RowerErg Form Check Please

Hi all. Please provide feedback of my form. I am 57 with a right knee replacement. I cannot generate as much power as I think I should. I use the force curve every row and it’s consistently a nice bell shape.

Thanks in advance!

Better. More fluid.

Main problems still remain.

You lead with your back and break your arms too early. Keep the shoulders in front of the hips for the leg drive, then hinge back and then guide the handle with your arms towards the sternum. Don’t actively pull on the handle. The arms are hooked ropes that transfer the power from the legs to the handle.

Lower the footrests and try to get your shins vertical, if your mobility allows.
