Rowing Finish Position
Rowing finish position brings the handle to the lower ribs with legs extended and elbows past the body—not yanked to the neck. A compact finish speeds recovery.
Rowing finish position is the back end of the stroke—handle at the lower ribs, elbows drawn past the torso, wrists flat, legs fully extended. Over-pulling to the neck wastes energy and tightens traps.
A compact finish pairs with a quick hand-away on recovery.
Common questions
-
Where should the handle finish on the body?
Between the bottom of the sternum and upper abdomen is typical—enough layback for power without reaching the chin.
