L-Sit - Parkour Training and Conditioning Exercise

[pivotiano]

Is it ok if, for flexibility reasons i can't fully extend my legs and so i keep them bent?

[DemonDrills]

@pivotiano yes, but work on your pike stretch so that you can keep them straight eventually.

[pivotiano]

@DemonDrills Alright, thanks :)

[sobeski18lesko]

Every time i try that my thighs cramp hard.

[Peitschenhiebe]

Please do the next vids shirtfree!

[CristianGMinimal]

hot to trian this?

[gamerfourm217]

@qwiboh Oh, I've lost ten pounds already

[gamerfourm217]

But what if you're 230 lbs., 12 years old, and need to do a beginner drill? Oh, and I can't do more than 1 push-up without changing positions and can't do any pull-ups.

@gamerfourm217 Do L-sits with your feet tucked, knees to chest. This reduces the leverage and makes the exercise easier. As you get stronger, work on straightening your legs out.

@ApexMovement Hiw can I develop an l-sit abs workout? Should I do a whole bunch of sits for time, or should I do sets of reps in which I tuck and extend my legs, or what? Thx for any tips.

[ApexMovement]

@rmsolympic1 If the full l-sit is too hard, you can develop it by starting with a tucked l-sit. Do 3-5 max holds each day and you should see some nice, fast progress.

[rmsolympic1]

@ApexMovement Thanks for that! Yeah, I happened to have just started doing what you suggested.

[SOCOMSoldier01]

I love doing these workouts. Anyone know that song btw?

[ApexMovement]

@SOCOMSoldier01 who am i by peace orchestra.

[Lobo1888]

this is ab killer, who needs a gym? haha

I love your vids, many people often forget what parkour is, how you need to prepare your body for long terms, to avoid injuries and possible pain.

[JHK892]

This is way harder than it looks!

[NoobsxRxUs]

Lol, I can only do it for like 10 seconds

[MrArbitrager]

haha i dont get how a vid of 1 l-sit gets 9.5k views...

[Bouddhabuzz]

I used to do it for a minute, now I struggle doing it for 30sec, I'll have to train again.

[Bl1ndarknes]

it kills doing those omg :o

[SuperSenpaiMKZ]

LMAO i never knew they had p-bars in the park must be alot of gymnasts in the area oh man thats awesome :]

[EpiDot52]

I just watched your videos and you have some good music.

[VlCKREY]

Hah, shit and i thought I was being original, I do this in my computer chair when waiting for a download (I download a LOT)

[InMythxGodIsForce]

lol nice

[grzedzic]

@VlCKREY

Lol I got the same

[chumarrin]

heh, its great im on a gymnastics team, i can use all that equipment because i dont have all these damn parks near me, just cement, which is not good to try something for the first time on :S and i can do this with my arms fully extended into an iron cross on the rungs lol

[stetteo]

l-sit & v-sit aren't very difficult but you have to train for a month at least.

[kimaz50]

i just can hold for 10sec LOL

nice vid

[DemonDrills]

a 1-2 minute L-sit is a great goal to shoot for. Get there and you will have developed very useful and solid core stability.

[AlphaXQ]

are you in gymnastics??? :D

[DemonDrills]

Nope!

[RandJordan]

My sister is and she laughed when she saw me watching this video. :P

[NDzibyrules]

@DemonDrills how are you able to put your legs straight out? is that a flexibility issue? what can i do to help that?

[DemonDrills]

@NDzibyrules its either strength or flexibility. start with bent legs and over time, progress to straighter. work on your pike stretch also.

[NDzibyrules]

@DemonDrills lmao k thanks

[SpasticLizard]

surely useful, but hard as hell after a bit...
