Do you want to be ripped like a gymnast?  If your answer is yes, then the L-sit should be part of your program.  The L-sit will strengthen your core as well as increase grip strength.   Today our skill work is the L-sit (also referred to as the L-hold).  An advanced level of the L-sit would be to perform the movement on rings.

 

 

 

 

 

Before you make an attempt on the rings, check out this video for an L-sit  progression.
