Shoulders When You Row

CFSCMeganPeterRow Megan and Peter race to 500

The shoulder and spine are a critical piece of the rowing stroke. As we come forward it is easy to get pulled out of good position. We need to take the time to sit up straight, turn on the lats and drive with the legs not the back or the arms. In the above photo Magan and Peter have both lost ideal position in pursuit of a win during a team workout.
