Strength Coach Roundtable #13: “Rowing Stronger”

We’re back for a quick episode to talk about Will’s new book, “Rowing Stronger, Second Edition.” The first edition was Rowperfect UK’s best-selling e-book since 2016, and after 3+ more years of coaching, learning, writing, and talking with rowers and rowing coaches all over the world, Will has produced a second edition with revised and all-new content. Blake and Joe contributed guest chapters, and join this episode to talk about movement assessments and kettlebell training for rowing, and information and discussion that didn’t make the final cut of the new book.
