Want a big back and big arms? Add Lsit pull ups to your calisthenics workouts!

The Lsit pull up is great for calisthenics beginners who want to take their pull up game to the next level. That's because it's more challenging than regular pull ups, so it's great for building strength and size in your lats, upper back, and biceps. If you can comfortably to 10 pull ups in a row, then give your muscles the challenge they need to grow and try this amazing pull up variation!

What's more, the Lsit pull up also strengthens the muscles that support your scapulae and shoulders. It’s important to strengthen these muscles to keep your shoulders healthy and avoid injuries. I highly recommend adding Lsit pull ups into your calisthenics back workout to maximise your gains, increase your upper body strength, and bulletproof your shoulders.

This tutorial shows you how to perform the Lsit pull up and includes a bunch of the best Lsit pull up progressions. They’re in order of easiest to hardest, so you can conveniently pick the progressions that are most appropriate for your current strength level.

Planche (all planche progressions, including bent arm planche)
Pike push ups
Dragon flag (although I’m training for it so this tutorial will be coming in the next few months)
One arm handstand
Human flag
Most push up variations

It’s mainly calisthenics exercises that involve pushing that are offlimits. However, almost all exercises that involve pulling are fine, so if you want any tutorials for those then let me know! Or, how about legs? Lol. Ok, I'll stop the jokes now.
