Rowing Technique
Quick fact
A well-executed rowing stroke uses about 60% of the power from the legs, 30% from the back, and only 10% from the arms, yet most beginners rely too heavily on their arms and back.
Why this is interesting
Rowing looks like pure brute force, but the secret to slicing through water lies in a precise, almost dance-like sequence of movements. Can a tiny timing mistake actually slow the whole boat down?
