ExercisesGymnastics and Bodyweight
Written By

Elevating the hands in the straddle L-sit enables the athletes to implement this skill into their training before they have the strength, or the mobility to execute on the floor.

Cues:

  • Keep the hands flat on the box. This builds wrist mobility and strength.

  • Straddle hard and do not rest the legs against the arms for additional support

  • Keep the knees actively locked and toes pointed

Mistakes:

  • Squeezing legs against arms for support

  • Fingers over the edge of the box

  • Lazy legs/Inactive lockout
