Coach's Tips

This advanced move works your back and core at the same time. Keeping your legs in an L-shape takes a lot of stability, so you’ll really challenge your abs.

How to L Sit Pull Up

Starting Position

1. Grab the pull-up bar shoulder-width apart and hang.

2. Lift your legs forward to form an L shape. Engage your core and keep your legs parallel to the ground.

Proper Form

1. Pull up until your chin is over the bar.

2. Keep your legs and body aligned as you rise.

3. Lower yourself slowly back to the start.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when you pull your body up, and inhale when you go down.

Precautions

1. The difficulty is high for beginners, so proceed after you have sufficient strength and core stability.

2. Be careful not to strain your back and shoulders, and keep your abdominal strength engaged to prevent your legs from sagging.

3. Don't overdo it and proceed according to your fitness level.
