Floor L-sit check form

Hi everyone,

I can hold the floor l sit for just 5 seconds.
What I can see is that my shoulders are not completely depressed but I cannot do more than that at the moment, is it a lack of strength? Any other observations and suggestions to improve the form and strength?

With parallettes it seems a little better

Thank you

Just practicing more will help you depress more

Try it build up your l sit time throughout sessions

If you're starting with like 40s cumulative (4x10)

Work towards like 2 minutes cumulative

Slowly. Don't be doing 48 sets of 2.5s 😂

But adding more set to get more volume is good

Thank you @neat tiger
I just do a couple of preliminaries and only 2 sets of floor l sit and 1 set of l sit with parallettes because I do skill work before the BWSF routine.
Do you suggest to do more sets in order to accumulate 2 minutes total?

[neat tiger]

I don't know how much you're doing atm @flint wraith

But try to progressively overload

That means more total volume, more intensity, lower rests, the usual

No all at the same time, that'd be too hard lol

Ok i will try 💪

Thanks

I have a suggestion - if you can only do a five second L sit with good form, then perhaps tuck one leg and get more time under tension… Perhaps you can do 10–15 Seconds per hold?

The previous advice to get a total accumulated time of 120 seconds in a training session is wise, I did this as a Beginner.

So 10 x 12 secs, then 6 x 20, 4 x 30, 2 x 60,… you can adjust to your liking.

for the L-Sit, make sure that you have straight arms, full scapular depression, and one or both legs depending on the progression are completely straight with toes pointed forward , plantar flexion.
