Rowing by Patrick

My name is Patrick Brown I’m a CrossFit L1 and CrossFit Rowing trainer and former competitive rower. I run small seminars on how to use the Concept 2 rowing machine correctly. I know a lot of CrossFitters, whether competitive athletes or those looking to boost health a fitness hate rowing, but by improving technique they will see the benefit of rowing and why it is generally seen as being one of the best tools for building a bigger engine. The session would consist of

- Set up: How to set up the correct position of feet and hands, how to set up the performance monitors

- The technique: The sequence of the body movement, building the drive and recovery . Basic technique drills working with banded slides and handles. Use of rate and rhythm, and why it is so important.

- Quick starts for 500 metre / short intervals and this is the only time there is a hack to fool the machine and then how to get a quick start for the 2000m.

- Release for WODS: The quick release footwork and how you save time getting on and off the machine in multi movement workouts.

- A workout to implement everything that has been learnt and to demonstrate why the training is relevant and effective. I can do more than one group per day if required. If this seems a viable option for your box please get in contact and we can organise a date to make it happen.
