BL static hold

Hey guys, I can hold the back lever for 5 seconds. The problem is, I used to help my hold with my lats, which gave me a lot of strength on my lats, but very little on the biceps :x :x

So, I decided to start from scratch. Now whenever I work my BL I open my arms to the sides (as if trying to do a maltese, but not to a 45 degree angle) so that I prevent my lats to assist.

Anyways, here's a picture of my BL:

Sry, here it is:

That looks really solid man! can you pull back to inverted hang from that position? Also a photo taken from the front of you would give us a better perspective of how you're opening your arms. seems like a good idea.. I'll have to try this myself 8)

WOW! Dude! is that really you!? that is effing phenomenal (sp). Wonderful job!

It really inspires me to be able to inspire other people. Everything I've achieved, I owe it to Coach Sommer and this amazing unique site.

As you can see, with diligent work you can achieve anything, really ANYTHING!

Keep the work up people, and most importantly... ENJOY IT! Enjoy yourself becoming stronger, faster, better, more agile, more flexible...

Yes I can!!! I practiced a lot of Reverse Cranks, so this was becoming easy. Now that I open my arms to the sides, it's impossible :shock:

I find myself having to do it in a full tuck to be able to pull back to inverted hang :? :?

It sounds like a great idea, I will definitely post a new picture/video of my current BL static from different angles. Thanks for the great idea!
