L-Sit: how to do it and form tips

An isometric hold where the body forms an L-shape with legs straight out while supported on parallettes, dip bars, or the floor. Builds extreme core and hip flexor strength.

Form tips

  1. Support on parallettes or dip bars with arms fully extended and locked out.
  2. Lift your legs to hip height, keeping them straight and pressed together.
  3. Compress your hip flexors hard and brace your entire core — a 5-second hold is excellent.
