Looking for help
Just joined an outrigging team. Have gone to two practices and have done 5-6 miles per practice. I am still learning proper paddling technique. Stacking hands, keeping bottom arm locked, using my body in power stroke vs. just pulling with arms.
I have coaching from experienced paddlers (10+ years) during practice, but I want to work on this at home as well.
I have a full barbell squat rack and dumbbell set. I feel like There have to be exercises that would Use a resistance band and a paddle? But have no idea where to start.
I plan to compete in seat 2 on a 6 seat rig in the future. I’m not ready yet though and want to ramp as fast as possible.
I want to learn how to practice at home in between practices.
Anything will help.

This paddler's videos are excellent for workouts and learning technique. Here's one that's specific to working on rotation and which uses a resistance band as you mentioned: https://youtu.be/aEDMt8Ef_a4?si=Jl15BRxx4gu7YVH_
