L-Sit Hold

Step-by-step instructions

Follow these cues to master proper technique and stay safe through every rep.

1. Step 1Setup
   • Sit on the floor with legs extended straight in front.
   • Place your hands flat on the floor next to your hips, fingers pointing forward.
   • Optionally use parallettes or push-up handles for extra clearance.
2. Step 2Execution
   • Press firmly through your palms and lift your hips and legs off the ground.
   • Lock your elbows and depress your shoulders down away from your ears.
   • Keep your legs straight and together, parallel to the floor.
   • Engage your abs and hip flexors to maintain the hold.
   • Breathe steadily throughout.
3. Step 3Tips
   • Start with a tucked L-sit (knees bent) if full version is too difficult.
   • Focus on shoulder depression to avoid shrugging.
   • Use parallettes for additional wrist comfort and clearance.
   • Aim to increase hold time progressively.
