Technique Faults - Bum Shoving or Seat Shoving

The bum/seat shove occurs when the drive of the legs is not well connected to the handle.

Tell tale signs include;

• • The seat moves independently of the handle

• • The body angle closes as the legs are driven down

Tips for correction include;

• • Focus on the seat being connected to the handle with the seat only moving when the handle moves.

• • Focus on not closing the body angle but maintaining the same torso position through the beginning of the stroke.

• • Keep chest up and spine straight
