Best for:

    HYROX athletes, CrossFit competitors, or anyone who uses the erg as a race station and wants to convert it into a performance advantage.

    What will you get from this add-on?

    • Technical mastery: optimize foot positioning, damper/drag settings, leg-drive dominance, and trunk stability (Legs → hips → arms)
    • Stroke sequence and rhythm drills: slow recovery, strong drive, smooth transitions, consistent splits
    • Pacing & stroke-rate strategy: set optimal SPM for station demands, practise rate-cap sets, monitor split & drag factor
    • Endurance efficiency: high-volume drill blocks + race-specific erg work for fatigue resistance
    • AI form feedback: live correction of posture, handle path, spine alignment, and rhythm

    Every race block you run without fixing your erg technique is free time left on the floor
    If you feel like you burn out too soon on the erg station, this is for you.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the correct stroke sequence on the rowing erg?

    The drive should begin with your legs, followed by a torso lean and finally the arms. Initiating with arms or torso first reduces power and efficiency.

    What damper or drag settings should I use on a rowing machine for race performance?

    Use a moderate setting (around 4–6 for many models) to replicate water rowing rhythm; very high resistance often leads to form breakdown and fatigue.

    Can improving rowing technique reduce my overall race time?

    Yes. A clean technique lets you sustain power longer and delay fatigue, which means you perform better on the erg station and preserve energy for other race segments.

    How many strokes per minute (SPM) should I aim for during the Ski-Erg station?

    For race-style rowing, 2–3 focused erg sessions per week are enough to build power and endurance without compromising recovery or form consistency.

    Why do I feel back or shoulder fatigue early on the rowing machine?

    Fatigue often comes from poor posture or from relying on the arms instead of the legs and core, so maintaining a strong, upright torso and driving through the legs can fix that.
