L-Sit Hold

Sit on the floor or between two parallettes with your hands pressed down beside your hips. Push down hard through your hands to lift your hips off the ground, then extend your legs straight out in front of you so your body forms an L. Keep your knees locked, toes pointed, and shoulders depressed while bracing your abs hard. Hold the position for time without letting your hips sag.
