Tuck L-sit

Description

The tuck L-sit is a bodyweight hold where you support yourself on parallel bars, parallettes, or the floor with straight arms while pulling your knees toward your chest. Your hips stay lifted, your spine stays tall, and your feet hover off the ground. The goal is to keep your core tight, shoulders depressed, and arms locked out while maintaining the tucked position. It’s a core-intensive, shoulder-stabilizing static hold often used as a progression toward the full L-sit.
