[@jonjon296]

Hi Dave, I started gymnastics aged 38! Your videos are my favourite as you explain everything so well. Thanks!

[@ddurante11]

Thank you! Keep up the work. Never too late to improve your gymnastics skills!

[@grenzle2428]

This is one of those videos you see, and you think “I should really be paying for information like this” lol

[@robn2497]

I wrecked my shoulders at work. Ever since a single KZbin video that fixed them after 2 weeks of a simple movement, I had the same realization.

[@the_sleepy_engineer]

@@robn2497 what was the movement?

[@alidalouisa4462]

You can buy his online program😁

[@fun2gether26]

This is an outstanding video! Like others who commented below, I feel like I need to mail a check to Mr. Durante. I'm 61 and have been working on getting stronger through calisthenics as opposed to throwing weights around. I appreciate what you've posted here! Rick

[@kazbrown5266]

This is cute!!!

[@kimbruns2084]

Thanks Dave, fantastic instruction! You’re right, I thought I was vertical on the paralettes and my wife told me I was still leaning forward. L-Sits...much tougher than they look!

[@the_culture3259]

Great video. I appreciate the longer more comprehensive format with progressions.

[@ddurante11]

Thanks!

[@mikemurphy4947]

Such a wonderful video, Dave. I just bought a pair of parallettes a few months back. However, only an Olympian can teach us about their benefits, in-depth. Since I am a newly certified personal trainer, this quite inspiring towards understanding different methods of development.

[@kylejenkins8830]

Exactly the video I was looking for, awesome points and guidance from a professional, so many videos missing this crucial information

[@kylejenkins8830]

Commented 3 minutes in and it just keeps getting better

[@PowerMonkeyFitness]

So glad you are enjoying this and finding it useful. Let us know if there are another other movements that youd like to see us tackle!

[@michaelfrandsen8006]

5k views, less than 300 likes? I think those numbers are about to change. Quality info, perfectly delivered, thanks.

[@01234567891111994]

People are more interested in bullshit talkers who talk shit and no interest in something good to learn. A trash talker will have millions of subscribers but a motivational speaker will have way less. It's the way of the world, a sad reality

[@partyfavors9238]

This guy explained this very well and it was concise. Because other videos I watched wasn’t clear enough.

[@alphapimp]

Amazing demonstration and important information. Thx for the help

[@PowerMonkeyFitness]

So glad you found some value here 🙏🏼

[@pretty9reenpark4]

Absolutely brilliant, the rower technique is genius.

[@ryanstaab51]

Excellent instruction !! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@PowerMonkeyFitness]

Thanks Em! So glad you found value here :)

[@michaelchapman6721]

Very good video. So many KZbinrs with wrong shoulder position showing L sits.

[@PowerMonkeyFitness]

Its a common struggling point for folks

[@thegiver9]

Excellent video! I love the explanation of the specific details vs. "just hold the position" type of training. I'll be using this to facilitate my progression. Thank you.

[@sasa3712]

[@jacknolan560]

Train with the hand placement how you intend to perform the skill. Wow, so simple I could never figure that out 😂 I’d always get confused as to how it should be, thank you for clarifying!

[@andersonneves6324]

i can only do the L-sit with my hip driving foward, whit my hips driving back i cant do it and i always tough i was wrong.

[@grantkiba7463]

Great Instruction! Thanks Dave. I also loved your press handstand video. Vert good instructions.

[@williamclark9442]

[@PowerMonkeyFitness]

[@PH-gm2qe]

[@5a035]

[@jadelsoueidi8019]

Sorry for not s só related question , what do you think about the ab wheel ( the one that attaches to the feet ) to improve shoulder capacity . Walking plants and such

[@horaciogonzalez4070]

God damn all that for L sit ups lol. Back to actually doing them with perfect form, I don’t know why KZbin showed me this. I thought I was doing them right god damn it

[@gallilos]

this is gold!

[@stefanbarnert2478]

Bravo !!!

[@franciscocabrera7842]

buen vídeo te escribo desde Ecuador

[@Mark-te8ky]

which parallettes are the best?

[@URSyNaToR]

wouldnt you prefer to relie on your muscle structure than ur locked out joint???

[@sevenhong5809]

Very informative!

[@strife2405]

My L-sit is weak in hold time and a full 90 degree. Does any one know which muscle I am weak in for this or need to strengthen to get a straighter and longer static hold? My max is 7-8 sec on P-bars and ground is 5 seconds. on the ground I have a more 90 degree. P-bars is weaker for me.

[@oliverlopez7600]

Wowwwwwwww... Awesome master 👍👍👍

[@meowlover1142]

This seems to be engaging the lats alot.

[@dfexdainfamous8194]

is it ok to do L sits almost every day?

[@Lylairl]

Hi guys, I've been trying to learn this skill for awhile, when I try to do anything with both legs off the ground I feel the tricep activation but it feels like all the weight is going onto them, and none onto my core; is this because I need to do more compression work? My triceps feel like they're going to explode after 2-3 seconds :(

[@PowerMonkeyFitness]

Thanks for the note. I would play around with different variations. It's great to know where optimal is in terms of triceps activation and correct positioning, but if you are looking to target a specific area, like the core, try some other methods of the l-sit. First, I would try hanging l-sit variations which will allow you to target the compression and remove the triceps activation. This could help focus the area of most need. Additionally, I would try "press hip raise" variations, which will switch the stress from the triceps/rear delt to the ant delt and allow for more compression focus. Lastly, if the triceps are fatiguing that quickly it is possible you can be doing more targeted exercises to get them stronger for this movement. Something like the extended crab rock on the rower would be a great exercise to incorporate as an accessory piece. You can find all of these exercises in our movement library. Hope that helps!

[@Lylairl]

@@PowerMonkeyFitness Thanks so much for the detailed reply, I will definitely try some of those other variations. You're awesome! :D

[@PowerMonkeyFitness]

Youre welcome!

[@francisg.matheu9445]

I have a question. Technically in terms of progression, which on the list should go on first, second and last? Planche, handstand, L-sit? Thank you in advance.

[@rinasunar7759]

For me it has been L sit, handstand and planche.

[@man94xxBIG]

I would recommend L-Sit, Pseudo-planche push-ups, Hand-Stand, and then the Planche.

[@1sddsd-t4c]

how long guys take to learn your L sit bcs i trian consistently 2 months and i still dont get it

[@PowerMonkeyFitness]

Its definitely a very challenging movement. How long are you able to hold it for right now?

[@junebinyamin4903]
