L-sit progressions

[riseagainst82]

Im not sure if this is the best place to post this question so if not please let me know and I will re-post else where. Today I did all my testing on static holds so I can determine how long my sets should be for working out. The only exercise I really struggled with was the L-sit on the floor. I could not hold this at all and could only hold the L-sit tuck progression for around 10 seconds. I made myself a pair of parallets and when I use them I can hold a straight leg L-sit for around 10-15 seconds.

My question is should I stay with the L-sit on floor in the tuck position for my workouts or would it be better to do the full L-sit on the parallets? I feel like I should continue with the floor work because for me its much harder. Will doing them on parallets help my floor work or is it the other way around?

I don't think you want to be doing tucked L-sit on floor. Find something raised enough to do them with thighs parrallel to the floor, then you can move onto the next straight leg progressions.

I'm doing the tuck progression too and I do mine with my small parralletes at the top of my strairs facing down them so there is room for me to bend my legs

Any reason for not doing the tuck L-sit?

Thanks, the bars at the top of the stairs is a great idea.

Tuck L-sit is great but I think it will be too hard on the floor to start with. The book shows the tucked variation with thighs parrallel to the floor on parallel bars. That's why I recommended the parallettes on the stairs thing to simulate the ground clearance of parallettes to make it an easy starting progression. This will be good to build up time.

Hope that helped, if there is anything unclear just say
