[Sick3ninVend3tta]

Hey Bear, How long did it take you, (training) time wise to hit the 34 second L-Sit hold?. 6 months-year?.

[bongobear43]

@Sick3ninVend3tta Hey, if I remember correctly it took me about 7-8 weeks. When I started I could struggle through 10 secs. I started training 3 times a week. In about 2 months I got to 34 secs. I haven't been training it for over a year now. I just tried one now to see how long I could hold it and hit 34 secs again. I'm a bit surprised about that.. I didn't think my strength would still be there.

[Sick3ninVend3tta]

@bongobear43, Anyway, good job man. I can't of think of many exercises, if not any, more effective at utilizing the abs & hip flexors, than the L-sit.

[ganon893]

@bongobear43 Yeah man I've been training too.. Weightlifting strength leaves you. This strength stays with you for a really really really long time. Its amazing. 

[monkula84]

zelda soundtrack? xD

[popshovince]

Nice !! I love the song :D

[Od3ri]

That's sick man, I can only hold it for like 15 seconds. :D

Ever tried walking while L-sitting? Hard as fuck. :D

And also, L-sit to frog stand to L-sit to frog stand etc. :D

[preyfan]

i learned the frog stance today ,but this is still way to hard for me .

I guess i need more flexebility and stronger abs to do this.

[Dark515Rogue]

wow! 34 seconds is really good!

I die after 10 seconds lol xD

[jonboomheadshot]

Nice I'm working up to the l-sit push-ups

[ThePwnerz]

Remember to breathe dude. Your muscles need that oxygen !

Otherwise its pretty good. Keep it up (;

[byakuyakuchiki7]

ahaha the first time i ever timed my l-sit i got 34 seconds too! xD

[RookieN08]

i am able to do it

this has nothing to do with the length of your arm

its about how far can you lift your hips

[pinkmouse420]

luv the zelda music!

[bongobear43]

Hahah... Well one way to do it is to try it on a chair or a bench. That way you can bend your legs. So you should still be in a sitting position, but only your hands are supporting you. Over time, start straightening your legs until they are parallel to the ground. Once your reach this level you should be able to to it on the floor.

Hope that made sense.

[vincentr248]

yep it makes sense :p thank you

[therealorberon]

are you suppose to be holding your breath during the duration? cause you seem to be.

what about to strengthen the legs for this occasion? any conditioning for that. thanks. very strong l sit you got thee.

[kettleswing]

Set 2 chairs or dumbells up. Get in between 2 cabinets or fences. The easier way to do this is to tuck one leg or both.

[vintagemetal]

@vincentr248 Struggled with that same problem. Just experiment with hand placements, probably you have to place them more forward, and start easy with a tucked sit. Good luck

[greedsb1tch]

great work man. i'm working on this lol, i want to do planche pushups real bad dude. awesome strength 5*****

[barowuni]

@greedsb1tch

l-sit helps on planche pushups?

[greedsb1tch]

core strength. i added this to increase strength and endurance. now i could only hold it for 10 seconds :/ but getting there

[gpnn123]

that shit is hard!

[astrodremr]

hahaha i like all your music choices =]]

Good luck w/ all yr goals!

[303sk8er]

zelda song

[b0tm4st3r]

haha perfect music, instant 5 stars for it ;)

very nice l-sit also...  im looking forward to new videos of your progress, as i am nearly at your level... well... nearly ^^

[bongobear43]

Thanks man! I try to upload some videos at the end of each month..

You should post up some of your training :D

[b0tm4st3r]

nah... not yet. there will only be comments like "why u puttin such shite on youtube" or sth. like that ;) maybe in some months, i´ll tell you then ^^

btw, i noticed an H&K amp in the background in one of your vids. you play the bass ? i play the guitar :D great

[bongobear43]

Haha yeah, actually I play the guitar :D. It is my sister's bass amp. I borrowed it because I don't have a guitar amp and I wanted to see what my gat sounded like through it. It's not really working tho.. I play a bit of bass as well too.

[withoutamartyr]

Is... is that Kokiri Village?

[bongobear43]

Nearly, it's Link's house. I think the music is used in other places too, I can't remember where tho.

[matthewmovement]
