Video first so you know what you're doing 13:00 The recovery - know the sequence you want. Arms - body - slide. Feeling unstable when putting the blades in the water. Setting the body angle - twice or once? Moving up the slide "like an accordion" 17:00 The power phase - the sequence is legs - back - arms. Only use each body part once per stroke. Drills to emphasise the sequence - Legs only rowing; legs and backs; legs back and arms. Then blend them together. 24:00 Legs only drill. Blades on the water reinforces the horizontal power - level handles. Mark the blade shaft 40 cms up from where the blade joins the shaft. Use white tape and use this as a marker to ensure the blade isn't too deep. 29:00 Blade depth while stationary - check it. The slope of the oars to the water matters and is affected by boat depth in the water. 40:00 Finish at the xiphoid process - demonstrates the oarlocks are set at the correct height.
