In this video, Olympian and Coach, Luke Walton explains why proper separation of the arms and body off the backend of the stroke is key to rowing efficiency and power. Straightening your arms and tilting your body forward BEFORE your knees rise on recovery can make all the difference—helping you avoid hitting your knees with the handle and setting you up for strong, clean strokes. Coach Walton breaks down the "arms away pause," a simple yet effective drill to fine-tune your setup off the backend. Plus, discover how to master the 11 and 1 o’clock body positions to stay efficient through your stroke cycle. Remember—good separation at the finish sets you up for a strong catch and smooth recovery, leading to a powerful drive.
