Rowing Power Application
Rowing power application transfers leg force through a braced trunk to the handle—peak watts per stroke, not arm yanking or high rate alone.
Rowing power application is how force transfers through the feet into the handle—peak watts on the monitor, not just fast hands. Strong legs with a stiff trunk outperform arm-dominant yanking.
Power per stroke matters more than stroke rate alone for splits.
