Fix Over Compression on Your Concept2 Rowing Machine | Simple Tape Hack for Proper Compression

Are you over compressing on your Concept2 rowing machine? Over compression happens when your upper and lower leg form an overly acute angle at the catch, reducing power and increasing injury risk. In this video, I share a simple, low-cost technique to fix this common rowing mistake using a piece of tape on the seat rail as a haptic cue.

By placing tape at the exact point where your shins reach vertical, the tape provides gentle feedback to stop you from sliding too far forward. This visual and tactile marker helps you maintain an optimal compression angle, improving your stroke efficiency and setting a stronger position for the drive phase.

This easy hack is accessible to all rowers and doesn’t damage your Concept2 machine. Perfect for beginners and experienced athletes looking to refine their rowing form and prevent injury.

How to set up the tape marker on your Concept2 seat rail
