Rest Day 8/23:

What do you feel as you initiate the drive?

What do you feel in a deadlift?

Rowing is awesome because it amplifies your senses and feeling x10, or at least it should if you’re not death gripping the oar.  For the rest day today do a short warmup on the erg just taking some light strokes.  Mix in a couple of full pressure tens and really feel what’s happening at the catch as yo initiate the drive.  Then do some deadlifts and feel what happens as you initially take the weight off the floor.  Go back and forth between the two and feel what’s going on.  What muscles are engaged?  What muscles are relaxed?  What can you focus on to ensure you’re initiating the stroke/lift with the legs and keeping your chest, hips, and hands connected?

If you have any revelations or good descriptors of what you focus on please share!
