The L-SIT

Position yourself between the parallel bars. Then lift yourself onto the bars, keeping your legs straight and toes pointed. Your arms should be straight. Don’t round your back or round your shoulders. Focus on keeping good posture.

The L-sit

I feel there is no more effective abdominal exercise than the L-sit; it utilizes all of the upper body and midsection muscles for stabilization and flexion. The key to its effectiveness is that it places the body’s weight further away from its center of mass, creating a challenge for the body to stabilize in this less than adequate lever. And the great thing about L-sits is that you can practice them anywhere, even on creek pipes!

Muscle-Ups

Muscle-up transition is probably the hardest part of this exercise. Lean back and pull-up like a ring row then shift your weight forward into a ring dip and you will have done a muscle-up.
