LM4x


Colin-Wrists are broken too much, change grip.
Catches!
Shoulders too tight at the finish. Finish with the lats.

Back done too early

The catches are still off but you have both made obvious improvements this fall.

New Zealand loose shoulders and patience at the catch. German body prep.

Bahain/Berrest (mute if watching at work) :

Training video is good. Racing video is actually pretty terrible.

Italian U23 LW4x:

LM4x



I think this is the light 4x that set the world record at U23's. No matter who they are, they're very technically good. Hands at the catch, especially out of 2 seat are very very good. No tightness, no shoulders.

Emily Van Fossen


A good model for you:

Last year's world champion in Philly for the Gold Cup, Frida Svensson. Does a very nice job of catching with no body lunge and then keeping the shoulders relaxed and horizontal so she can use her legs better as she drives through the top 6 inches.

Not perfect but getting much better. When you're on the catches and not trying to overfinish the boat really looks better.

Frida Svensson, paddling before the Gold Cup. Very nice grip on the catch, patient, horizontal, excellent timing on the entries.

LW4x 0609




Eyes on Chinese stroke and 2 seat, bow and 3 a little hard at the catch. All are incredibly quick on the footboard and do a nice job of staying forward when the blades enter the water.

Peter/John0609

Watching Mads Rasmussen (bow/Denmark) from side view. Shoulders are very long, does a very nice job of staying down at the catch. Pol 2x also, front view you can see how well they use the legs at the front end, with the oars out of the picture, the catch is so subtle you can barely tell when the blades are in the water, and the shoulders are loose enough to not tighten or retract at the catch. It's length through the arms then swing. Watch the greeks, stern view, handle and body push out at the same time.

Sarah/Lizzy 0609

I've included this video because the Greeks do a very nice job of holding the the body down into and out of the catch. Their bodies are very quick out of the bow through the catch and their shoulders stay in front of their hips almost indefinitely. The brits also, very tidy finishes.
