Common mistakes in the use of rowing machines;
1, excessive upper body inclination
Rowing is a multi-joint sport, but it does not include the hip joint. In other words, your hips should be kept locked, and leaning back and forth will increase the range of movement, or use your own weight in disguise to complete the movement and reduce the effect.
Novice skill: In standard movements, the lower back will not participate in the exertion. Feel the stretching of the lower back muscles. If you feel it, it means the action is wrong. When rowing, as long as the upper body leans back within 10 degrees, it is the correct posture.
2. The scope of activities is incomplete
The complete range of motion can make the muscles contract to the maximum and get the best exercise effect. You can't gain weight at the expense of reducing the distance. When pulling back, let the elbow pull back farthest, and the scapula will reach the maximum contraction position. If you can't do it, reduce the number of pounds.
3, did not protect the lower back.
When rowing, the spine should be fixed and not bent. This means that the lower back muscles should be tightened to protect the back.
4. The knee joint is locked
Straightening your legs completely will put too much pressure on your knee joint and cause injury. Legs should be slightly bent and fixed.
