Thank you for your comment!

Please understand that this video was created specific to motocross and the use of your lats is imperative. The "biomechanical bar" as you call it, is designed to put the athletes arms in the correct biomechanical positions specific to pushing and pulling a motorcycle.

Specific to motocross, nothing is more appropriate. For rowing, maybe less than ideal.

Thank you again for watching and your comments!

The bar that is being utilized is called a Puller Bar made by Man & Machine. It is sport specific to motocross and mountain bike handlebars. We have also used the bar system to improve the pull phase of swimming. Thank you for your thoughts.

@OOTman -- I agree with you that the bar adds nothing if you intend to use an erg for training for rowing ... but rowing does use the lats (that's why weightlifters do seated rows). It works the lats from a different angle and use a different set of supplementary muscles.

DO NOT BUY THE "biomechanical bar!" it will NOT help you, only hurt you. Rowing is not meant for heavy use of your lats, which is what this guy is advertising. During the stroke, you should drive with your legs and finish with your arms. Not youre lats! Which is why the original handle that comes with the machine is the way it is. If you are looking to strengthen youre lats, do pull ups, australian pull ups, T-bars, ect. Rowing is both an aerobic AND anaerobic exercize due to the type of use of

3-4 is not normal water pressure surely? I've been rowing for few years now and we have always trained with the ergometer at resistance level 6 (however we normally go through the PM3 and make sure that the drag factor is 135) which feels much closer to the pressure you aquire when moving a boat :-/

[TheGrimshade2]

oh ya and inbetween 3-4 is the normal water pressure

Is this handle heavier than the normal rubber handle the machine originally came with? I could not tell what it was made of when I watched the video. Looks very uncomfortable at the finish (when you finish a stroke), it might be too wide of a grip.
