This isn't just a row. It's a chance to review yourself.
Today we're checking in β on technique, on effort, on where your head's at. Over-compression, heels lifting, butt scootingβ¦ all mine, all on camera. The tape-on-the-rail trick for your catch point, why \"brain muscle\" beats brute force, and the drag factor conversation (I went with 145 β heavier connection, more to think about).
21-minute low-intensity row at ~20 spm. 4-minute cool-down with stretches. Bail out at the 21-minute mark if you need less.
Don't Row Alone, Row Along π¦
