How to L-Sit Minus the Gym: First of all, the floor L-sit is the hardest..." Me:"ah, I recognize my mistake."

So accurate.

[@FrancescoFrancesco-ci3dt]

I've done my first l-sit hold on the floor couples of days ago following this tutorial. It feels amazing

[@MinusTheGym]

Congrats! The floor L-sit is no easy feat 👏 💪

[@OsmiumFist]

Nice digs man. I like your videos very much. As a beginner I see way too many videos that are too advanced. You must build up strength, flexibility and wrist strength slowly or you'll just get injured or lose heart. Your keeping it realistic.

[@MinusTheGym]

Dr Phil thanks! And yeah, I totally agree with you. A lot of channels use advanced skills as clickbait, but your assessment is spot on - you have to take it slow and enjoy the journey or else you won't last in calisthenics. I'm glad you found my channel :)

[@susanapplegate9758]

Late to this video but WOW, I so much appreciate your very down to earth info. I learn so much every time I click on your video…I’m 66 and training for a Spartan race in 2022. You are a big part of that!

[@eatyourveggies4469]

I have been watching many other Calisthenic training videos. I have been really interested in getting started but found it hard to follow other videos that go from 0 to 100. I can't speak for others but I love how descriptive and realistic your videos are. I am training myself to do the L-sit and let me tell you, I have been trying to do the seated one thinking it was the easier one based on other videos! It's no wonder I can't do it hahaha I will keep going and start with the hanging. Keep the videos coming!

[@CaptainRhodes]

I remember trying for this one months ago before discovering this channel and I got to the full tuck 4:12 . I'm glad I haven't lost that strength so here I am again trying to improve it.

[@NajeebOneHeartOneBeat]

I love this channel! Everytime I have beginner related your my go too. Building a strong base is my goal right now so thank you very much.

[@evamaria1976]

I discovered your channel by searching animal flow movements and you have the best tutorial in all internet as you teach each movement step by step and with easy explanations and demos. As a teacher I can tell you that you are extremely good pedagogue. I am so happy I found you and can follow your channel. Was wondering if you do online classes in private or groups too.

[@samcalisthenics78]

I love finger tip L and V-Sit. My longest hold was 43 sec. I am 46 years old and 1 year in Calisthenics/Street Workout. I love Calisthenics/.Street Workout. My goal was the Maltese 💪🏽. I appreciate your content 🥳🙌🏾. Greetings from a Calister from Germany 😁✌🏾

[@desuordie4856]

Holy shit. I knew my bar L sits were garbage for weeks but i couldnt figure out why. But once you pointed out protract then tuck it all came together. Man youre amazing

[@thetraveller3545]

Your house looks amazing!!!

[@DAdam-fo1md]

The best video about it I ever saw. All your videos are great!

[@simondowell5627]

I just received my new Parallettes and Rings and wanted to learn how to use them safely and with good form. I have checked out a few of your videos and they are exactly what I am looking for so thank you very much 🙏

[@MinusTheGym]

Glad you found me! Have fun with the equipment. Rings and parallettes are all you need.

[@TellMeWorld]

Thanks! Just posted my progress from 0 to 10 seconds holding the L-sit. Your tips helped

[@VivekPalat]

Your progression videos on Handstand helped me learn it.Thanks a lot : )

[@raigs9484]

This is great :). I have had shoulder issues for a number of years (pain plus winged scapula). Saw a few doctor's, two physios and a osteo. But have decided to take a mix of all their advice and do my own research. Been doing banded external rotation, scapula pull ups, push up plus (also legs + lower core + stretches) and have finally been feeling great. So I thought the L sit will help train the shoulder movement that's missing. It's great to have a resource like this, so I reduce the chances of hurting myself haha thanks!

[@ginomartelli5371]

WOW ! All I got to say is U nailed it perfectly! and a very precious moment with your baby amazing ! thank U your a breath of fresh air

[@richbonanno4768]

Hi Ryan, this is excellent instruction. I wish that another KZbinr who is teaching on beginning parallelettes. It was way out of my league. This natural progression is great. Thanks a lot.

[@vt6spd]

L Seat is my fav. Good stuff! Keep this going. I also do L seat pullups.

[@emilyadams6831]

Thank you for showing the bad and good forms, I always worry if I'm keeping my body safe through progressing my workouts.

[@MinusTheGym]

Glad it was helpful! And yeah, it's always better to play it safe when you push your limits. Thanks for the comment, Emily 😊

[@jonathanweiner1002]

new to the channel. love the progression exercises. My only addition comment is regarding the hamstring stretch exercises. There are tons of videos out there the teach "active stretching" for the hamstrings. I would highly recommend others to watch them if they want to improve hamstring flexibility. I have never found passive stretching to be helpful to my body.

[@asmodae50]

Thanks from France 😊🇫🇷

[@KolbyML]

I got the L sit from the ground in 2 weeks. I found my biggest issue was flexibility so most of my practice was touching the ground and doing tucks on boxes. After that I could touch my full hands to the ground without bent knees and do a L sit.

[@tigerboy4516]

[@Charlie_Waffles]

My legs dont drop to the ground.. they get pulled down by gravity..that bitch! XD lol ..floor really is the hardest.. i feel like my arms are too short 😂

[@MinusTheGym]

Charlie Waffles lol same here, man. The floor version is the hardest! And if I don't train it for a while, I start to lose it. It's a very specific skill.

[@jockjunior7923]

I wish you have shown us how the scapular movement contract and retract during the hanging L-sit

[@iSwearToCod]

it’ll somewhat make you lean back a little

[@Iskefisk]

I have been trying to learn the L sit for over a year now, nothing works i think i have wasted 60+ hours trying to learn it. I just cant have my back strait and my butt is sticking out, i am 6,4 feet tall can that maybe be a problem? Plis help i do want to this right and not waste anymore time, trying to learn this. I do want to learn this so bad but nothing works…. Plis help😢

My hip flexors hurts when I do the full tuck from a hanging bar

[@marloncampbell4708]

If you can't extend legs out, is this associated with weak hip flexors?

[@HPhatPatH]

Hey can you do a video on l-sit dips?

[@eduardoguadarrama375]

Beautiful home. What do you work in?

[@mica3lp3r3ira]

Need some help man, maybe you can answer my question. When I'm raising one leg at the time I noticed that going from full tuck to extend one leg I can raise more the right one than the left one. (Difference about 15 cm) .. Do you know why is that? Someone ever felt the same? Cheers from Portugal

[@azimmey]

You are awesome

[@hsjasmap]

I still think my arms are too short to do a floor L sit, yes i still lack of some core and hip flexors strength but i can only clear my butt off when i am on my knuckles

[@frenchmontana961]

I know what you mean, dude. I used to think so too. Turns out, my shoulders were just too weak to push myself all the way up. Do dips and do shrugs on a bar (like you shrug with dumbbells, but push yourself up on dip bars)

[@hsjasmap]

@@frenchmontana961 thanks for your insight, I will definitely give it a go!

[@frenchmontana961]

Good luck on your journey, bro

[@samtrigger1017]

3:50 using paralletes for this exercise :D little bit overweight so its hard to get mah butt into the air if ya know what i mean

[@Vanessa-fj2rv]

where could I get a pair?

[@yz249]

I can do one heel on the floor for around 45 seconds, but can only hold the full tuck for about 1-2 seconds-any advice?

[@arunrdas2472]

Thanks for the Tutorials ...... Can you please suggest me a budget dip station available on Amazon ?

[@Evensy2]

Does your upper left side of your back suppose to hurt?

[@MinusTheGym]

Evensy Sam no, it shouldn't. Focus on the 1st progression and gradually building strength in your scapular protraction and depression. Wouldn't also hurt to see if you have any imbalances in your scapular region. That might be the case since it's only one side. My shoulder impingement routine video has exercises that can help balance things out for the upper back, if that's the case.

[@Evensy2]

Thank you, I can do an L sit V tuck on the dip bar and table, but when it comes to the ground it hurts when I hold it for 4-5 sec. (it hurt to the point where I'm taking a deep breath that muscle hurt). Again thank you for your respond!!

[@LPFan33]

Nice video

[@sekutofu6471]

that helped me alot , i mean alooooot

[@kidathlete]

So I was able to hold an L-sit for 5 seconds... But on the ground. I can't seem to do it on the rings my legs don't get high enough

[@paperwings8673]

I've been stretching my hamstrings on a daily basis for weeks but they just don't seem to loosen up... it's quite frustrating.

[@MinusTheGym]

PaperWings I share the same frustration. It's a slow process. Have you tried using a foam roller? Like this amzn.to/2GR3gvH Sit your thighs on it and roll your hamstrings back and forth right before you stretch. It'll break up knots in the fascia and get better blood flow to the muscles. Foam rolling definitely had the biggest impact on my flexibility progress. Try to do it daily for best results.

[@dynasty4851]

What is up with that old A.C unit? Upgrade time!

[@MinusTheGym]

dynasty4851 Yes. And we need a new roof too 😳

[@brunoserpa1130]

I can do floor L-sits that suppose to be harder but I can't do floor tuck sits hahaha

[@mitchlacasse361]

I'm 260lbs, thinking of getting a pull up bar, but, I'm afraid of whether it can hold my weight

[@MinusTheGym]

Mitch Lacasse check the product description details on the bar before you buy. They usually say how much weight they're rated for. Doorway pull up bars might be a no go, but look into wall-mounted pull up bars. I think they're rated for a lot of weight when mounted properly.

[@traderpapertiga]

I have yet to do this at Tesco 😂

[@jeffnosanov5761]

Do you train L-sit every day, or every other day or what?

[@MinusTheGym]

Jeff Nosanov 3x per week or so. You need rest days between for recovery.

[@jeffnosanov5761]

@@MinusTheGym How much time each day? Just keep doing it to failure?

[@MinusTheGym]

Jeff Nosanov 5 sets of your current progression is good. You can throw in a couple sets of regressions too. For example, doing 5 sets of 1-leg extended, then finishing off with a set or two of tuck or floor assisted. Also, you can include this as just part of your routine. So the l-sit work would be the "push" portion of an upper body or full body workout.

[@iSwearToCod]

[@rexfarell]

I can't keep my legs straight , why?

[@Blingoose]

Tight muscles (hamstring for example) or weak abs. Stretch and keep working on the basics until you can hold them.

@@Blingoose I see the problem now, I'll start to stretch then, ty.
