The Secret to achieving the L-Sit

[dawn16]

@cynthiag Just to be clear your arms should be straighter and still perpendicular to the floor than this image, so that it is still similar to the L sit

 

[cynthiag]

@dawn16 So essentially my butt would be by my hands over the box in this image.

 

[dawn16]

@cynthiag Yep

@cynthiag I've had the same problem. I'm gonna try adding this compression work in but what I've done to start is grab small dumbbells to help lift my hands off the floor just a little bit which allows me to get my ass off the floor haha

@cynthiag I was in exactly that position initially too, I read on a thread about putting a your hands on two books to give you a little bit of extra height. It's been working well for me.

[dj2big]

@bkchristian Could you send them to me as well. I think the mods just made a bad call on this post.

 

[nicholas90]

@dj2big Same. Read through your post and thought "why the hell wouldnt he upload images or videos to go along with the post. This is just a confusing mess." Then i read the comments and realized you werent the idiot here )))

@bkchristian Would also like them if you don’t mind 3)

@aamyggirl I’ll save everybody the click.

1. Unilateral seated pike compression.
2. Bilateral seated pike compression
3. Foot supported L-sit with more compression, like a Lucas Abner version. Like the beginning of a pike press L-sit to HS press raise.

None of this is anything new.

Edit: not pike press, which starts off standing.

@paul500 Adding to Mahnkee's post above...

The compression work helps increase the ability to maintain a posterior pelvic tilt, which is needed for anything requiring L-sit.

@bkchristian Could you send it to me too please ?

 

[jcjo]

@bkchristian Me too bruh pls send me the video too

 

[eagleswings144]

@soccergrl For anyone else interested in finding the video without having to spam /@bkchristian to dm it, at least for now, you can click over to his profile and the link will appear in one of his comments that has been moderated out of this thread. The video was short and helped me understand exactly what was described from the post above.

 

[aamyggirl]

@soccergrl Hey, I found OP's video. Here's the link.

@bkchristian When i do L sit my legs (around my knees) start shaking, its like i cant keep them straight, does anyone know how i could fix this?

 

[bkchristian]

@fostercarer Do the first and second exercises I mentioned in the post it should help
This is usually a strength problem so getting those muscles stronger is the solution

@bkchristian The secret to everything bodyweight-fitness is to just not be fat.
