V-SIT Tutorial๐
The V-Sit can be broken down into 2 simple components: compression strength & shoulder extension.
1. Compression strength: our ability to actively get our torso as close to our abdomen as possible. Main muscles: Hip Flexors & Abs.
2. Shoulder extension: our ability to raise our arms behind our back. Main Muscles: Triceps & Rear Delts.
Here are 3 exercises to improve compression (slides 2,3,4) and 2 exercises to improve shoulder extension (slides 5,6). Finally, nothing beats getting into the position with the right progression for you (slide 7)
A simple V-Sit workout can look like thisโฆ
๐ช V-Sit / Tuck V-Sit Holds 3-5x 10-15s
๐ช Knee Raises 3-4x 10-15r
๐ช Seated Leg Lifts 2-3x 10-15r + 10s
๐ช Bent-Straight Legs Straddle 2-3x 10-15r
๐ช Active Shoulder Extensions 2-3x 8-10r + 10s
๐ช Passive German Hang 1-3x 30-60s
Of course this is just a rough example and based on our own level and limitations, it MUST be adjusted. Finally, stretching the hamstrings is a very good idea ๐
Any questions below!
