Hey guys thanks for the advice. I am having the same problem with flexing my Lats. I am rounding my back, and I should be leaning back slightly.

W8 or anyone else who can help,
I am in need of some answers.
I am training to possibly do a physique challenge next month and was wondering a couple of things. The physique challenge consists of the following: flexed arm hang, bench jumps, and physique round.
How often can i train the flexed arm hang?
Can i do it everyday, maybe once?
Would that cause to much damage and not enough repair time?
Are there any excersies i can do to train to get a longer time?
What is a good time for flexed arm hang?
I am doing seated cable rows and holding the move for 30secs. is this a good exercise for building strength for the event?
I know W8 has participated in physique challenges before, can you help? Anyone?
Thanks.

The physique challenge is being held here in Winnipeg. It is going on in conjunction with the CBBF national womens fitness competition (which i haven't qualified for yet).
The flexed arm hang is done on a chin bar and you are to hold it for as long as you can. Palms turned in and close grip.
The box jumps are done on a 8" platform. You are to jump onto the platform and down onto the otherside and so on, as many times as you can in 30sec. (or is it 1 min, i forget).
Then the physique round is just quarter turns like in fitness.
Maybe we can help eachother along.
The competition is June.22nd and i am going to train as though i am going to enter it, but am truley not sure if i am. I would rather focus on my Fitness comp in Sept., but i figure if i get my flexed arm hang up to 2min 30 sec i may have a chance of not doing so bad. It also depends upon how lean i am with the diet i am on now. I am sitting at 15% so i dont know. It would be very good coverage and alot of fun, costs are high though.

Thanks again W8.
So you think training arm hangs 3 days a week is ok, as long as its not in a row?
