Would you guys be down for a 30-day L-sit/V-sit/Manna challenge so we could motivate each other?

@fromgenesistorevelation I would be in. I can currently hold a 30second good form L-Sit so can work from there. I am also currently travelling so it would be good motivation to make sure i do something everyday.

@fromgenesistorevelation In. Definitely in.

 

[dawn16]

@fromgenesistorevelation Jup! Definitely in.

 

[joe_raymond]

@fromgenesistorevelation I'm down.

 

[dawn16]

@fromgenesistorevelation I'm coming back from a bad injury and need a challenge to kick start off my post recovery training

 

[neveah37]

@fromgenesistorevelation Sounds like fun! It would be a nice addition to my daily routine.

 

[ramw]

@fromgenesistorevelation I'll have to look up what an L sit is but I'm probably down to help with the cause.

 

[fromgenesistorevelation]

@ramw

 

[dawn16]

@fromgenesistorevelation Sign me up.
I can only do one legged supported on the floor but can do them on parallel bars. I am sure I could improve with motivation

@fromgenesistorevelation I'm in. I was literally just thinking last night I wanted to start working towards my v-sit.

 

[jbruns14]

@fromgenesistorevelation In!

 

[bababenny]

@fromgenesistorevelation Sounds good to me. I am down.

 

[dawn16]

@fromgenesistorevelation Yes; I need to work on it. Count me in!

 

[steph23]

@fromgenesistorevelation I don't know the details but I wanna participate as well. I've always been a fan of dragonflies or whatever Rocky does in Rocky IV

 

[shesadreamer]

@steph23 he does dragon flags in the movie. very different from the L-sit.

 

[steph23]

@shesadreamer They work the same muscle groups so I would say they aren't very different.

 

[fromgenesistorevelation]

@steph23 They don't really work the same muscle groups actually.

Do they both work abs? Sure, but there's so much more different things going on with those exercises.

The L-sit is all about hip flexion. But with dragon flags, the hips are totally open and the glutes (hip extensors) are active. You can't even flex the glutes in an L-sit cause the hip flexors are doing the work. The dragon flags don't have scapular depression going on. The l-sits don't tax the lower back the way dragon flags do. The lats are quite active in the dragon flags, but not as much in the L. Hope that helps clarify.

@fromgenesistorevelation Antranik?! You make the videos, no? I didn't realize you were OP. You are right, I was mainly referring them as an ab exercise. When's the challenge going to begin?
