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

@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.
