💪 L-Sit Variations (Abs VS Triceps)

Which one is your favorite?👇🏽
Despite the L-Sit variation we perform, abs, hip flexors, triceps, and rear delts will ALL be working to a great degree. Here is a simple demonstration of 2 common types of L-Sit, what they emphasize, and what they are most useful for.
🔴 Closed L-SIT - it’s also known as compressed L-Sit. In this variation we push the hips back, and the shoulders forward (light protraction). Our spine also flexes more and there is a greater degree of compression. Because of this, abs and hip flexors will work harder than on a Opened L-Sit. This variation requires a lot more hamstring flexibility, but way less strength to perform. It’s useful to transition to planche, straight arm presses, and to build overall compression strength.
⭕️ Opened L-SIT - it’s also known as advanced L-Sit. In this variation we push the hips forward and the shoulders back (light retraction). Our spine stays relatively neutral and there is less degree of abdominal compression. Triceps (long head specially) and rear delts work harder due to increase in shoulder extension. This variation is way harder in terms of strength but requires much less mobility. It’s useful to build overall scapula strength, and work towards V-SIT and Manna.
💭 Which one should you train?
I’d aim to develop both types as both are useful in many instances. A very well developed compressed L-Sit will make all handstand presses so much easier, and training the advanced L-Sit will open the doors for more advanced progressions while building serious amount of strength. However, if you had to choose 1, the closed L-Sit is the best bank for your buck.
Additional questions bellow!
Appreciate you being here.
With Love,

We actually needed to know it Thanks❤️

[@Against_Gravity]

What about the Vsit? Is it better than open and close L-sit variations for both rear delts and abs?

[@unchartedvoices5449]

I'm loving this kind of short vids. Totally informative without saying a single word.

[@cheffmigelini4577]

Hope it's irony though

[@alenn08gamer82]

Btw for people who can’t do the L sit or don’t know everything that it works. It actually requires some insane lower abdominal strength and hips&quads strength

[@t.r.inight]

"insane" is a very big word...

I recently started doing these and I felt my body leaning back now I know there are two variations good to know

[@onepunchman7920]

Same brother, I was thinking why my lower back moves behind my arms

[@dochenyowargames4645]

Don't forget Pectorals (particularly inferior part) it works to sustain the hanging position especially pecialy during open L-sit.

[@randomassguy]

Bro thank you for this short and to the point. Been wondering why sometimes i feel it in my triceps and sometimes mi core.

[@alenn08gamer82]

Best L-sit form I’ve seen in a while

[@gravity_champs]

So simple and very good illustrated!!!

[@cobalt1197]

The amount of upper arm strength it must require to do this…

[@amosfwo4609]

It's the lower abs and hip flexors strength that is crazy.

HIS TRICEPS😍😍😍😍

[@kingfipsi]

The second one for triceps and rear delts is way easier for me. I would even say it is the only one I'm able to perform. Is the triceps & rear delts variation the overall easier variant?

[@SaturnoMovement]

The second one is actually the hardest one for “most people”. You are definitely strong in comparison to your flexibility (I would assume). Read the pin 📍 comment to understand a bit more 🙏🏽 - Gabo

These short videos are amazing, but make it at least 10-15 seconds. Humans take time to process the hell is going on in the video.

Is it possible to learn the closed L-Sit first and then turn it into an opened L-Sit over time? I'm not really strong and I have trouble learning how to do an opened L-Sit.

[@SaturnoMovement]

Absolutely possible! That’s what I did ☺️ - Gabo
