Pro Tips Pro

  1. Play around with your power as you change the rate. Look to see if you can increase your pace/speed when the rate goes up.
  2. Keep the same good rowing rhythm when the rates change. Look for a ratio of 1:2 - 1 part drive phase and 2 parts recovery phase.
  3. Always focus on developing and maintaining good rowing technique.
