Technique Drills 3. Slide work Slide work commences with fixed-seat rowing and then the slide (or legs) are gradually included, beginning with half slide (half leg compression)) and finally full slide (full leg compression). This drill is particularly useful for teaching people correct technique in small stages.

Slide work combines the different slide length drills together so that the user gradually builds up to full side and then builds down to no slide. This embeds the elements of technique into the full slide action. Practicing each slide length for a minute or so and then returning to full-range rowing enables you to feel the effect of each drill on your co-ordination. An examples of using the slide drill when warming up is:

No slide: as with
Half slide:
at the rocked over checkpoint, the knees break and the legs are allowed
to compress to about Half slide. 
Full slide: concentrating on maintaining the
above sequence of movement, the legs
compress fully reaching the Catch checkpoint.
