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

[fromgenesistorevelation]

@steph23 Soon.

 

[fechtforcharlie45]

@fromgenesistorevelation I can't even hold a proper L-sit and know it's something I should work on, I'm in.

 

[littleislandgirl]

@fromgenesistorevelation Along with many others; I'm In.

Now, when do we start / what's the protocol from here?

 

[fromgenesistorevelation]

@littleislandgirl I'll post something fresh tomorrow with the deets.

 

[markz11]

@fromgenesistorevelation I'm in too. I finally got to a 30 second tuck L sit today, so I'm pretty excited. I just wish I could keep my knees together. :-/

 

[fromgenesistorevelation]

@markz11 As you move toward tucking less, the knees will come together so it's okay!

 

[frank123]

@fromgenesistorevelation YES

I find it difficult to stretch ny legs out though.

 

[aceaxes]

@fromgenesistorevelation Oh hell yes

 

[seangibbons]

@fromgenesistorevelation Not really big on competitions, but it seems like a good idea to motivate people so it should be done.

 

[el6746a]

@fromgenesistorevelation I'm keen, keep me posted please.

 

[pisos]

@fromgenesistorevelation Yay

 

[aravalon]

@fromgenesistorevelation i find that a) my arms arent long enough for me to get into an l-sit on the floor, i can do it just fine using parallel bars, and also by elbows hurt quite a bit when im trying to do them on the floor, suggestions?

 

[fromgenesistorevelation]

@aravalon The problem with the bars are that you don't have to depress the shoulders to get your feet up. So the floor forces you to press the shoulders down. Have you tried putting a book or something minimal to elevate your hands just enough to help you press down? Your ability and range to press down will increase with time.

 

[aravalon]

@fromgenesistorevelation yep i have used dumbbells to elevate myself a little higher, works well but still get pain in the elbows. im pretty sure my lower traps are strong enough to get that depression, will keep trying.

 

[fromgenesistorevelation]

@aravalon Ah yea, the elbow pain, I am actually unsure what to suggest for that. Is it cause they hyperextend?

 

[daydreamer143]

@fromgenesistorevelation So down. My L-sit is where I have seen the least amount of progress since I started (6 months). I have been at 40 second tuck sit on the ground for a good 3 months

 

[galiaw]

@fromgenesistorevelation I'm game

 

[dawn16]

@fromgenesistorevelation I'm in.

 

[agapelove85]

@fromgenesistorevelation I'm at the very beginning of the L-sit totem pole. I'm just now able to hold 3x30 seconds foot-supported, although I couldn't make it past 20 before cramping today. I had some PT work so my muscles are raw!

I'm definitely down to participate, but my next progression is only 1-foot supported L-sit.

 

[dawn16]

@fromgenesistorevelation Yes
