L-Sit Pull Up
A step-by-step form guide from the Ægir Iron exercise library: how to do the lift, what to watch for, and the muscles it trains.
- Equipment
- Pull-Up Bar
HOW TO PERFORM
- Hang from the bar with an overhand grip just outside the shoulders.
- Lift the straight legs together until they are level with the floor, toes pointed.
- Pull the chest toward the bar, driving the elbows down, while holding the legs level.
- Lower under control to a full hang without letting the legs drop.
FORM TIPS
- The legs stay up for the whole set. When they start to sink, the set is over even if the pull-ups are still there.
- Hold the knees tucked up until straight legs can stay level for a full set.
