Rowing in CrossFit

I’ve always been a horrible rower in CrossFit. Until today when I was doing a modified version of Fight Gone Bad.

After 3 years, I think I’ve finally figured out how to row.

How to Row in CrossFit

  • Row with your legs. 60 percent legs. 20 percent core. 20 percent arms.
  • When you’re at the catch position (handle is near the front of the rower), you wait until you feel it stop. Then you pull.
  • You pull straight to your breastbone. There is no dip in the movement.
  • Lean back slightly in order to make sure the chain of the rower is at its max.
  • Pull the rower to your body with force. Finish with a strong pull.

I hope these tips will help you become a better rower in your next WOD.

Finally! I Feel Good!

This was a good week in CrossFit.

I strung together multiple bar muscle-ups.  I nailed my kipping chest-to-bar pull-ups and strung together two of those.  I PR’d Fight Gone Bad by 30 reps.  My strength program is progressing nicely.

AND….

I feel good.  My aches and pains are almost eliminated.  I feel like I’m over the injury hump.  I’ve got my nutrition dialed in (I’ve lost 5 lbs and toned up).good-life-quotes-3

It makes a real difference if you feel like you’re progressing towards your goals.  It makes life much more enjoyable.

I’m looking forward to the Open.  I’m getting stronger day-by-day.  My skills are coming along.  My conditioning is still stellar.

Have I mentioned how much I love CrossFit?
