AramAdministratorOctober 23, 2024 at 2:57 pm in reply to: Question for the video How tall do you have to beHi Anders my set-up on the @BIOROWER Pro is 86cm inboard, 159,6cm spread, 20cm seat to heel gap Boats need to be set up so that rowers can comfortably move into the catch and finish. If somebody is small, I would go for a narrow spread (158, 157, etc) but also reduce the inboard length. This is pretty drastic, but you can compensate by decreasing the outboard accordingly. I personally prefer a total oar length of 288 with 86 inboard, which is on the harder side. For rowers who prefer a softer set up, and who are small, you could try a 158cm (or smaller) spread, 86cm (or 85cm) inboard, 283cm total oar length. Always depending on the stiffness of the oars and the rigger type and material used. Shins vertical are, imho, an overused term. People see it as the whole grail, when it is nothing more than the result of decent pelvic control. Focusing on the latter is what we need, not on shins vertical.

AramAdministratorAugust 28, 2024 at 7:59 pm in reply to: How to keep your shoulders from over-engaging at the catchYou are trying to over control the finish, too much body motion and insufficient deep muscle use. If you agree, I could use your footage to explain how to get rid of this issue in a YT video

AramAdministratorAugust 25, 2024 at 11:10 pm in reply to: How to keep your shoulders from over-engaging at the catchThis looks like the shoulder has to do more work than it should because your pelvis is not well positioned or your legs kick too hard too early. I would need to see this from the side to be able to see more

AramAdministratorNovember 8, 2024 at 6:13 pm in reply to: Welcome to rowing.zone – Introduce yourselfHello Frederike, thank you very much for your great feedback. For long distance C shell boats I would reduce my forward lean angle quite a bit, however, not completely. Essentially, I am trying to have as little impact on my body as possible. 160km in a C shell is tough, especially if Lac Leman is unfriendly. Waves can get up to 6m, according to the locals.

AramAdministratorOctober 14, 2024 at 7:31 am in reply to: Welcome to rowing.zone – Introduce yourselfThis is one of these rowing gems in North America. I remember exploring some of these venues during my high school senior year, where the college took me along to some camps and races. It is true that race conditions are usually close to what we call “unrowable”.
