Technique

How to perform Ring Wide L-Sit Pull-Up

  1. Hang the rings wider than shoulder width and high enough to keep your feet clear.
  2. Grip the rings and steady your body before lifting both straight legs in front of you into an L-position.
  3. Maintain that hip compression as you bend your elbows and pull upward, keeping the rings controlled rather than deliberately forcing them apart.
  4. Raise your chin above ring level without kicking or dropping your legs.
  5. Lower under control until your elbows straighten, allowing your shoulder blades to move with the hang.
  6. Keep the leg position through the repetitions, then lower your legs and return your feet to the floor.
