Wanna L-Sit Like A Gymnast

As many of you have noticed, marked progress in gymnastics requires a considerable commitment of time and determination. You can make a lot of progress by finding time before and after your gym workouts to work on the following progressions:

L-Sit Progression -

• Tuck Sits; paralettes, dip rack, rings, floor
• 1-legged L-Sits; parallettes, dip rack, rings
• Partial L; hold whatever degree of L you can create on the dip rack (straight knee required)

Planche Progression -

• Push Up position on the paralettes; walk forward with your toes until your hands are even with your hips. Accomplish whatever degree of a push up you can in the finish position. Walk back.

Handstand Push Up Progression -

• Against the wall with AbMat target (1 or more AbMats)
• With band assistance under a pull up bar 
• With a spotter

Looking forward to some progress in the gym.
