How to do the Bar Tuck L-Sit Hold Dip

Setup

Place your hands on the parallel dip bars, ensuring a firm, secure grip. Push your body up until your arms are fully extended, supporting your weight between the two bars. Keep your shoulders depressed away from your ears to maintain good posture.

Execution

  1. While in the support position, engage your core muscles.

  2. Simultaneously, lift your knees toward your chest, bending at the hips.

  3. Pull your thighs in close while maintaining a stable, rigid torso.

  4. Hold this tucked position for time, ensuring your back remains straight and your shoulders stay active by continuing to push down into the bars.

Key Tips

  • Don't slouch: Focus on keeping the chest open and proud.

  • Avoid shrugging: Keep your shoulders actively pushed down the entire time.

  • Control the movement: Smoothly tuck the legs up without swinging or momentum.
