How To Row - Faults and Correction - Lean Back
 

 

Video of Lean Back (to come)

 

Fault

Occurs when the user over exaggerates the use of the torso through the early part of the Drive and at the Release

Tell tale signs include;

• The body leans too far back as seen in the animation above

• The torso is used to draw the handle back rather than using the legs and arms

Tips for correction

• Focus on sitting tall and just past the vertical at the end of the Drive in the Release position (see Check Point 1)

• Focus on using the legs for the first part of the Drive and finishing with drawing in the handle to the body

• Focus on sitting tall yet relaxed throughout the rowing stroke
