In the past few weeks, I've been rowing after swimming, and I feel amazing. I feel more powerful in the water and can feel definite gains in upper body strength. However, I also have a bit more tension in the ligaments behind my knee, and I swim breaststroke (eek!) Does anybody else row? Does it effect your swimming? Any thoughts on how to either strengthen the knees or why I might be having tension?
I've never tried "real" rowing, however we do own a Concept II Indoor Rower and love it.
Craig.....your correct about participation check out; www.concept2.com By the way Mr. Rich A is big time into this and we see his continued success in swimming.
Marlenb....be careful not to fully extend your legs (and possibly "lock out" your knees), also most people have the resisitance to high....keep it around 3-5 till you've built up a base.
