Primary muscles: Abdominals

Secondary muscles: Triceps, Shoulders, Quadriceps

How to do it

  1. Support yourself on parallettes, dip bars, or the floor with arms locked and shoulders depressed.
  2. Lift your legs straight out in front so your body forms an 'L'.
  3. Hold the position with toes pointed and legs together for the prescribed time.
  4. Lower your feet under control to finish.

Track it with MyoAmigo

MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the L-Sit from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Abdominals volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
