How’s it going Renegades?  Today we’re taking a look at Shadi mid race.  This is a video review that I put together to help her and you develop your stroke and find new areas to improve upon.  I’ll be posting regular video reviews about once a week, usually on Thursdays.  If you’d like feedback on your stroke or would like to see me talk about a certain area of the stroke, please let me know in  the comments.  If you’d like to be featured in the weekly Video Review please send me a 5 stroke video via email to pat@renegaderowing.com.

Today’s topic relates to how you sit on the erg.  Are you sitting on the back of the seat or the front of the seat?  Are you balanced on the back of your tail bones or the front?  How does your point of contact with the seat affect your posture and positioning throughout the stroke?  These are things to think about and an area where you can make a quick change to see big gains.  Let us know what you think and if you have any questions.

Also, if you’d like to join in the fun in person, the Renegade Rowing Team will be rowing on the water starting in June on Tuesday and Thursday nights from 6:45pm to 8:15pm.  Everyone is welcome, just let me know via email – pat@renegaderowing.com, and I can get you the details on how to get started and join the group.
