Straddle L-Sit
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
- Bodyweight
HOW TO PERFORM
- Sit with the legs straight and spread wide, and set the hands flat on the floor between the legs, close to the hips.
- Lock the arms and press the shoulders down to lift the hips off the floor.
- Lift the legs off the floor, straight and wide with the toes pointed, and hold.
- Lower with control at the end of the hold.
FORM TIPS
- Hip flexibility limits this hold as much as strength. Wider legs and hands closer to the hips make the lift easier to find.
