Why is horizontal rowing so important in Calisthenics?
One of the main reasons why horizontal rowing is important is because ithas two fundamental principles of sports training: the principle of progression and the principle of health.
Horizontal rowing is an interesting regression to improve in dominated. The muscle groups involved are the same, but you have a part of the weight of your body resting on your feet. This makes this exercise easier and allows you to improve your strength little by little.
Horizontal rowing is a very friendly exercise with very low risk of injury. When doing the horizontal oar your arms work below 90º. When you perform strength exercises below this angle the subacromial space (located in the shoulder) increases and considerably decreases the risk of injury.

If you think that doing horizontal rowing is easy you may not have taken full advantage of it. While it is true that we can not establish a specific or magical number of repetitions that you must perform, we can recommend that you should be able to do 12-15 repetitions with your hands at the height of your feet. In addition, you should be ableto legate to touch your chest with your hands in all repetitions. If you do this, you can say that you are really competent in this exercise.
How can I progress in this exercise?
The traditional way to progress is to perform the exercise with the body tilted and more vertical. Once you progress, you lower the inclination until you are able to perform the exercise completely horizontally.
If you are a novice or you are starting the most recommended way would be to do about 10-15 repetitions with a total of 3-4 sets. Week by week you should complicate the exercise until you can do it completely horizontally.
If you are able to complicate the exercise and maintain the same number of repetitions would be ideal. However, you can also lower the number of repetitions per series each week to gradually increase the intensity.
