All In The Hips

PhotobucketA little while back we talked about how important the catch position in rowing is (10/29). It is common to see a constant perpendicular torso when rowing, which means very little hip involvement. As everyone would agree, the hips should be used to generate force and power in rowing. Mark utilizes his hips nicely in the photo above with hips flexed in the catch and extended in the finish. Workout:
