Tutorial: How to Do an L-Sit

How to progress from the most basic of L-Sit variations to the V-Sit.
I would recommend going to gymnasticbodies.com and looking on the forum for supplementary reading. I would also advise any who is serious about BW strength training to look into buying Coach Sommer's book, Building the Gymnastic Body.

thanks

@jloo222 I remade the video. Not really any new info, just in 1080p. Just thought I would let you know. How is your l sit coming along?

[jloo222]

this may be a dumb question but what exactly do you mean by 'push the hips forward'. do you mean to try and lift them up while your legs are extended straight out? im failing at 'pushing' my hips

[matthewmovement]

@jloo222 By push the hips forward I mean you need to actively try to move them forward with your shoulder muscles. Try leaning back too.

I'll make a short video this weekend that explains it a bit more.

@MMAElite101 Plug it in where you can. 2-4 times a week is pretty easy.
