Avoid OVER COMPRESSION on the ROWING MACHINE with These Tips

In the video, Olympian and Coach, Luke Walton walks you through what "over compression" is, what causes it, and how to ensure you avoid it while still maintaining free long roll into the front end of the rowing stroke. Over compression is bad, but full compression is still good. So you want to make sure you aren't shortening your stroke when working to prevent over compression. With proper foot position and drills, supplied to you by Coach Walton, you can still roll plenty far into the front end before over compressing. Understanding the dos and don't of compression at the catch is key to creating your most efficient, long, and powerful rowing strokes
