Look at this picture and you will understand what leverage is. The rowers are pushing the footstretchers against the handle to accelerate the flyweel. The lower back is doing the job of fulcrum and the rower is coordinating how much is pushing the frame away as the handle comes and how much he is opening the legs, body swing and braking arms to generate the maximum speed on the flyweel.
Rowing is not about the rower but about the blade work. The blade moves the boat and the rower links the boat with the blade to push the boat away.
On the RP3 instead of pushing the boat away trough the blade connection, the rower is accelerating the flyweel that has the same effect.
The momentums, feel and coordination you can execute on RP3 are the closest to on water rowing you can find.
