Daniel Burnham Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Yes. Core shoulders back arms and hip flexors are used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WadeWilson Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 (edited) First focus on doing a normal L-sit, then an advanced one(hips forward). Then think about the V-sit Edited August 17, 2014 by WadeWilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flavio85 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 You can do a V-sit without and advanced L-sit; most of the muscles worked are: shoulder depressors (lats, pects, inferior traps), shoulder extensors (lats, teres major, long head of triceps, posterior deltoid), elbow extensors (triceps, anconeus), abs, hip flexors, quads...check here: watch?v=RDkBZEgLJCw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WadeWilson Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Yes sure you can do a V-sit without learning an L-sit. You can also do a front lever without learning a back lever first but that's not the point. Many people fail because they just jump into very demanding elements and they fail. Well, gotta learn how to walk first and then try to run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flavio85 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) I said "advanced L-sit" not "L-sit". V-sit and and advanced L-sit work the same muscles but at different lengths, compared to an advanced L-sit in a V-sit hip flexors are way more shortened, you need shoulder hyperextension, spine flexion, etc. that's why I think an "advanced L-sit" is not necesarry in order to do a V-sit, but it helps of course Edited August 25, 2014 by Flavio85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You couldn't get the legs perpendicular to the floor without some forward hip push. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
