43 y.o. Question from "THE BOOK" L-sit section

[kevp951]

Hi all, the book section on L-sit starting on page 26 has the easiest (L-sit PB-tuck) rated 1/2 man. The hardest (L-sit XR advanced) rated hardest at 5 men. The first photo on pg 26 shows that awesome little gymnast doing the L-sit on the floor but there is no rating for the floor L-sit. Where does it fit in here on the rating system? 1 man, 4men, 5 men ??? just wanting to know. L-sit on my Xtreme Rings actually seems easier to me than the floor because i can barely get my butt off the floor even with shoulders pushed down and the long neck. on pushup bars floor L-sit is pretty easy until i push my hips out to the front. So anyway i'd like both ratings, L-sit on floor with hands, L-sit on floor with parallettes. thanks

L sit on floor is probably slightly harder than on parallettes mainly because it requires more active flexibility in the hip flexors.

A L-sit on the floor will of necessity be rated the same difficulty as a L-sit on the PBs that is horizontal.
