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
