Mandatory Pose Wednesday: Front Lat Spread

Posted: 10 Feb 2021 07:36 AM PST

Welcome back everyone to Mandatory Pose Wednesday! We have a new rule so please make sure to read them!

The main rule for these weekly threads will be that if you are not a verified competitor, you are not to give advice or coaching to those seeking help.

How does one become a verified competitor? Send a modmail with your stage shots and we will work with you to get you verified. Verified competitors will have their flair adjusted for easy identification. Most will get "Verified Competitor ✅" and those who already have custom flair will get ✅ added to it. We will try to verify some of you ahead of time based on the more active known competitors in the sub but this is a call to service for those members in the sub to give trustworthy advice in these threads.

Those who are not verified competitors will be warned once in these threads if they are giving advice or coaching followed by a ban from those threads. Feel free to continue to give advice in the daily discussion but these threads will be for coaching from verified competitors only.

We're hitting Front Lat Spread today.

1) Place your feet approximately shoulder width apart, with your toes pointed out in a "V" shape. Rotate the knees outwards so they are over the feet. This should force the quads to contract.

2) Ball both your hands into a fist but leave the thumbs sticking out, resembling a "thumbs up" position.

3) Reach towards the bottom rear of your rib cage with your thumbs to lock your hands in place. Next rotate your hands so that the back of the hand is facing up, and the side fist is facing front. The trick with this is to make sure your elbows do not drift too far to the front. They still need to be pointed out to the sides to create the maximum illusion of width.

4) Pull your Lats out as wide as you can, while sticking your chest up and flexing the pectorals. What you are trying to create here is a dramatic "V" taper with your shoulder to waist ratio. The thicker your waist naturally is, the more puffed up chest will need to be in order to try to create the illusion of a narrow waist. If you are gifted with a naturally tiny waist, you may not need to "puff" the chest out as much to achieve the same or better effect.

5) Flex your legs and glutes. In addition to activating the leg muscles you want to achieve a slight tilt forward, taking into consideration that the judges will be below you. If you stand too straight or lean back the angle will not be as flattering from the view below. Give the judges a good view of your size. A good rule of thumb is if you can see the judges comfortably, then it should be about the right angle.

Examples:
