Even though I can hold my V/I sit for 20 seconds or so, I've learned a lot from this. You've got the most legit explanations and tips for learning this skill man.

[@AQWorldsOmmiiT]

This is a very detailed list of progressions and tips for the V-Sit. You just earned yourself another subscriber!

[@sidpaulson1]

That's awesome, happy to have you on the channel! :)

[@ChamodiAWeerasinghe]

First time I came across one of your videos... Great job ! Love the video quality and how easily you put out the instructions in such a short period of time .

[@sidpaulson1]

Thank you! 💪

[@cgdata9213]

Awesome! Holding L sit for 30 sec and I thought that V is only an ab thing, but flexibility is of importance also, thank you for the vid!

[@sidpaulson1]

Happy to help! Flexibility is often neglected in terms of learning the V-Sit!

[@dmd7472]

This is incredible. So clear

[@sidpaulson1]

Thanks, I appreciate it!

[@neoki75]

I just discovered how much is this going to help my press to handstand if I got V-Sit before. Thanks for sharing, @sidpaulson

[@sidpaulson1]

You are welcome!

Awesome tutorial dude! i have searched long time for a good v-sit tutorial video and here i found it!

[@sidpaulson1]

Thanks man. Happy you like it. Have you tried all the exercises?:)

[@Michael_2499]

I've tried some of them yesterday and it was useful! how much did it took you to get the perfect v-sit?

[@sidpaulson1]

Awesome. Happy you found it useful. I can’t say exactly, it’s not been constant training for it, I’ve had many different periods of training for the V-sit.

[@wuggi8603]

Bravo!

[@sidpaulson1]

Thanks Florian!

[@PauloVG]

Do I have to do all the flexibility exercises? Do I have to do flexibility and compression every day?

[@sidpaulson1]

I would aim for 1-2 sessions per week of compression strength.

[@me9061]

This video is amazing and what I was looking for! Thank you!

[@sidpaulson1]

Glad it was helpful!

[@JediKnight1007]

Awesome vid man you really killed it. I just discovered your channel today and took a look at some of your other vids after this one. They were very informative as well. This vid is what got me going though. I even liked the background music :) Subscribed!

[@viviennevogtlin3894]

Awesome tutorial!! How many v-sit tuck walks should I do? And how long will I have to practice until I'm able to do the V-sit if I do the exercises three times a week?

[@sidpaulson1]

I would do as many as you can with proper technique. Difficult to say 😊

[@vaibhavjain3234]

Very nice and detailed video Thank you.

[@tiggerthegreeb]

Awesome video Sid. Really enjoy the videos you are making very informative and to the point. Makes for some good learning. V-sit has been a goal of mine for a while now but I ventured off into flexibility once I worked on my pike and got lost doing leg mobility. Maybe it's time to work on compression and strength movements again! Keep it up!

[@sidpaulson1]

Thank you Richard. That's my goal, to bring you guys value:) Yes it's all a balance between the different components. Good luck with your training!

Puedes hacer un tutorial de V-sit Rings? Saludos! Muy buen contenido el tuyo!

[@sidpaulson1]

Thanks for watching.

[@shadesonsurfer]

've got the L sit from floor for about 30 seconds before I start shaking like an earthquake, so figure i can spice things up w/ the v sit....gonna be doing the flexibility and compression circuit for a while

[@sidpaulson1]

Yes, let me know how you get on!

[@gaussandres1988]

As usual I really enjoy your videos. Can you please maje a Tutorial about kip in the rings

[@sidpaulson1]

Do you mean kip to support/L-sit?

[@shivamparkour9434]

really good

[@sidpaulson1]

Thanks!!

[@PauloVG]

would the last progression be training the swing?

[@sidpaulson1]

Yeah you can do that too. It’s more dynamic, so it will be more flexibility focused.

[@eagleeyemind4800]

Hell yeah

[@sidpaulson1]

🤛🤛

[@TR-ul4rm]

I didn't know that the L sit was in a retraction of the scapulas I thought that you suppose to use Protraction and Hollow body, can you tell me what's the difference between those two?

[@omarsawalha149]

when you retract its what they call an advance L- sit or a perfect one you push your chest out and retract your scapula a protraction is fine but its easyer that way

[@TR-ul4rm]

Omar Sawalha oo ok thanks :)

[@omarsawalha149]

AirPlayer youre welcome

[@davidmaster8254]

Should I train v-sit or Straddle L, I after mastering L-sit?

[@sidpaulson1]

That is a good idea if you want to learn that skill!

Hi Sid, Thanks for the video, you've earned a new subscriber. :) I'm new to calisthenics and gymnastics and need to buy paralettes. Could you please tell me which one you used in this video, or the diameter and length of the pole so that I can make my own? I have parallel bars, but need something close to the ground for handstand progressions etc... Thanks Flow

Hello 🤝 I am kind of trapped. My gymnastics coach gave me a lot of different exercises to achieve the "high angle" element. Over the course of 2 months, the number of repetitions has not increased even once, that is, not at all. Please tell me, should I ignore the number, continue training, is the number not a criterion in my case?

[@sidpaulson1]

I think the duration of the holds are less important. Generally I believe in shorter holder (5-10 seconds) simply because it’s such an intensive movement. It’s hard to progress the difficulty with too long holds.

[@very9000]

[@sidpaulson1]

I would focus on shorter holds for the V-Sit. It's a very intensive skill, and so i have found that longer holds are not as effective. I would hold it for 10-15 seconds at most.

[@very9000]

@@sidpaulson1 You mean I don't have to lift my legs at all, just hold them?

[@hieumai364]

Should i stretching before or after workout

[@sidpaulson1]

I do dynamic stretches before the workout, and more thorough passive/loaded/active stretching after the workout.

what is the brand of the parallettes he is using ? I want to buy myself some. Or build some myself.

Hey man, how many times should I do that workout for V-sit with pike stretches included in my workouts ?

Do them around 2-3x per week! :)

Excuse me! Because I have "Disc herniation" ! I can do it ? I'm chinese english not good ! Forgive me...

I believe so. Although I don’t have any personal experience with disc problems. So I can’t say for sure.

Execuse me,achieve pike stretch first and train pike press later or i can train them at the same time cause i have some difficult when i lift my leg on pike press routine ??

shoulders retracted? not protracted?

[@sidpaulson1]

Depends! I like to focus on retraction in the V-sit because of the transferability to the Manna! It just focusing on the V-sit I would do protracted!:)

V stand is tiny aka oud v burner then a big balloon v shaped as an owl “waterproof white trainers”

Whaaat?

Could you suggest any books I could use to help with my beginner stages of gymnastics

Don't really know many books for gymnastics. Maybe ''Overcoming Gravity'' :)

Sid Paulson thank you. I will pick it up today and start my journey

[@Dhundahl]

www.goodreads.com/book/show/8651755-building-the-gymnastic-body But in my opinion you can learn a lot more from watching video tutorials. It's often complicated to describe how to perform an exercise. Its easier to show it.

Hey bro, I am not good at English but I wanna question something. What should I do to be more flexible? For instance, I wanna learn V-sit and my problem is only flexibility. And I also want to learn the splits. I should focus on V-sit first and then train to splits or I can do both together?

Does this kinda exercise work for girls? Like I'm pretty sure guys have different muscle composition and distribution than girls right...

I think it will works with girl cause i have saw a woman do a v-sit,so yeah it will works but it will take longer time for girls to achieve this compare to men

Sakura Christine Ito if you start thinking so you will never archieve it. You just need to work a lot😉

This works perfectly well for girls. Yes guys and girls can have different muscle compositions.. But this doesn't really change anything, the process is still the same to learn skills like these.
