercising.. goodbye to the flab :D

[jellybeangravy]

Good luck :)

[dobbo996]

There's nothing wrong with her stroke. Why are there so many idiots on youtube?

[Cd3]

@dobbo996 her?

[perselases]

i thought that was a guy at first

[moist888]

He's cute

[JubasAndrzej]

@moist888 big lol

[wheresthelove123]

shes terrible

[kuringmundo]

thats a dude

[mrjost55]

hahahah she looks like a guy with earings

[pumpkinsam]

it might not have got me to the olympics, i'm too young anyway i'm nearly 19. i just noticed a slight flaw with her technique take it easy it's only a youtube clip.

[clebor56]

i agree, she ain't holding the knees down, getting the arms out straight or getting full compression up the slide..

[Hauffmanjaisk]

@clebor56 She's getting perfect 90 degrees right before the catch, what you talking about :p

[bremner006]

she ????? Ohh myy Goddd

[IDStatic]

Same, i was also thinking that it was a men in the 20 seconds of the clip (before she show her boobs)

[bremner006]

Im still not convinced

[pumpkinsam]

i'm a rower with 5 years experience, she does bend her arms slightly too early

[shauryagoel]

did your five years experience get u to the olymics?

[aleterra]

I am sorry, she's an Olympic rower, and you are?

[MrRobertEdmondson]

Who am I? I'm a guy who doesn't approach the C2 ergometer with chanting and incense. I'm a guy who recognizes that the C2 ergometer is a machine with serious design flaws which result in bio-mechanical defects in the user's stroke. Finally, I'm a guy who can show the rowing community (including Olympic athletes) how those design flaws can be eliminated.

[MrRobertEdmondson]

To see how to turn the old family sedan (the Concept 2 ergometer) into a sports car, check out "The Canadian Slidewinder" on YouTube

[TwinkleSlappy]

sheman

[JUNKGEE83]

i'm considering buying one of these. any recommendations? i've got a "Powerline Motive Combination Row Machine 5000" in mind.

[mitchtickler]

Cool... Good all over workout...

[JUNKGEE83]

can I finish back workouts with the rowmachine or would that be to much?

[jogaserbia]

Why do people with minimal intellect always feel the urge to put other people down? Btw, I think she is cute.

[Neilram2001]

@jogaserbia because she looks like a middle school boy... lol...

[arminask]

@jogaserbia Serbian women are known to have thick eyebrows . . . just saying

[briantexts]

@jogaserbia

I'll be honest. I thought she was a boy.

[kopilatrower]

@briantexts thank god i am not the only one

[anaboheme]

@jogaserbia I also think she's cute, but i think she would be a really HOT guy, I have mix feelings towards her.

[ziccy8]

@jogaserbia the feeble minded will be extinct soon enough my friend, soon enough

[angelkittyrose]

What does this work mainly?

[MadsHald]

Cardio ;)

[thepineapple1]

does anyone know what would happen if a heavier guy would be rowing on a machine that has a smaller max user weight?say 10kg above the max weight

[AlicetheCamel7]

I love rowing and my rowing machine :)

[TheCarDude1]

wait a minute 1 for drive 2 for recovery

then how the hell do the races take pace at 40 strokes per minutes and above

[Pezdetz666]

When you exercise, You need to slow down your workout to maximize the amount of time your muscles are strained. She's deliberately doing it slowly to get a better workout. Obviously in a competition, this would be much faster.

[77math86]

@Pezdetz666

Obviously because she's in a video tutorial !

[currannaaach]

@Pezdetz666

Going slow does not make it any better as a workout.

She isn't actually going that slow. At about 17 spm (or at least, that's what it looks like) she's doing an average stroke rate for women's crew for a long distance race (5-10k).

[bumeye]

@currannaaach She's doing 19 spm to be exact. That's just fine for low intensity. But it's NOT average for women's crew on long distance. That should be more like 30 spm.

[ImeldaDavies]

How any guys do you know called Ann Marie lol.

[MarkAlanRoss]

I thought it was over the shins.

[vita63640]

I find her attractive. And she just helped me learn how to do this exercise correctly :) Thank you!!

[antoine0796]

Terrible....

[SundiMundi]

Some of the people below me are so immature. Such a shame the future of the world is based off of majority, because it seems this world has more morons than naught. Good video. Excellent explanation of an underused effective exercise.

[Blitzbok]

Agreed. On the plus side... their ignorance is here for all to see. Great vid too, needed that badly.

[videofunfun]

thats a dude i think.

[krtkrtk]

its a girl i thought that too

[trishtifa]

guy silly

[bangmeister]

she looks like a dude

[iamageless]

lol ur right!

[yoytuvieja]

it a girl or a boy??????????????????????

[topaz989]

That was very helpful. I've just started visiting the rowing machine at our gym and have always wondered what the proper form was for it.
