I discovered rowing with one leg by accident. At our Indoor Rowing Studio we outfitted our rowing machines with wind bags which redirect the flywheels air toward the person rowing. This was two years ago. I thought to myself: "WOW! This is good to make rowers understand what it means to push with the legs and suspend their upper body before pulling." When you row several minutes with just one leg, you also notice how much the glut muscle is needed for a proper leg-drive-power-application! This brought me to notice that rowers in general have an imbalance between the size of the quadriceps and glut which also could lead to back pain.
This is my two cents worth.
Please to meet everybody.
