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.
