L-SIT PULL UPS | Why The L-sit Makes Pull-ups Harder and Improves Gains!

[@steliost2217]

Remember trying these for fun while i could do 10 normal pull ups... 2 L Sit pull ups felt like an entire workout!!

Watching this after doing L sit pull ups. Usually i could do 30 in total for normal pull ups but with this i could only do half the reps. Truly one of the elite exercises.

Thanks for not adding music.

[@BackiP86]

Wow I didnt know it makes pullups more difficult, not only by addig extra tension on the abs/hip flexors but also through additional lat strech. That was an important message for me. Time to get back to Lsit pullups (if I am doing pullups unweighted 😄)

[@codymoore7841]

I'm so glad I found this channel. tyvvm bro....

[@rick2591]

This makes sense. I started l-sit pull-ups and chin-ups due to lockdowns. I can do about 10... Recently, I jumped on a thick swing set bar and did 20 pull-ups. This was despite the bar being so wide I could only hook my arms over the bar.

[@ADHDlanguages]

That's pretty damn good dude. Getting strong as hell 💪

[@rick2591]

@@ADHDlanguages Thanks, I found out that not having a "proper" setup for pullups during the coof was actually a positive. My pull rings are only about 3-4 ft off the ground. I had no choice but to either do lotus pullup (an injury prevented me from doing them this way) or L-sits.

[@JohnDoe-wo9xr]

So L-Sit pullups make regular normal pullups easier? I'm trying to increase normal pullup reps.

[@rick2591]

@@JohnDoe-wo9xr I have a set of rings in my basement and do not have enough room to do regular pull ups, so I started doing L-Sit (and recently V-Sit) pull ups. However, when I tried to do regular pull ups, I was able to do about 20 of them.

[@romisthenics]

This is the most powerful exercise I think you can do for your upper body…my opinion.

[@creativetraininghacks]

What the studies say coincides with my personal training experience: A good pre-stretch makes a rep harder but also more effective.

[@wilwaren8571]

A dynamic pre stretch or like the one in the video ? =0

[@victorstreet]

I might switch weighted pullups out for l-sit pullups and then weight them when I get strong enough. Mainly because in the winter I cant workout outside where I have my pullup bar so I have to use a squat rack which is pretty low to the ground. And besides that I have trouble in the bottom portion of the pullup anyway

[@chanv2624]

Okay representation come through!!! 🔥💕❤️

[@caseyalanjones]

This was very interesting, but I wish there had been more detail about what "opening" and "closing" the shoulders means. You show some examples which do give a vague intuition about it, but I still feel unsure that I really understand.

[@dariobones4587]

[@Nassim-sn4ny]

Hi bro, I have a question. What do you think, is the l-sit muscle up harder than a high bar muscle up (normal swing muscle) ?

[@psychedeliceuphoria]

Why it is harder to lock out my arms while doing L-sit pull ups? Also why does my shoulders cramp when hanging with an L-sit?

[@frazebean5117]

Possibly mobility issues?

[@emafrancisco1808]

Same here, i will try to improve shoulder mobility and warm up my shoulders/rotator cuffs before training

[@tstreino]

what is better to increase overall pulling strength? weighted L sit pull ups but only with 10kg or normal weighted pull ups with 20kg+ ?

[@TheHabibOfMankind]

I would add both. Maybe start with heavy normal pull ups then do bodyweight L pull ups

[@carlitosmac4430]

BEAUTIFUL VIDEO THANKS 🙏🏼 🌎

[@rj5822]

3-5 rounds 3 times a week of a modified CrossFit’s Cindy; 15 Reverse Lunges each leg, 10 Push Ups, 5 L-Sit Chin Ups.

[@evanmaclean943]

I just started with knees as I’m not flexible enough for L. But it’s so much harder. I was certain it had to do with the hip alignment and back. But it’s so much harder to start.

[@danielmillward9947]

I do the knee tucked ones aswell but after just 3 sets of super wide pull ups, getting 8 or 9 is torture

[@tylerpace6517]

I actually found L sit chin ups easier and less stressful. I do have some lower back arthritis I went into the L position naturally

[@Von.NorthEnd]

Same. I started feeling pain in my lower back. I put my legs up and it felt much better

[@phananh9609]

does tucked leg pullup stimulus lat more in some degree? I can have 15 pullup but hardly do L-sit. I over built my trap, rotator cuff, arm but not much in Lat. May be it can help😢.

[@ienjoyapples]

When someone says L-hang pull ups aren't harder I know they're half-repping. They're harder at the very bottom of the hang where the lats are stretched the most. If you don't go down all the way you won't notice the difference.

[@omegamanGXE]

Do you have Instagram? I just started these yesterday and would love if you evaluated my form

[@gersoncosta5260]

Great video.

[@GameFreekification]

So it clearly has an effect on the lats but does it change the level of demand on the biceps when doing chin-ups? Harder, easier, or is pretty much the same?

[@danielmillward9947]

Legs behind you with a wider grip means more upper back and rear delt work, l sit chins means more lower lat, abs and bicep work

[@darklight6921]

i underestimated how hard these would be.

[@rkidlat]

Excellent info

[@aduc92]

When I do L-sit pull, it is so much harder to go full range

[@danielmillward9947]

That's why it's so effective, more out of less weight 👍

[@quinnculver]

Thank you for the enlightening explanation. Would knee-up pull ups add the same lat stretch?

[@simonata6601]

Yep, same effect but to a lesser degree as they do not shift the centre of mass as far forward.

[@Asadc1995]

Doing these on a towel neutral grip 3 years ago got me a OAC negative good substitute for weighted pull ups due to the harder disadvantage leverage for the lats arms shoulders

[@finnconroy2668]

Extremely informative, quality shit.

[@xdflow021]

I don't know if it's harder but all I know is this is easy once you can hold L sit over 45sec and that's why I don't find if it's challenging for me😂. I will do this more often instead regular one thanks sir! by the way, I have a problem to get my legs stright line when muscle up I just love doin L sit then when I'm doing muscle up my legs always little like L-sit muscle up, would you mind explaining to me how can I get my legs stright line while muscle up? that'd be dope sir!🙏🏻.

[@ienjoyapples]

You're half repping. The pull is harder at the very bottom where the lats are stretched the most. Do full range of motion and you'll notice a big difference. It's very humbling.

[@eternallyviv]

Any reason why my right quad really hurts when i l sit? I developed this pain recently. Starts from the groin and radiates along the quad.

[@omegamanGXE]

Lack of mobility, you need to incorporate stretching to increase flexibility

[@OvertIntelligence]

How heavy do you recommend the weighted vest be forl L sit pullups?

[@carolinaarrendol9465]

I need to figure out why it feels much easier for me to do an L-sit chin-up than a regular one. I don't have great mobility in my shoulders, but I do have a strong core. For some reason, It feels like my legs are weightless when I'm in an L-seated position.

[@Nomad_786]

Same situation, I have no idea also. It should be a lot harder

[@HelloChunKi]

L sit pull up vs perfect pull up, what should I choose for hypertrophy 🤯

[@ghassan_alsalhi]

Choose L sit perfect Pull ups for strength and maybe for hypertrophy 🤔

[@solomon9507]

my l sit goes up and down when pulling up and down. why is that?

[@matteroror3747]

very interesting

[@mohammadsolaiman2662]

Does practicing L-sit pulls increase my max regular pull ups number in 1 set ??

[@emafrancisco1808]

It may increase by 1 or 2 reps but thats it, if you want to do like 25 pull ups in a row, you should do an endurance training

[@VanToffel]

But how can those be more effectful for muscle growth? Lets say the biceps for example, it should be the same amount of work if we do normal chin ups or L-sit chin ups. But normal ones you can get alot more reps which will be more work for the biceps.

[@omegamanGXE]

Good question

[@adamtheamazing4411]

for normal pullups you'll get more reps which is better for hypertrophy but once you get strong enough normal pullups will be too easy and you should start doing l sit or weighted to make it harder

[@VanToffel]

@@adamtheamazing4411 I agree on weighted but the L-sit Pull up I don't see why It should give more gains except in the core. We still move the same weight in our biceps.

[@meialua5178]

@@VanToffel It's not about weight, it's about mechanical tension, you can "simulate" weight by changing the center of mass, creating a more difficult leverage, therefore creating a "heavier" exercise, it is the same logic behind why full front levers are harder than a tuck, the weight doesn't change, but the lever does, creating mechanical tension with leverage
