I've used these a lot in my time with 🇨🇳Rowing as part of an exercise continuum developed with coach @PaulTho66878200 to establish capacity and awareness in key positions. Progressions build a base to support desired technical changes. S&C beyond barbell, leg press & bench pull!

Injury prevention doesn’t belong to a single department. Skill coaches, families, agents, performance coaches, nutritionists, athletes, athletic trainers, groundskeepers, mental skills, etc., can increase or decrease the likelihood of an athlete becoming injured.
