The L-Sit hold is easily one of the most underrated core exercises. Many people refer to it as a “beginner” skill in calisthenics. Perhaps it is technically a beginner-level skill in gymnastics, but it’s still a very humbling exercise that challenges the core more than most exercises, and is by no means “easy” for the average person.
That’s where my tutorial comes in. I’ll teach you how to go from complete beginner to L-Sit expert.
The L-Sit is great for working on your core compression (getting torso closer to thighs) and builds insane strength in your hip flexors and all the muscles used for downward vertical pressing (dips).
And one of my favorite things about L-Sits is their cross-over to other exercises. For example, many variations of pull-ups can be done in an L-Sit position. You can also transition to L-Sit from dips, or transition from L-Sit to handstand.
For prerequisites, I recommend you have enough strength to perform strict dips, can hang from a pull-up bar with scapular activation and have decent hamstring flexibility. All of this is explained in more detail in the video, of course.
Happy training!

Nice digs man. I like your videos very much. As a beginner I see way too many videos that are too advanced. You must build up strength, flexibility and wrist strength slowly or you'll just get injured or lose heart. Your keeping it realistic.

This is great :). I have had shoulder issues for a number of years (pain plus winged scapula). Saw a few doctor's, two physios and a osteo. But have decided to take a mix of all their advice and do my own research. Been doing banded external rotation, scapula pull ups, push up plus (also legs + lower core + stretches) and have finally been feeling great. So I thought the L sit will help train the shoulder movement that's missing. It's great to have a resource like this, so I reduce the chances of hurting myself haha thanks!

new to the channel. love the progression exercises. My only addition comment is regarding the hamstring stretch exercises. There are tons of videos out there the teach "active stretching" for the hamstrings. I would highly recommend others to watch them if they want to improve hamstring flexibility. I have never found passive stretching to be helpful to my body.

@MinusTheGym
@MinusTheGym 5 жыл бұрын
PaperWings I share the same frustration. It's a slow process. Have you tried using a foam roller? Like this amzn.to/2GR3gvH Sit your thighs on it and roll your hamstrings back and forth right before you stretch. It'll break up knots in the fascia and get better blood flow to the muscles. Foam rolling definitely had the biggest impact on my flexibility progress. Try to do it daily for best results.

@MinusTheGym
@MinusTheGym 4 жыл бұрын
Evensy Sam no, it shouldn't. Focus on the 1st progression and gradually building strength in your scapular protraction and depression. Wouldn't also hurt to see if you have any imbalances in your scapular region. That might be the case since it's only one side. My shoulder impingement routine video has exercises that can help balance things out for the upper back, if that's the case.

Mitch Lacasse check the product description details on the bar before you buy. They usually say how much weight they're rated for. Doorway pull up bars might be a no go, but look into wall-mounted pull up bars. I think they're rated for a lot of weight when mounted properly.

Jeff Nosanov 5 sets of your current progression is good. You can throw in a couple sets of regressions too. For example, doing 5 sets of 1-leg extended, then finishing off with a set or two of tuck or floor assisted. Also, you can include this as just part of your routine. So the l-sit work would be the "push" portion of an upper body or full body workout.
