This video will be covering the best exercises to increase L-sit hold time. When it comes to L sit progression, it's not that hard to learn how to l sit with the right exercises.Most who first try this movement will be unable to do so on the floor and experience leg cramps. It's best to think of helpful exercises for the L-sit in the following catergories: Flexibility and Hip Flexor strength. Most people waste their time on passive stretching of the hamstrings without addressing the main weakness, the hips.
To quickly improve the L-sit fast, one needs to strengthen the hip flexor muscles. If you can sit upright on the floor in a 90 degree position you have the flexibility to do the L-sit, you just don't have the strength to hold the position.
This tutorial will help those who want to get strong for the floor l-sit who are involved in bodyweight strength, calisthenics, crossfit and any fitness enthusiast looking to learn.

Why does everyone on youtube have such a great calistenics park near them? Im having a pullup bar in my door and thats it...
And good weather
😂
So Tru bro here in India we have very less parks like these, especially where I live
@@observet1878 Easier said than done!
I have to walk 3 miles and to the top of a hill to find the nearest tree suitable to hang rings from. It's a good warm up though.
As a beginner, I sincerely appreciate that you don't shy away from showing some struggle in your videos. It makes me remember that when I face a brutal struggle in my own journey that, "yep, this is what the process looks like sometimes."
nothing great is easy they say
@@vincentvangogh8092 Kindness.
Love your freaking podcast man, happy to see you here!
@@Sephajinami Thank you!
When I started doing the L-sit I could hold it for 5 seconds.
Now I can hold it for 76 seconds in a hanging position, and around 63 seconds on floor/bars
wow...My Lsit is still bad form because i cannot fully straighten my legs
If you wanna really challeng yourself do it on rings I’ve been told it’s harder on them
@Santi Arenas This was my thought
Cugureanu Chiril i can do 43 seconds on floor. My advice is be really flexible.This is a game changer. You’ll only fight against gravity, not against your unflexible muscles
Dude holy fuck that’s long
"A sudden case of Parkinson's" oh god that literally had me laughing
is that a rare phenomenon for you?
Daniel got his parkinson game on point, lmao.
That clip was the most fun part when filming.
I thought that was hilarious too. Couldn't watch the whole video without laughing and commenting 1st.
thanks for the spoiler
#teamnocalves
big calves are ugly, let the masses focus on the V shaped upper body
big calves is beautiful 'cause it's harder than upper body develop, everyone can develop if they train the upper body calves are different if you train you can max your potencial but it's all about genetics
not really, I have impressive calves compared to my other muscle groups, yet I barely put effort in it .. during my very beginning I used to do lots of high knees landing and bouncing with my tip toes instead of using my whole feet (cause I was doing it barefoot XD), jumping jacks and some bodyweight calf raises .. that's it.
no I literally don't do any isolation exercises yet they are still the most developed and beautiful muscle group I've.
here's they funny thing, my biceps aren't full and my abs aren't symmetry ._.
@@intelone814 lucky, my calves are like 2 inches long lol
@@intelone814 Calves size is mostly genetics, yet you can easily train them to get you max size tha would be probably almost good. Just jump
Do a video on your nutrition..
Can’t hold it at all, but I keep trying, 54 and just started calisthenics last year, that’s for the Tutorial, it gives me things I can do to improve my technique and strength, hoping I’ll get there!
I find it amazing that you have been making the videos funnier and more fun to watch and, I assume, to make. It brings us in the scenario a lot more immersively. Of course, sharing this with my beginner friends :) keep it up Daniel, you are amazing.
wow man, that pointed toe tip is a game changer for me. It is so tough to work the upper part of that hip flexor with tightness in the hamstring. I will still work on hamstring flexibility, but pointing that toe was the key. I also need to work calf flexibility. but pointing the toe and fixed the extra tightness...now all focus can go on that terrible hip flexor squeeze!
Floor L-sit: 12 seconds, parallettes: 25s, hanging (rings or bar): 45s.
Will definitely try out this technique to get better. Love learning basics again and going back to get better. Thank you so much for all your hard work.
4:57, ironically I'm a newbie in calisthetics but I can move more my hip flexors, it does feel good to think that I'm actually good at something
Respeck ✊🏾
Congrats
I was already doing the compression leg lifts, but never think about the wall before. There´s always something new to learn from Daniel.
ps: 12 seconds l-sit.
Haven’t tried the L-sit for about a month and watched this video for a second time. Heard him say if you can sit up right than your flexibility is fine so i tried it and held it for 12 seconds first try, omg I’m actually buzzing
I've implemented this video's advice over the years and it has considerably improved my l-sit and v-sit. thank you Daniel!
Before this video I randomly tried the L-Sit on the ground with a different technique I got it instantly with a hold time of 4 or 5 seconds.
I did it by starting with my legs straight and lifting from there
Great video. Just getting back into callisthenics and my l-sit has gone to c***. Love that this offers targeted exercises.
I can hold the L-Sit for 45 secs hanging and 20s on the bars. Maybe slightly longer. Thanks for the video. I have MUCH to learn and really do need a trusted plan to follow
Wow, can't wait to try your suggested strengthening exercises. I can hold an L-sit for maybe three seconds before my hip flexors cramp. Now I know what to work on; thanks! (BTW, just turned 61 -- calisthenics is not just for young guys. On a good day I can do 15 neutral arm pullups, but one-arm is beyond me. Any suggestions as to how to train for that?)
This video motivated me to regain my l-sit. A year ago I could hold a perfect l-sit on the bars for 30 seconds straight, had good hip flexor strength , hamstring mobility and core strength. Actually I was trying to achieve a v-sit but I stopped training shortly after and I've lost my l-sit because I lack flexibility. Good video
This was so helpful bc I know it’s my hip flexors that are preventing me from holding.
I get a mad cramp in my right quad the second i get into the L-sit :(
This is a useful video. Will definitely try these drills out
2:57 why does it look like the teizeps has abs?
Lol.
cause he actually does lol
I can hold L sit from the ground for about 10 seconds! It was 0 seconds a couple of weeks ago. Thank you for great content!
I suppose we are ging to have a fairly long wait for the V sit video :)
Just learned about L-Sits today when researching getting a 6 pack of abs, and this is the first vid I watched on it. I did the exercises following along, can't do an L-Sit yet, but I can raise my legs easily while my back is against the wall. Doing both at the same time..brutal. Thanks for this helpful video, it's saved in my 6 Pack workout playlist.
Really interesting video, as an older runner I struggle a lot with injuries and this vid will help addressing hamstring issues. I would also like to try celebrate my 61st birthday at end of next Jan, by hopefully doing a handstand !!
Ive kinda fixed my flexibility and what ive noticed is that since the quarantine i havent done anying for my legs. And my main problem is my hamstring and im 100% 0:12 . Will try these exercises for sure hope they help
I've been waiting for an L-sit video for a long time. Thank you Daniel! Fabulous content and funny indeed! I progressed with L-sits the hard way - repeated the exercise until it worked. Currently I can hold it for 20+ seconds.
That subtle sarcasm and humor are pure gold. On top, these break down exercise for progression is awesome!
DUDE, you rock!! As I watched you demonstrate the various exercises on the incline and the floor, and talk about the cramping you experienced, I was thinking, "Yep!! That's me literally every time I attempt to do a L-sit on the rings or a parallel bar." I get it all: the shakes, the struggle/inability to keep the legs strait and toes pointed, etc. The longest I've been able to do a PROPER L-sit before form breaks down is about 30 seconds; after that, the form is nowhere near what it should be and I get all the symptoms described in your video. This is a very informative video. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
I can't believe I went this long without knowing half of this. My best time so far has been 20s in an L-sit. I can't wait to use these techniques to make it look easy! Thank you!!
Yes, I'm about 20 secs too. Looking forward to using the tips.
No doubt: thumb up. VERY clear&clean explanation of the "why-not" reasons, and useful exercises for hip flexors.
Thank you for the great tips, I never thought about doing the exercise using the wall for support, will definitely try that!
I think it would've been nice if you could give an example of sets and reps/hold for these exercises, just so we can have an idea.
Excellent tutorial, Daniel. The wall single-leg raise is killer; the two-leg version will make a believer out of you! Great work.
Man that back on the wall leg raising is such "fun", thanks Daniel!
This was great! Very practical on identifying which issue I'm experiencing so that I can work on developing my L-Sit more specifically! Thank you. Very encouraging and practical.
As for my current L-sit time. I can actually hold it for 20-30 seconds with my legs straight, but they aren't parallel to the ground yet. So I'll be working on the hip flexor and ab strength.
In my case I have very low grade flexibility, so even if I have the strength to do the l-sits, my legs won't go high enough.
Really good video dude, gotta start applying these in my next abs session :D
Great video. Love the way you dont just show every1 these are the progression to this exercises. Do these and you wlll master the movement. Actually breaking down the weaknesses in the body to fully understand why we cant do it is exactly what is needed. 👍👍👍
Great video Daniel. What are your thoughts on reducing the lever, the legs, by bending them as a modification? It reducues the need for limber posterior chains for those starting out as well
From may 8 to July 19 I was
Able to hit my L sit 8-10 sec perfectly even though I barely train it, yeah first time doing it almost got me cramp. And I started doing calisthenics at May of 2020 it so fun that I feel like I progress so fast and it give me more motivation to keep going and learn new things like the front lever, planche etc. I was once from bodybuilding now calisthenics
Progression training like this would be super useful to include in your body weight Evo program guide
I couldn't improve from 25 sec for far too long, whats really helped me is adding 2-4 kg on my legs , now i am doing 50 sec no weights hold , and with 2.5kg 35 sec . Goal is 1 min with 5kg long way to go ;)
i can hold the L-Sit for 10secs at best, forgot to train it any further :D but your video was a great reminder! Thanks!
Max is around 35 seconds, but been practicing it nearly daily.. toes to bar is a good exercise also to improve L-sit..
I can hold this l-sit that you saw for 15 seconds. My best result in l-sit hanging on the bar is 35 seconds. I love this exercise.
Hi Daniel, please keep doing content where you address how to progress for people with zero-to-none mobility. You can't even imagine how much you helped me right now as I am struggling with the 90 degree L-sit possition for really long time. L-sit and L-sit to handstand are pretty much the excercises that brought me into calisthenics
Great vid, I'm totally devoting myself to learning to hold a proper L-sit for a substantial amount of time. I've got another exercise which is holding an L-sit with my feet against a wall to reduce the load - I find this really helps work the core. Do you think this is a useful route to take, Daniel?
Combination of both strengths are important to achieve progressive development and sustainability of the back. Also maintain its muscular comprehension, work of stretching the toes is very important to vectorize your movements, isometric exercises are very good for expanding body awareness and its flexibility. In addition: they will collaborate on other levels of training you want to accomplish. Those sequences are perfect and I point out to all people who seek to acquire body control, and not only for those who work with dance, as in my case! 😀
Great video, Def loving being apart of the bodyweight academy as well. Oh and 17 sec for l-sits and starting phase 3 of bodyweight weight evolution and just getting stronger.
Moonbot7 bodyweight exercises definitely are validating as you suck when you start one but as time progresses you see progress in your technique.
10 seconds with good form
Lovely content 💯
18 seconds but due to cramps I cant hold any longer. This video will help 4 sure, thanks!
At first my legs couldn't get off the ground at all, after a month of doing your exercises I can now do an L sit on the ground for around 10 seconds.
I had reached many channels to put this question forward to find solutions for fixing my L sit holds. Thanks a lot once again Fitness FAQ for such a detailed breakdown. More power to you.
hands down the best bodyweight fitness channel on youtub
best parks to train at in your videos, awesome to see an Aussie kick arse and explain things thoroughly
Love your videos, great info. Started working towards my l-sit and this was a good remider to get back to it! Great stuff!
I appreciate your subtle advertising. Too many fitness coaches on here spending half their tutorials trying to sell their product. Respect.
I progressed from tuck hold straight to Lsit
It was really hard at first then it got easier
0:40 look at the caption LMAO
LMAOOOOOOO
I've been doing leg raises and hip flexor exercises 3 times per week for 3 weeks and now I can hold L sit for 5 seconds (I couldn't even hold it for 1 second lol). Thank you for the great tips and your youtube content!
how long did it take? please answer.
I can hold it for 10-15 seconds with Parkinson’s. I think my weakness is hamstring tightness, which makes me pull extra hard with my core to try to overcome flexibility issues.
I was looking for this! Thanks a lot Daniel!
Omg! I was able to lift my straight legs off the floor with the TOEs POINTED! thanks for your tips!!
Usually would do 3 sets of 15-20s holds but just deciding to push myself I got to 30s holds! Thanks for the great content!
Very good video and some gymnastics training incorporated in these tips. Nicely done Daniel.
I personally never did any of these strengthening exercises and currently have about 20s. L-sit hold. My main focus always has been perfect form, preactivation of every muscle and pelvic tilt and doing "hypersets" :D after each training session with max l-sit hold + max leg raise + max knee raise hold plus max knee raise (sometimes varying these 4 exercises).
I also like to include horizontal movement and from knee raise hold to l-sit hold dynamics. I think may people do this wrong or at least after their form break when their pelvic tilt crashes and they still try to hold on. That's just excess strain on the lower back and I learned it the hard way before I knew about the pelvic tilt being so important on this exercise to get massive gains.
I also liked your tip on toes pointing forward. That's my main goal when performing any raise or hold with legs and it actually incorporates more muscle tensions (I believe) throughout the whole core and makes the exercise feel more stable.
Keep these coming Daniel and much respect from Finland!
Ps. Tried the one leg raise on the floor back on the couch/wall and was surprised how easy it was. Maybe my basketball training in 20 years did wonders on my hip flexors before my 5 year journey on true calisthenics. :D
+1 for the suggestion of doing the leg raise in next to a wall. Wicked, but effective.
great video combined with great humor!
Working hard on bettering my self in this
3 seconds. Working on all those aspects mentioned! Keep up the great uploads!
Nice video! Do you have any tips on how to increase L-Sit hold time beyond 30 sec? I'm trying to reach 1min but can't seem to be able to break 40sec no matter how hard I train. Thank you for your help!
I like your video because its real and I resinate with the pain your face shows! Thanks man!
your videos are getting better and better - good quality informations, a pinch of humor and down to earth advices about what to do and what you shouldn't. Made me realyse a lot about myself, brought me to a new level of body consciousness - thank you very much for that!
I really feel the cramps, but they used to show after 5 sec and now i can hold the L-sit for about 10sec - these is making a difference.
Greetings from Brazil
What a good channel. . I can hold a sorry excuse for the L-sit for like 11 second. Legs aren’t super straight.
A few weeks ago I couldn't hold my L-Sit at all anymore.
I can manage about 5 good seconds now....
Still a long road back to a full minute though Lol
Don Vimma yea man the same thing happened to my 20s l-sit. Gotta remind ourselves to train specific moves as often as possible :()
Gracias por tan buen contenido, estaría muy bueno que se pueda activar los subtítulos en español
I enjoy this so much and I can tell this is also gonna help me with my cycling
Incredible... thios is the first l sit help video that actually helped get better. Thanks....SUB
Thanks! Just posted my progress from 0 to 10 seconds holding the L-sit. Your tips helped
I like your profesional advice
The video was pretty funny as well instructive. Nice one!
how long hmm not at all but you have given me hope
I do like the back against the wall tip. Until I actually do it. Great vid.
Man you’re amazing! Period!
5:25 the two legged is twice as hard for me to do compared to the 1 leg. I would say its the same for most because with 1 leg you have the other leg used as added leverage on the ground
Yes! Just in time. I needed a vid for this. Thanks, Daniel!
Great Video! I feel like I have too tight hamsteings for this but always after starting stretching them I get lower back pain after a few days...
awesome tips- cheers mate!
This feels really healthy for the lower back as well. As much as it sucks
Very Helpful. And I Haven't Even Begun. Thank You!!!
Great tutorial, thanks! The severe shaking at the beginning got me laughing as that is where im at right now. Haha!
"Now let's take a look at my huge calves..." Love your sense of humor, bro :)
20 seconds on a good day 😂 but more often 12-15 secs. Nice video mate 👍
Great hamstrings and quads!
Video at the right time i need it
Thanks
0:25 looks like me when I am holding this position for 10s LOL
🤣
love your sense of humor. helpful video
Great video, presently I can hold the L-sit for about ten seconds...🤸
best channel, very unagitated, but every vid gives me a new trigger!
In India we have plenty of such calisthenics park
They were made rapidly in a span of past 3-4 year and now their numbers are massive
Within 2km radius area there are 4-5 parks with open air gym in them
