Technique Faults - Exaggerated Lean Back

 

The exaggerated lean back occurs when the user over exaggerates the use of the torso through the early part of the drive. The torso position at the Release should be just past the vertical.

Tell tale signs include;

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

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

Tips for correction include;

• Focus on sitting tall and just past the vertical at the end of the Drive in the Release position.

• 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.
