i can hold an l sit with hands on yoga blocks for about 7 seconds. my goal is to be able to l sit from the floor which is way harder to do. i hope these progressions also help towards that goal.
Great stuff! Is it ok if we lean back a bit and bring the pelvis forward s bit? Seems a bit easier this way for me, but maybe I need more compression...
You mentioned "reasonable order of the static gymnastics." So what would you consider as the next reasonable progression after doing the L-sit? I'm asking as someone who wants to one day be able to do all the levers (side/human flag, front and back).
Yupp, it all depends on your goals. If you want to Lsit for as long as possible, then great. I feel it would be more fun to progress to Vsit at that point though. I know I'll probably never reach mana, but it would be nice to see how close I can get!
After many years training in the gyms, I noticed that how much effective is the calisthenics for the body, and the funny thing is that calisthenics comes from my country.🥲🥲
Every video you do, Adam, is technically explicit, inspiring and hugely practical. You have an amazing talent as a coach\teacher. I just received parallettes about 9 inches high, in the mail. This video is gold for me. I'm going to be smart this time and go step-by-step.
What should be a warmup for push pull legs calisthenics split and is it okay to do mobility routing as a warmup,for eg:on pull day i will do mobility routine related to back muscles, bicep and forearm muscles i.e pull muscles
A general warm up is great before all workouts whoch takes 5 min, you can find that video on the channel! After that, prehab, mobility routine for the specific area you'll use is reasonable!
Irony. I'm a classic weight lifter, though for athletics not bodybuilding. I mastered body-up the first time I tried it. And It took me under two weeks to do a full planche. HOWEVER, I still struggle with the L-Sit, which is probably the easiest for most. I assume it's because my legs are quite strong and the muscle weighs me down, adding difficulty to the exercise. So I just do them on my suspension trainer, so my slightly below 90-degree angle doesn't hinder me. But once a week for the past six-months sees me trying, and failing. I'll keep on going until I finally make succeed. Why not? What fun is life without stretch-goals?
@@GymnasticsMethod yes, serious. My palms hurt after say 15 seconds after supporting my weight. Is this not a common issue? I am new to parallets. Maybe I just need to practise
I'm just curious, after one year since your comment, have you achieved what you want in the way of flexibility in the hamstrings? I'm extremely inflexible in my legs, let alone hamstrings and achilles tendons. I am just starting with this method, as opposed to weightlifting.
Can you make a video on how gymnasts train....like how many hours per day...and what they do to avoid over training, injuries and maintaining the body while learning skills...
like you said... i have never tried it before but i have some decent strength. with your proper method i can hold for 5 sec in tucked position... And felt my tricep and lower abs burning... simple and sweet video... key tip here is keep your body straight to your hand.... loved it...
@@GymnasticsMethod so if I do it from the floor I can put my legs up but have trouble pushing myself off the floor. There should be a gap between you and the floor right?
@@SL-mc2ry yes, but it’s a really little gap. Do it on parallettes or chairs first! In the beginning you might have problems with pushing and elevating you whole bodyweight on the floor because the muscles are weak. That’s normal. Do what I just said!
This channel is underrated! Its cool to see someone preach about calisthenics from a real gymnast perspective!
thank you! Trying my best
Factz❤
5:43 "Concentrate on the depression"
Always 💯
Phew, when focusing on my scapular position correctly, my triceps were burning. Great video!
Yes! Thank you!
This is great!! I'm still working at it and it's getting cleaner & closer.
1. Alternate leg raises in support 1 06:50 3-4 sets x 10
2. Tuck L-sit: 7:10 3x 30s
3. Half extended leg L-sit 7:28 3x10-15s
4. Knee extension FTO L-sit 7:46 3x6
5. Leg raises to L-sit 8:06 3x6
Thx bro
Seriously you are the man. Love from the UK. This is real informative and highly educated information. Your channel will be the greatest.
Thank you 🙏
Such a great exercise with so much room for progression or to incorporate it into a circuit.
Absolutely fantastic channel!
The quality of this channel is so high. I first click the like button and then watch the video. It will be good anyway.
Im subscribing! Thank you for sharing good knowledge!
I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for the subscription! :)
i will follow your method.
thanks so much
🙏
@@GymnasticsMethod i just dick half extended leg L-sit. it hurts my abs and thigh. am i doing right?
Golden advice man, you need to go way up
Great video. Thank you.
Nice one! Can you do a video on straight arm conditioning for planche and front lever?
Will do!

I do the same, it is very challenging too, i think it's okay

Little late response: You could proceed by learning the frog stand - advanced frog stand - basic tucked planche - advanced tucked planche
His L-sit form is out of a textbook
🙏🙏
Curious, why is going beyond 30 seconds on a L-Sit not reasonable?
The question is always this: what is the goal?
Yupp, it all depends on your goals. If you want to Lsit for as long as possible, then great.
I feel it would be more fun to progress to Vsit at that point though. I know I'll probably never reach mana, but it would be nice to see how close I can get!

His face when doing L-sit: 🗿
Exactly hahaha

you are so good! how long are you in gymnastics?and thanks so much for being a great teacher
About 15 years

Adam's got everything we need❤
Heck, I would be happy to be able to do the wrong position of the L-sit he shows.
Can you do a video on how to support your weight on your hands with paralletes / bars? My palms hurt 😢
For real?
@@GymnasticsMethod yes, serious. My palms hurt after say 15 seconds after supporting my weight. Is this not a common issue? I am new to parallets. Maybe I just need to practise
@@dannnsss8034 yeah I have the same issue.
What about stretches for l sit?
Where is the video about leg raises in pike sit mentioned? seems I can't find it.
My hamstrings aren't flexible enough 😢
Stretch them
I'm just curious, after one year since your comment, have you achieved what you want in the way of flexibility in the hamstrings? I'm extremely inflexible in my legs, let alone hamstrings and achilles tendons. I am just starting with this method, as opposed to weightlifting.

Yes, just answered this! :D
@@GymnasticsMethod thanks..
Hi, Can you tell me where I can by a pare of the L-sit bars and what is the proper name of them is please? Thank you.

I can’t get off the floor
What do you mean?
@@GymnasticsMethod so if I do it from the floor I can put my legs up but have trouble pushing myself off the floor. There should be a gap between you and the floor right?

You’re not the only one. Still trying.
Awesome video! Thank you!
