I did a Tuck L-sit for 25 seconds!

[hkdr]

I'm so overjoyed at my progress with this. I'll post a form check because I am probably doing something wrong, but I held it for 25 seconds before stopping!

@hkdr Good job!

 

[hkdr]

@coffeered26 I appreciate it so much

Have a nice week!

@hkdr Swhat muscles does this workout?

 

[dawn16]

Shoulders, arms, hands, core, hip flexors, hamstrings... I feel every muscle is involved

 

[dawn16]

I'm working out for close to two years now, and feel I have gotten really much more confident in my body, I'm stronger than I ever was. But still, L-Sit progression looks me square in the eye every time, screaming Imma make you shake and curse the day you were born, you pancy!

@dawn16 Depends heavily on your form.

If your form is correct it should work in your triceps, shoulders and a good deal of abdominals compressing your core like in pike compressions.

 

[amduke26]

@dawn16 Hip flexors for me, but only because those are the ones that fail first. Need to do more compression work...

 

[hkdr]

@dawn16 I feel like it mainly does my triceps but I really don't know, my triceps are always sore the next day, and I have nowhere to do dips.

@hkdr Get 2 chairs! That's what I do

 

[twighlight]

@hkdr That's amazing well done!!

 

[hkdr]

@twighlight Thank you so much!!!

I'm loving all the comments and they are totally motivating me to push hard next workout.

edit: have a nice week

@hkdr Awesome. I really cant seem to do Tuck L-Sit at all for some reason. If I lift my legs while tucked my hands end up too far back and I can't hold it. I CAN do regular L-sit for a few seconds though

 

[hkdr]

@beastnate123 Thanks so much

My friend can't do tuck L-sit because of his long torso, that might be it?

Also the regular L-sit is far away for me, you being able to do it for a couple seconds is awesome!!!

Have a nice week :--)

 

[dawn16]

@beastnate123 Thats a tucked V-Sit, for a tucked L-Sit you need p-bars

 

[beastnate123]

@dawn16 Yeah, that's what it feels like.

Is it not possible to do a Tucked L on the floor?

Tucked L (feet can go even lower imo)

 

[beastnate123]

@dawn16 Right so you cant really do it on the floor.

That makes me feel better.

 

[stephisme]

@beastnate123 It is possible, just quite a bit harder. If you swing forward like that it means you need to work on your compression. Look up Antranik's video on compression work.

In the mean time, practicing on p bars is a good idea!

 

[beastnate123]

@stephisme Yeah, I don't have them available every day, depends on where I train.
