Rowing Stronger: Strength Training to Maximize Rowing Performance

by Will Ruth

Rowing, unique among Olympic sports, requires both strength and endurance—yet most training programs focus on the latter. Balanced, progressive strength training delivers power to the rowing stroke and protects the athlete from injury.

This manual teaches the principal weight lifts suitable for rowing, how to write a periodized training program and how to adapt the program to suit your team and crew.

With additional chapters for lightweights, masters, youth, coxswains, overtraining syndrome and how to train for winter head racing.

This is an excellent program for coaches and all levels of rowers.

Note that the 2024 edition is available at the author's website and is 188 pages. I don't understand what this 57 page kindle edition is that is listed here. This isn't a pamphlet. It is rigorously cited, researched and revised.
