- Hello and welcome everybody!
This week, we have a look at world class rowers from Russia. Robert has sent me their footage of the pair, asking for a review on youtube and for some feedback. What an excellent oportunity to point out this classic and heavily overlooked speed factor in the pair.

My personal experience shows something different, so I agree with Thomas Wei and "Technique Fiend ", without even resorting to the usually complicated formulations of Valery Kleshnev. If the bow seat wants to "kill" the stroke seat, he only needs to pull very hard at the beginning of the drive. As "Technique Fiend" puts it very well, "the bow seat should have a softer front end, and the stroke seat a softer finish in order for the turning moments to balance and for the boat to remain straight".
In some clubs with straight banks, the rudder is disconnected and the crew is asked to row, making sure the shell moves rigorously straight throughout the drive. This practice is controversial, but it produces rowers who are instinctively able to balance their effort.
I love more in depth analysis. Maybe do a shortie for the crew, with something they should concentrate on and a longer one for people who are interested in all of it.
We would like you to continue analyzing the technique if it's possibile :) and if other people are interest
Great video Aram!! Love the part about the effectiveness of the power-curve overlap
Thanks! We will try to note about your words. It was interesting for us :)
Great analysis as always and very useful if you are rowing a pair.
Definitely more on the pair please!
I will appreciate it a lot if you continue the analysis of this pair in more detail. Thanks!
Thank you so much! Very interesting video!
Good video. Effective length and power at the finish is important and can also be shown with ergo exercises by tying off the handle at various points in the stroke to feel the muscles engaged . The gluteal muscles are key to an affective long stroke towards the finish
Hi Aram, really enjoy your videos. Would you also apply the power curve theory to the Four? Thanks
To my eye, it looks like the bow is smaller than the stroke. The bow also seems to go in quicker than stroke and is loading his oar quicker. All of this should be turning this boat to starboard. If the stroke is larger and stronger than bow, his bigger power in the middle of the stroike is turning the boat back to port, which should make the boat go fairly straight. But he is so slow at getting into the water and loading his oar that they have very little time for them to share the load and make the boat really accelerate. I think that the stroke has to work on improving the speed of his catch and maybe take something off of the middle of the stroke. Just an opinion.
A couple of strain gauges on the oar locks and footplates would go a long way to answering the load curve questions.
Hi Aram,
Could you make an Analyse of the French pair from Sydney 2000.
From Jean Christoph Rolland and his pair Partner?
is the front pick drill a good way to practice what you're pointing out here?
Also when the rudder is used it acts like a brake, so it is important to adjust the factors you mention in order to use the rudder for steering as little as possible when racing.
Thats my rowing club
