You’re strongest from your hips and core.
The goal of an efficient and good stroke in the SkiErg is to utilize your hips and core to the highest degree.
Here’s the steps:
1. Keep the arms bent, slightly, a lot, whatever your strength levels allow you to do. You want to be rigid here.
2. Shoot the hips back while flexing the core downward to create force against your rigid arms
3. Finish with your hands to pockets as a follow through
4. The follow through should feel like recovery after a hard pull from your torso and hips, not like you’re creating more force
5. Take your time getting back to next rep, force per stroke > stroke rate
SkiErg is a foreign object to most people, expect it to take time to learn, slow it down. Ignore the stats. Focus on creating a strong, sustainable stroke every pull.
