Travis Pastrana and others

Rowing on land has grown bigger than on the water rowing.   Professional Moto Cross, a.k.a MC, athletes like Travis Pastrana help publicize the benefits of rowing. 

You can see on this picture that Travis built a different kind of handle, which replicates the width and angle of a motorcycle handle bar .

For scullers I would recommend independent grips so that the arms pass a little deeper than the sternum.

One of the changes I would recommend to Travis is to get a dynamic rowing machine.  Than he can  start rowing the machine one leg and arm at a time.  I have such  exercises on this DVD: Indoor Rowing Workouts

Final comment, too many keep their drag factor too low.  Experiment higher drag, don't raise your stroke rate

Move with the flow!
