Along the way we work through the full stroke in detail:
✅ Machine setup — drag factor, seat position, foot stretcher height, handle grip
✅ The recovery phase — relaxing your arms, the handle path, when to bend your knees
✅ Core bracing — the one cue that connects everything
✅ The drive — why it's a push, not a pull
✅ Elbows during and after the drive — the fix that makes the biggest difference
Whether you're brand new to the rowing machine or just want cleaner technique while you train, this one's for you.
(May the 4th be with you 🚣⚡)
