He the Bioneer is not a gymnast, not on steriods and not an athlete by his own admission. Who would do an L-sit on a pole across a 200 ft hill? The Bioneer never ceases to impress! Cheers! To the core Adam!
I found a tank in the park and did an L sit in the Cannon I guess you would call it that I'm not a tank guru and if you're wondering tanks are pretty common where I live just in my area we have 2 they don't work obviously.
Typically (for me at least) you're able to do a movement sooner than you predict if you stick to training, but it requires your max strength. By the looks of the video, he already pushed it to 2 but by the end of it he was shaking lol
He did that but he didn't had full control and shakes a bit. Which is much more impressive approach than "i almost killed myself while trying but i kinda did that once so i can" that most people have
I always find it funny that a narrow waist is considered more aesthetic and in shows the jacked super strong guys generally have huge arms, legs, chest and upper backs but an imaciated “but diced” core. Talk about firing a cannon from a canoe
Exactly. I started to do more compound movements with martial arts and instead of looking like men's physique I'm starting to look like a fridge. I like it tho and feeling strong AF
@@lewdkingdomdoujinshi8801 despite the subs the algo does not push his vids which is why the view numbers seem surprising to us. everything he puts out is solid gold and should have atleast 150-200k views given how many subs he has.
Because he's conveying large amounts of good information with limited "calls for action" or "shout out to this video's sponsor." Essential content with no commercials.
It only appeals to more advanced and sophisticated viewers. Also on the whole videos that only talk about different exercises aren't very useful to most people, because they won't know how to integrate them into a routine. The only routine content on this channel is in the book which isn't on youtube to begin with.
You're like the Mr. Rogers of fitness. Since I began watching your videos, I've gained in strength, endurance and agility while avoiding the injuries I used to put myself through. Keep up the amazing work.
Love how you broke everything down so well w/ the how, why, & progressions fully explained. Keep showing everyone that fitness doesn’t necessarily have to require a fancy gym membership, & how there’s so many ways anyone can use their own body and/or their environment to exercise. Your approach is especially useful in these times when not everyone has access to gyms, & gives even less excuses for people to make for why they’re not doing some form of regular exercise. 💪👍
I've been practicing the L-Sit to handstand transition, found a technique where you have parallettes setup so you have a wall behind you. So you L-Sit swing back through and land your feet on the wall in a tucked handstand position, from there you can walk your feet up the wall into a full hand stand or come back down and just practice the transition. Great video
The L-Sit and hand stand is what we gymnas do on a daily basis. It's a part of doing gymnastic exercises & training. But omg I honestly don't like L-sit. It's not my favorite but I give people credit's for doing it .😃
@@Rufio1975 lol I'm good, I didn't know what else to say, I could have said the L-sit, just take forever to get done haha. But it's like any other exercise, that people get tire of this or that part, But we do what it's needed & necessary to do. 😀
Hey dude. Just here to send the biggest thank you ever. Your content, your wisdom in training, is what made me able to compete in Sweden's championship junior (powerlifting, yes i know this isn't the focus of the channel). I am gonna compete this november, and your functional training is what has kept me strong and making training fun.
L sits are something I've wanted to be able to do for a long time. This has inspired me to double down and my training and make it happen. I've been doing more pike pulses lately and that's helped a lot, I've actually managed to get into the L for a brief time.
Guys please do a short Martial Arts choreographed fight, the running at each other scene at 10:58 got my hyped up incredibly already. Looked incredible!
The L sit has helped my core and straight arm strength and over all stabilization...its a great opener into other strength moves such as press handstand and planche
The bioneer is the man! BTW I just purchased his book today. His TH-cam channel has given me alot of valuable insight on the types of work outs to incorporate that I couldn't resist any longer. Very happy to support the channel and excited to read this book. 😀
Bioneer: I'm not there yet... * as he proceeds to show he is SO VERY THERE already ...* You, sir, continue to motivate and impress via the manner of leading by example. You do not describe or discuss anything that you, yourself, do not demonstrate by personally executing the maneuver whilst explaining in detailed fashion from a variety of perspectives (at the very least physiological as well as scientific supporting benefits). Long time viewer (maybe someday I will eventually get thru all your "How to Train Like Batman" vidoes), first time to comment (I believe). Carry on and God bless. p.s. Watching the Bioneer: worth the time taken. Hearing the Bioneer bleep out a swear at Grant effortlessly doing an 'V' sit: Priceless
I love the L-Sit to Planche Variations a lot and just recently started with doing them on the Rings, which is a incredibly fun and way harder exercise.
@@fergomez9967 Yeah thats kinda the end of the L-sit spectrum. My longterm goal is an L-sit iron cross, but first i have to be strong enough for the cross :D
@@ringsfitness5340 Yup. It's a lot harder on the ground than hanging, though. But at least it'll be easy by the time I've got my bar back (Currently can't really hold it for long before going into tuck-sit -- which I like to call "O-sit" lol)
I really need to catch up on some of your videos, they're so good and your general views about fitness are right up my alley. I've gotten a bit out of shape throughout Covid but I'm gonna try to add some L-sit progression as I start doing core workouts again
L sit is my favorite core movement, tied with dragon flags!!! I like to use an L Sit “Wheel” to help with my BBoy positions too. 10 seconds in straddle l sit, then reposition and hold standard l sit for 10 seconds, and finally reposition to a flare/v sir position for 10 seconds!
I love the fact that you're always rocking barefoot shoes in your videos! I personally completely switched to them about 7 years now and my feet just keep getting healthier and healthier!
Might as well comment for the algorithm. Thanks as always Adam. I can v-sit quite well and feel like it's worth saying that while you touch on it, I feel no one fully appreciates the mobility gains this brings when you train for it properly. If you structure the workout to go straight from the the seated leg raises into a forward fold pike (use a band or something if you cant reach at the start) you'll be folding flat before you know it. Also train smart with this and you can get great result just working on it for 20 mins 2-3 days a week.
I should start doing knee tucks and L-sits every time I’m using a pull-up bar or parallettes! No more slacking! You’re the reason I won’t be slacking on farmers walks and back bridges too!
I’ve been practicing knee ups on the chin up bar. I can hold an L-sit for about a second. I’m just going to keep trying, and doing the things you suggested in the video. Thanks for the ideas.
Great stuff as always! In Gymnastic Bodies, it's just a progression step on the path toward manna. I'm up to 4x48s on 1/2 L-sit (like the tuck position at 6:48). Pike pulse (7:52) is exactly what they tell you to do between sets.
I can hold a v sit for 30sec, took me many years to get there still refining my form. After i added in a 2nd leg day, the stepness of my v improved a lot. Great video one thing i think you missed spread your fingers when attempting to do a l sit of the ground this makes it easier and was the tip that allowed me to unlock the l sit before i was attempting it with closed fingers and couldnt do it.
The visuals on this video are phenomenal. The other videos look great too but if you can keep this level of production I think the channel will grow exponentially. You are one of the best fitness channels going in my opinion. An absolute goldmine of knowledge.
This is such a great channel for comprehensive health and fitness. Love the calisthenics based exercises that not many other fitness channels talk about
I really appreciate your videos. How in depth they are and how unique they are by noticing that some variations don’t work for some people, but I have one question… how are you so close to such a beautiful river and not stopping to cast a line? Keep up the wonderful work.
Hey there Adam, I have been wondering this for a long time. If training in cold weather and water has its benefits, what about the opposite? Does training in a hot environment and hot water have its own benefits Would love to see a research and analysis from you on this
Thank you for the vid! Yes, working on my L-sits as part of my Yoga practice. It is a process working on that compression and strengthen and lengthen. Little by little getting there!
Thanks for making the video, I look forward to making that part of my “exercise program”. I will also be checking out Grants channel. I’m 41 and my hobby is self preservation
Hi Bioneer, Amazing Video as always with precise content and elaborate description. I would be very grateful f you could make a Video on fixing Scapular Winging. Thanks :)
Big fan of your content! I'll definitely experiment with some L-sits again thanks to this vid. Most definitely gonna implement the elephant walk as well to my stretching routine. The more I moved away recently from bodybuilding stuff to other methods of more functional training (many inspired by you), the better my performance became on the bjj mats (surprise surprise), I feel your channel is a gold mine for bjj practicioners. And on top of that I even gained muscle mass and definition. Maybe I just trained harder lately haha
Thanks to my chair for strenghtening my L-Sit, when I watch some videos I sometimes hold my chair and do L-Sit, over time it gave me a lot more strenght (but I still have a long way to go)
He the Bioneer is not a gymnast, not on steriods and not an athlete by his own admission. Who would do an L-sit on a pole across a 200 ft hill? The Bioneer never ceases to impress! Cheers! To the core Adam!
He is a beast alright. I love the set of L sit to bent arm handstand on the parallete, super advanced stuff.
Upvote this to the stratosphere so the Bioneer knows this is what we all think.
Not that I care but I thought a long time ago he said he was trying some PEDs?
I found a tank in the park and did an L sit in the Cannon I guess you would call it that I'm not a tank guru and if you're wondering tanks are pretty common where I live just in my area we have 2 they don't work obviously.
To the core 🍻
0:08 : “I’m not quite there yet”
1:10: *is literally there*
That’s rapid progress if I ever seen one...
He needs to do a video on how he did that...
Typically (for me at least) you're able to do a movement sooner than you predict if you stick to training, but it requires your max strength. By the looks of the video, he already pushed it to 2 but by the end of it he was shaking lol
He was talking about people being able to do v-sits into handstands and how he’s not there yet so he will do an L-sit instead 🤷♂️
He did that but he didn't had full control and shakes a bit. Which is much more impressive approach than "i almost killed myself while trying but i kinda did that once so i can" that most people have
9:42 has Grant making our guy feel inadequate for no good reason
its actually insane to see how huge his core is. this is what real athleticism results in, just a huge thicc core that looks like a barrel
A compliment which sounds like an insult lol
I always find it funny that a narrow waist is considered more aesthetic and in shows the jacked super strong guys generally have huge arms, legs, chest and upper backs but an imaciated “but diced” core. Talk about firing a cannon from a canoe
@@MotoguyX5
What a great analogy lmao
@@MotoguyX5 what if u do stomach vacuums for ur core? Could that be a reason, although I agree his core strength is massive
Exactly. I started to do more compound movements with martial arts and instead of looking like men's physique I'm starting to look like a fridge.
I like it tho and feeling strong AF
Why do I feel like this channel is both huge and also sorta undiscovered still?😂
He has almost half a million subs though
Not for everyone.
Only true knolagbele.

Great exeecise. I am 6ft2 over 200 pounds and use it regulary. Buy the poles and train them.
5:57 it's these shots that always get me. my dude's a cylinder of muscle
So happy that this channel is growing, you deserve it!
"Fuck Grant" hahahah that got me!!
Keep up the good work man I love your stuff
Your timing is insane! I just learned about this exercise 2 days ago
You're kinda getting that Henry Cavill physique from Man of steel lol. Keep up the good work bro! Love watching your videos before I train.
This is the earliest I've ever commented, I love your range of information, and range of motion. Keep up the good work!👍
7:45: Oh my god. Going from L-Sit into handstand from that of a low position is absolutely sick 🤯
Its so great to see Grant..... follow Grant on his channel as well. Its really great
bioneer is the batman of our day aesthetically. the willingness to put your body threw these variations!! inspiring. grant is definitely nightwing

This is a channel that deserves million + subscribers. The content is some of the best I've ever come across.
As soon as I finished watching this, I finally found a use for those yoga blocks I got for Christmas.
Stay at it your lifestyle helped me save my own life. Crawled threw woods massive body injuries and half dead and alone. I made it cause of
9:39 had me absolutely rolling on the floor. Where is this comedy comming from on this serious channel? And can we keep it?

The Elephant Walk has been a phenomenal addition to my recovery post workout. And I do it first thing in the morning as well.
I love the L-Sit to Planche Variations a lot and just recently started with doing them on the Rings, which is a incredibly fun and way harder exercise.
Awesome channel.
Fantastic uploads.
Every.
Single.
Time.
I'm also "not there yet" but i am basically always doing some form of L-sit in my calisthenics workouts. My favourite is the L-sit on the rings.
L-sit on the rings is next level shit🔥
@@fergomez9967 Yeah thats kinda the end of the L-sit spectrum. My longterm goal is an L-sit iron cross, but first i have to be strong enough for the cross :D
I miss my pullup bar :(
I used to practice L-sit on there
(Couldn't and still can't do it - properly - ...YET. Nearly had one before, though.)
@@abigwhale1043 Just keep practicing on the ground till you get another pullup bar

Some beautiful camera work and editing in this one

This is one of the best fitness channels on youtube
Came over from Greg Doucette's video. Excited to follow and see more of your content!
Ik grant got hands. He movin like water frl 💯
Thanks for this. I've been out out the gym for a while now due to injuries. Now getting back into it & I'd forgotten about this.
Yesterday I achieved my first L sit pull-ups. Thanks for the information and inspiration!!!
Great stuff as always! In Gymnastic Bodies, it's just a progression step on the path toward manna. I'm up to 4x48s on 1/2 L-sit (like the tuck position at 6:48). Pike pulse (7:52) is exactly what they tell you to do between sets.
I am on that path too. One minute in the L sit at the moment
The production quality has definitely shot up on this video with Grant's help. Really cool to see you guys helping each other out! :)
Working on the L sit, hip quad and core benefits are great
I can hold a v sit for 30sec, took me many years to get there still refining my form. After i added in a 2nd leg day, the stepness of my v improved a lot.

Always love your videos Adam!
Yeah it's great it was my gateway to calisthenics and helped me build up to all sorts of exsersizes
This channel is underrated
This is such a great channel for comprehensive health and fitness. Love the calisthenics based exercises that not many other fitness channels talk about
9:47 😂😂
Great video again 👌💪
Coincidentally i started to do train the L-sit a week ago, still a long way to perfect it tough
Those videos get better and better, Adam! Keep going!
Here's one for the Algorithm! Well done!
Excellent video. Many thanks. Hopefully some training tips here will help me get there.
Amazing video! L-Sit and V-Sit are actually quite different. V-Sit is actually more triceps strength than core strength. both are amazing exercises
I really appreciate your videos. How in depth they are and how unique they are by noticing that some variations don’t work for some people, but I have one question… how are you so close to such a beautiful river and not stopping to cast a line?
Keep up the wonderful work.
Go Adam! Go Grant! Go Bioneers!
Your presentation of the video is top notch. Great shots!
Awsome video Adam.
Any thoughts on the Turkish get up
Hey there Adam, I have been wondering this for a long time.
If training in cold weather and water has its benefits, what about the opposite? Does training in a hot environment and hot water have its own benefits
Would love to see a research and analysis from you on this
I think it helps develop heat shock proteins at some point
Helps build character but nothing more
Love the pike pulse. Will be good for focusing on my weak links
Thanks for this, will give it a go. I’m currently working through Super Functional Pump routine and making great progress.
Thank you for the vid! Yes, working on my L-sits as part of my Yoga practice. It is a process working on that compression and strengthen and lengthen. Little by little getting there!
L sits and windshield wipers were my favorites back in the day before I started lifting weights
Thanks for making the video, I look forward to making that part of my “exercise program”. I will also be checking out Grants channel. I’m 41 and my hobby is self preservation
Great video. Please ensure you keep showing the easier options as well. That helps the likes of me to enjoy some gains and progress
i really needed someone to show me that elephant walk, thats what i needed in my life. thank you Bioneer.
Can you make an in depth video or series all about stretching?
Hi Bioneer,
Amazing Video as always with precise content and elaborate description.
I would be very grateful f you could make a Video on fixing Scapular Winging. Thanks :)
This gives me hope
Always great videos, but added bonus that this one was shot so dynamically. Great team!!!!
I always challenged myself keep it up
I do them using rings, the Hanging L-Sit and Support Hold L-Sit.
Another awesome new exercise in the repertoire. Thanks, love your work..
Nice video m8
You seriously are a good ass TH-camr and I’m surprised you don’t have way more subscribers.
Are you gonna make an another bodyweight training? Love the content btw🙌❤
Well done as usual...we gotta get Grant in some Vivos bro!!!!

Will definitely try this thanks
Straight up!
Just tried an L-sit for the first time, and HOLY CRAP I really feel it in my abs, like nothing I've ever felt before.
Do this kind of video for each and every exercise
Thank you for all your awesome videos. I have both your books. Great stuff.
Love this channel 😀😀
Awesome video. Thank you.
Can you make a video explaining the benefits of balance? I think it's an underrated goal people miss and would love to hear your take on it
hello from Canada
I definitely do L SITs in the public gym and no one else I have ever seen use the Parrallettes at all so they are always available 😄
