Yeah rings are a wierd one because they take all the advantages of parallettes but add the instability making them super difficult. Keep smashing it, man! 😁
Love the comparison of the two here!! Do you find l-sits on paralelltes is more difficult to know whether you are in the full L position without looking in a mirror / seeing a video. I imagine with more space to play with between you and the floor it's easier to think you are doing it correctly when your legs could be dropping slightly? 😊
yeah, you really can 'feel' like you're doing a full l-sit on parallettes but then you look back at a recording and your legs are bent, or your feet are too low. That's why reflection is so important 😁
Hi l saw your muscle up video . I can do 12 pull ups in a row but can't do the muscle ups Could you please tell me what size resistance band do i need to learn musle ups? My weight is 58 kg
So first of all, those are some solid pull up numbers - you should be proud of that 💪🏿 Given your weight, I would suggest going for a band that resists about 40KGs. 👌🏿 Let me know how it goes
The difference between the two is huge! I can lsit for ages on parallettes, but the moment I'm on the floor, it feels like my elbows are about to go on strike hehee
Personally I feel like I am a long way off of the floor L-Sit but have managed to hold an L-Sit on my low/dip bars for a good solid 5-8 seconds. I find it strange that I seem to be able to hold it for longer when hanging from the bar. Why is this? My theory is core strength, which I know I lack right now.
You might not be as far off as you think based on what you have said here. 5-8 seconds is a decent hold time! I have a video on 'improving L-sit mobility' that I think you'd get a lot of value from. In answer to your great question on hanging vs p-bars (parallel bars): if you think about the muscles being worked in an l-sit, you have the spinal flexors (most obviously the rectus abdominis) and the hip flexors. We know that our muscles are generally strongest at their MIDDLE length, well on p-bars, both the hip flexors and the spinal flexors are at the SHORTEST length because the are fully contracted. But when we hand from a bar, we have a bit of spinal extension, which gets the muscles closer to their middle length hence why it is easier. End range strength is so important in calisthenics p.s. apologies for the essay. I love this stuff and could talk about it for days!
@@CaliToTheCrowd cheers dude. That was more of a response than I was expecting for which I am most grateful. :) I enjoy your content a lot and will view the aforementioned video again. Thanks.
I love that this is the first skill you learned and now you can pull it off so casually. Crazy inspiring bro
glad you enoyed it man
the quality of your videos is so on point. I want you to have more subscribers so badly!
haha thanks
Love it, just started with the l sits on floor. Don't have paralettes, and rings are a bit too much right now

great topic
Thanks Al!
Thanks for sharing. Very useful as always.
Peace 🙂
Cheers Matias! Still in shock by your planche game 📈💪🏿

Can you do a video on your favourite handstand exercises 😁
I have so many 😅 may turn into a series

The l-sit is one of the most underrated calisthenics skills in my opinion
for real! loads of strength and mobility needed
All my joints hurt so badly when I do L-sit on the floor like elbows wrists and even knees 😥
conditioning should never be overlooked 💪🏿 take a look at my L-sit elbow pain video, you may find some great nuggets in there 😁
I can L-sit on parallettes - I'm about to go and try this out now - pray for my wrists
🙏🙏🙏
Watching this made me want to start working on my abs 🥲
haha I'd like to thank my parents, and the phenomenal lighting 🔦

haha they probably will, if you don't condition them! You've got this!
