User questions & answers

Question:	Can you store it upright while water is in it
Answer:	Yes, the rower can be stored upright with water. We recommend for it to be placed upright against the wall for storage.
Question:	New to rowing. Does the water level determine the resistance? If you need to change resistance i.e decrease it, what do you do
Answer:	You can add/remove water to change the resistance, but obviously that's a huge pain. The answer I've read elsewhere is that the "right" way to change rowing intensity is to change your pace (just like you would in a real boat). I keep the water at the max level and just row faster for more intense, which has worked just fine.
Question:	Is this long enough to be used by someone who is
Answer:	The advertised max inseam is 38" not 49". The 38" also does not take into consideration that you will be wearing shoes when using the rower. Thicker soles will quickly shorten that inseam. Also, the foot rests pivot by 3-4 inches which will shorten the available inseam. I have a 36" inseam and find that I can only full extend my legs when I've removed the rubber stopper plate from the rail and restrict the foot rests from moving. However, you have to be careful not to strike the back support plate with the seat carriage wheels or you will crack or damage them.
Question:	Does this "Water rowing machine" come with the water or do I have to place it in water
Answer:	You will add the water. It will come with a funnel and some anti algae tablets to add to it that should last up to 6 months. Holds about 2-3 gallons at max capacity

Hands ought to be gripped with the thumb around the handle, placed in line with the width of the individual’s shoulders, arms straight. Lean in slightly, with a tall chest to where the shoulders are just ahead of the hips, or on a clock face, the body is at about 11 o’clock.

Drive

Drive: from the catch to the finish.

The row stroke has three primary mechanisms to produce power. In order they are the legs, hips, and finally the arms. Keep in mind that although the name of the machine is a “rower,” this is a leg dominant movement. Without overthinking it, the legs initiate the drive by begin extending, pushing the upper body away from the front of the rower much like the start of a deadlift breaking the barbell off the floor. Once the hands have transitioned past the feet, the hips start to swing back, moving the torso from that 11 o’clock angle towards the 1 o’clock angle as we discussed in the finish phase above. Finally in the sequence, the arms bend, bringing the handle in towards the torso.

The drive sequence is Legs -> Hips -> Hands.

This lean puts the body at 1 o’clock with the hands pulled in just below the solar plexus. Shoulders are down and relaxed with elbows neither winged out or jammed in at your side. Elbows need to be near the body as if you had a grapefruit between your elbow and your side, with forearms and wrist parallel to the floor. This is the finish position phase of the row stroke.

The recovery sequence is Hands -> Hips -> Legs.
