Hi,

I had my first cfa in the usna summer seminar and today I retook the test.
One thing I found odd was the hand position for the flexed arm hang.
In the summer seminar, they made me hold the bar with fingers towards me.
However, when I was doing the test with my gym teacher for westpoint application, the instruction said to grab the bars with fingers facing out, which made me have worse results (which makes sense).
Which is the right way?
I want to be clear here because I dont want to turn in results that I've 'cheated' on.

Fingers away from you. Palms facing away from you. And yes, this is harder than the other way.

@sophlee - Please try to work on doing one (just one) pull up. One pull up is superior to a maximum flex arm hang. There are many threads on developing that one pull up on the forum.
