Thoughts on Blade Work?
Blade Work
When is the blade Feathered/Squared?
At the CrossFit Rowing Course June 8-9 we will be learning how the blade and the oar move with the body during the stroke. If you’re interested in dialing in your technique and pushing your rowing to the next level come to CrossFit Boston and Community Rowing.
On Saturday we will be crushing it with CrossFit Rowing Coach Shane Farmer on the Concept2 Ergometer. On Sunday we will be putting our new and improved skills to work rowing in shells on the Charles River. Sign up here and come enjoy the summer in Boston!
Share your thoughts on when the blade should be feathered and squared to comments!
Rest Day 4/7/13:
What side is Port and what side is Starboard?
What direction is the boat going?
Sometimes asking these simple questions even on the erg is helpful in thinking about balance, technique, and efficiency of movement. If you ever plan to row on the water you will want to know the answers. Especially if you want to stay safe and go fast!
Will you be at the CrossFit Rowing Course June 8-9 in Boston?
If you enjoy Rowing, especially when combining it with CrossFit, then you should come get some knowledge on both! CrossFit Boston will be hosting a 2-Day CrossFit Rowing Trainer’s Course June 8-9.

Find a local rowing club and join a learn to row program!
Recently I was emailed by Jennifer who is a follower of the CrossFit Rowing Facebook Page and Renegade Rowing. She learned to row last year and wanted to spread the word for other interested athletes in the NY and NJ area looking to row.
This year the East Arm Rowing Club Learn-to-Row Program begins with an optional technical session at the West Point Boathouse on Saturday April 13 at 9 a.m. ($7 fee), continues with on-the-water practices starting the week of April 21, and culminates with the annual “Greenwood Lake Challenge” for the Sullivan Cup Sunday, June 2 beginning at 9 a.m.
