This exercise also helps when ur too tall for the pull up bar. I'm lucky I accidentally got a short pull up bar which forced me to do pull ups like these.
Thanks for the great material. Four months ago my arms shook hanging on the bar. Yesterday I did five pull-ups, shooting for ten by September. Thanks again, love you vids!
@@vaselineturt.9726 Thank you very much. I was shocked after doing a Google search that said the majority of ppl couldn’t do any. This channel was my inspiration, you guys make it look so easy. 😎
This is the most insane video I've seen from you guys, such incredible editing, such detailed information, such dedication to the finer details. This has inspired me so much to make my videos better, thank you so much for everything you've done for me, I tell everyone about how life changing your workout program is
I don't know why, but this is the way I've done about 90% of the pullups i've ever done. Started a few years ago... I actually find it a weird feeling when I do regular pullups.
I do L-sit pull & chin-up because my home pull-up bar is not high enough to do it with strait legs. Since then I increased a lot my pull-ups on regular bar! Thanks for the good content guys !
This is a great exercise. I usually do it with Angles90 grips. Thank you for the suggestions. As usual, you're the best! Congrats for the channel and contents guys!
i bought your complete calisthenics (1-5) and mobility programm. Doing the CC LvL1 for 8 weeks and i got a pretty good posture now. + my hip flexors muscles got a lot stronger. i trained for 3 years strength and endurance (2,3 or 4 times a week) with calisthenics and now i am really focusing on the basics and get better every week thanks guys ^^
I do this. I'll be 45 this year, and never looked better. I'm not huge, but I'm looking as good as a 27 yr old, and will have an 8 pack in a few months, I'm sure. Listen to this guy. He knows what he talks about!
@@johannes01 not a beginner exercise for sure. I've been doing it for about a year now. And still have chosen to not add too many sets and reps cuz I do 1 set each daily.
Hello! I've been having a problem with this exercise for a while. For some reason, when I do this exercise starting in a dead hang, and even doing hanging leg raises, I have a sharp pain in my shoulders. I've been doing them not fully locking out the elbows to avoid that pain, nonetheless, I would like to know what causes the issue. I've seen some people tell me that I should start in an active hang instead of passive hang, however, I still feel like it hurts when doing so. Could it be anatomical? I can maintain solid L-sit hanging for 45 seconds and can do Pull-ups with 40kg for sets of 3 (while my current weight is 71kg), so strength is not the issue. Thanks in advance!
Im not sure whats the problem here buddy, but maybe you could try doing hollow body pullups first? Those put your body in a similar position to an L sit pullup but just not as hard.
I would also recommend to stay in an active hang. For how long have you felt that pain ? Because maybe you just pushed to hard once and didn't recover well. My answer may not be very useful 😅 but my point is that overall, the scapula mastery is important in those exercises because they stretch the muscle more than usual. You may be able to perform l sit and pull ups with weights while not be used to stay in an active depressed hang during the whole motion.
@@Basic00Name Don't think that's the problem, mate, as I can do the L-sit pull ups if I don't fully lock the elbows (I go close to it to get the more ROM that I can without the pain) without any pain.
Could you make a video on training the muscles often overlooked in modern bodybuilding? I use the term bodybuilding in its original sense here. Recently, I've seen a video on how modern male models differ from ancient Greek sculptures regarding muscle development. This was quite thought-provoking. It raises the question which exercises are neglected and what exactly a good muscle balance would look like... Also, I can see a gender-issue.

my max in weighted pullups is +25 kg for 6 reps. But when i tried L-sit pullups BW, my left shoulder was hurt during the eccentric portion. And since then, my left shoulder's never been the same. I can still do weighted pullups but i stay away from L-sit pullups
Kinda have some feelings about this exrcse, but mobility is issue - i mean that i start doing it w\o realising its about strech lats for critical-muscle-weak point in non-harm moment. Just work around my feelings. nice info, thanks for keep doing what you doing :)
I am experiencing painfull sternum pain when doing bench press, regular/ring push ups and regular pull/chin up L hang pull/chin up completely removed chest pain in bottom position
Hey lads, quick question: would you say its a good idea to do this exercise with a resistance band? or just wait until I am strong enough to do it without a band?
Tried to do these, but limitations in overhead mobility makes it impossible for me, at least for the time being. I can't even lower myself from top position, where I extend my legs, to the bottom.
Hi, I came across this "stick mobility challenge" how the hell they doing that..they doing stick shoulder dislocations with reverse grip.... is it possible moreover is it safe ?
So a question: what if you do the bent knee version, but hold a weight? Would that increase ab activation? Or would the extra weight just make it unnecessarily hard? Although I dont see an issue with increased difficulty
Yeah it would increase ab sctivation (but not straight leg strength/mobiliy). Also make sure to focus on your bas and not your hip flexors in the first place.
I also try to do this but my hips and lower body is too weak to pull my legs (or even knees) up to that horizontal level, any bodyweight exercises for that? I'm Doing the one you suggested for mobility, but my core is still too weak
idk but i can do 14 regular pull ups, but when ever i try L-sit pullup, my shoulders get stuck and i can't start the movement from bottom position. When i try very hard, my shoulders make a cracking sound and experience pain
There's something that stands in my way of doing pull-ups and I can't figure out what it is. 4 years in the gym and huge gains yet this bodyweight exercise just sits beyond my abilities :(
@@MattDxstined I haven't been able to not use one though, I can't seem to progress to the point of not needing one and doing an actual clean strict pull up
@@alexleblanc6364 Keep trying. Just keep doing them when you work out. Make sure to leave enough rest between workouts to let the muscles recover and build more strength each time. When you feel ready try a harder resistance band or try changing an aspect of the pull up.
This exercise also helps when ur too tall for the pull up bar. I'm lucky I accidentally got a short pull up bar which forced me to do pull ups like these.
Same.
Same here. Got one of those doorway pull-up bars. And it just felt more natural for me to kick my legs out in front of me.
This!!
I was just about to type this 😂
You are right

@@googleaccount4470 Thanks, I’ll be 63 in May. I’ll shoot for that!
Great! fingers crossed, waiting for update in september!:)
5 pullups at the age of 62 is amazing. There are young guys who can't even do one. Keep going!
@@vaselineturt.9726 Thank you very much. I was shocked after doing a Google search that said the majority of ppl couldn’t do any. This channel was my inspiration, you guys make it look so easy. 😎
Last training we discussed, why the L-sit pull up is so much harder in the bottom position. Now we know, thanks :)
yess always more information to find here!
Iv been doing it explosively for a while now. Trying to pull to the hips. Looks super cool when people can do that for reps.
Have your lats become any bigger after starting and doing this movement (even explosively)?
I agree, looks cool. That first rep, I'm like almost at the hip.

Nice. I love the mobility aspect as I lack that but knowing everything else is an added bonus
are you working on your mobility?
It also moves the center of mass and makes the leverage harder.
thanks for the info!
Definetly trying this in my next session! Thanks Sven and "El huevos"
have you tried it already?
Dude just yesterday I found this variation by myself, I can't believe someone made a video about this exercise just today
where did you find it?
I do this.
I'll be 45 this year, and never looked better.
I'm not huge, but I'm looking as good as a 27 yr old, and will have an 8 pack in a few months, I'm sure.
Listen to this guy. He knows what he talks about!
This is one of The Best calisthenic Channels. And Jeff cavalier too.
Any pull up variation that makes regular pull ups easy is the way to go!
This helps me a lot for the muscle up
Me too...
Thank you, Calimove! You guys helped a lot in my journey.
As a guy who can do 6 good form consecutive pullups at 76/78kg bodyweight, damn I tried this variation and I did just 2 of them, I highly suggest it.
wanna try it myself next session!
Ok, but doing two in a row seems very inefficient. Sounds like you should only do this if you can easily do ten pull ups.
Your content is the best out there
I can start with the bent knee position. It's what I can actually do without hesitation. Then I'll work it out from there.
yess keep working on it!
Wow, Sven looks absolutely shredded again.
Sven is back into the game....
Another benefit - when I made it for a month, after that my lower back pain was gone.
Please make a video on elbow pain
Sven is shredded AF !
The edits on the vids are hihg effort. Keep it up
Notification Squad is active.
Thanks for the demo, Phinks..
I do a set of pullup + leg raise on top + leg raise negative + pullup negative each rep, and one set of commando pullup everyday
sounds like a hard exercise!

@@prabinpaudel5572 awesome keep it up!
I can do a few pullups but I can't even do one of these, this is definitely the hardest way to do a pullup
I just started trying this. Great fun
Only 3 exercises you need.. these pullups
Push-ups and squats prove me wrong
Thank you Alex! I injuried my shoulders twice when I did this pull up. I had no clue what was wrong. Maybe this time it might gonna work
Hope it went well
For those using door pull up bar, make sure its screws SECURED!
Please make a video on full body (POWER) Workout.
I mean (Strength + Speed) = POWER
this looks f&*king hard dude
Thanks!!!
Informative 🙏🙏
Nice video.....can u please make a video on jumping ropes? Is it calisthenics and can it be incorporated with it?
Please make a video on iron neck equipment
L pull ups are no joke
I consider them really in advanced category
Even I find them harder then archer pull ups
Обяснение на высшем уровне автор не беспокойся
I bet ' first five minute senario would be like ..i can do this damm easy thing after realising i can't do it 😂😂😂

Can you rank leg exercise like you did in the other videos?
Damn, I've watched this video before going to bed, then I dreamed about doing Lsit pull ups all night long, and now I'm tired 😂
haha nice one 😂
When I do this, I feel that my right shoulder will dislocate. what should I do?
be careful with that! health is always most important!
Sounds like you are pulling more with one arm, you need to balance and do isolated exercises with your left arm

switching things up a bit is never a bad idea I think :)
I am early can I get blessed by the blue shorts of power?💪🔥
With timd will my body get used to the lat stretch or will always be that hard and uncomfortable?
Instead of pull up grip do chin up grip to enhance bicep muscle growth

@@calimove I saw that but I felt like putting my content in thank you
Can you please tell me how good effective yoga is like in yoga with adrine channel.....???
When first started doing theses my back would hurt
Now that the only way I do pull-ups/ chin-ups
I guess if you dont want any discomfort in any position use rings, start with a pronated grip and supenate as you are getting up
Do you retract your shoulder blades
I own the complete calisthenics program and I only do this pull up because of lack of height to hang the rings
So a question: what if you do the bent knee version, but hold a weight? Would that increase ab activation? Or would the extra weight just make it unnecessarily hard? Although I dont see an issue with increased difficulty
Yeah it would increase ab sctivation (but not straight leg strength/mobiliy). Also make sure to focus on your bas and not your hip flexors in the first place.
Could you try this with the neutral grip as well?
I don't know what's form of back should I do when I doing that workout, is it Hollow form or Arch form?
Thanks ! you the best!
I don't suppose the L-position counts if I have my feet braced on a stool because I'm too heavy to lift my whole self, right? 😁
Does a seated lat pulldown acomplish the same lat strech as this exercise?
i can feel that sven is aging faster than alex .......not making fun on your age guys !
Is it the same for negative pull ups ???
I also try to do this but my hips and lower body is too weak to pull my legs (or even knees) up to that horizontal level, any bodyweight exercises for that? I'm Doing the one you suggested for mobility, but my core is still too weak
Hang from bar and work on lifting knees? Or same move on dip bars so grip doesn't limit you? Stand on one foot and work on lifting the other?
cool
I have a hard time doing regular pullups. But when I do L sits? It makes it easier
I can do 5 of them, but i cant do the full range of motion because at the bottom of the pull up i feel a cramp in my right shoulder
idk but i can do 14 regular pull ups, but when ever i try L-sit pullup, my shoulders get stuck and i can't start the movement from bottom position. When i try very hard, my shoulders make a cracking sound and experience pain
are mike tyson workout effective
its really hard,i couldn even do one…
So doing it on rings is better?
