YiNam 0 #1 Posted August 1, 2023 I would like to know, if I take tandem jump, and the exit weight is 500 pounds, How much power do I need to land flare Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 615 #2 August 2, 2023 Lots of arm muscle. May I suggest training in the gymnasium 3 or 4 times per week to include chin-ups, curls, push-ups, parallel-bar dips, etc. Technique also helps a lot. Personally, I like to pull toggles to shoulder level, then rotate my elbows up so that I am using more muscles (pectorals, latimus dorsi, trapesius, etc. to finish the bottom half of the flare. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Engscott78 3 #3 October 3, 2023 Enough power to not hit the ground and get injured or die. It would be safe to guess you'd need more than a 300lb exit weight. But really it's technique. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
