I bought your mobilityand calisthenics program and I'm half way through phase 2 of the mobility program. This exercise and its variations is still to this day the hardest, but has produced the most benefits in ALL calisthenics exercises. I didn't realize how much energy overall is wasted from having weak compression. Thank you!

Hey El Eggs and Sven!! Just a quick comment to let you know my high school age sons and I are deep into your Complete Calisthenics course. We started that after completing your Home Workout. In the pandemic their physical education became almost non-existent, so I took it over and told them they were going to exercise with me. You should see them do pull-ups now. Enough to make a father cry with pride. When we started they couldn't even do one. Your programs are great. Thank you.

This exercise took away 5 years of severe sciatic pain and forward head posture I've been struggling with. Literally the first time I tried it. This is life changing for me. Thank you is an understatement!

It is interesting how something so "simple" is so critical. My understanding is that the increased strength improves also stretches because of the antagonist has a more appropriate counter interaction. Great video!

I love how this guy explains stuff clearly and slowly and what he says matches what he does unlike those videos that speak so fast and say something but show something else.

This looks easy, but its actually hella tough when you havent done exercises like this before. Putting this into my workout sessions, for sure!

I've been following your channel for four years now and my body thanks me for it. My love for calisthenics began with this channel and this Saitama guy doing demonstrations. 🔥

Thank you for conveying us, your knowledge, practical experience, in such a pedagogical, efficient way. That's a gift. Impressive!

So grateful for this channel. After all these years you guys are still among the best. Great video. Thank you.

You define this industry. Thank you Alex for your generosity and knowledge. 🙏Aloha 🤙Bill

I struggled with pistol squats for a long time. About a year ago I started doing this very exercise, after finding an older video of you demonstrating it. After consistently performing it for a little over a month, I attempted pistol squats again and was able to do 5 in one go. That was after not even being able to do 1. Turns out my leg strength was always there, I just lacked in this type of mobility. This is a legit exercise and fixed so many issues I had. Also noticed lower back pain I would sometimes get completely went away. Great stuff as always!

I love exercises that require me to already be in shape to execute.

Your instruction movies are GREAT. Always. They are smart, fun, pragmatic and make it easy to understand what to do. Love your contents. Have started working out "for real" and will switch to your programme as soon as my old fitness contract runs out :-)

I am in week 12 of level 1 calisthenics by these guys. I have my doctorate in PT and I have to say.. these guys are incredible, detailed, and simple to understand. I am so excited to move though each week and see what I become all said and done! Level 5 here I come!!!

I love the instruction! U teach in all levels! Thank you so much!! It gives us weight lifting people who never cal in extreme, to learn how to do this! What accomplishment when I can do some of this!! 😃🥰

I did it in my kitchen floor just to see how it felt to do the sitting leg raise and immediately felt it in my abs

The explanation and visual aids are top notch 👍🏻👌🏻 thank you 🙏🏻

When I was training for L sit and L raises I found out hip flexors are the most important part to get neglected on. Once I started doing straight leg raises L sit and raises got so much easier. Definitely add this in your routine!

THAT'S HARD!! I'll keep this up and see how I progress. Thank you!

I am including this move in my workouts!!! so thoroughly explained!! Thank you so much. You guys are the best!!

This works filks ! I did this exercise a lot (it is included in the mobility program) and it has helped me unlock the L-sit in the complete calisthenics program.

Always funny when this guy acts like he couldn‘t do an exercise correct

I suffer from chronic low back pain and this exercise is extra hard for me. But I’ll try my best. Doing calisthenics have helped me with shoulder pain tremendously but unfortunately haven’t helped my low back pain which affects my quality of life! Thank you so much for these videos you have no idea how they helped me and motivate me. You are the primary reason why I have abandoned the gym and switched to calisthenics.🙂

Thank you Alex. Your level of fitness is inspiring.

This exercise is the final part of my student’s warm up in every class! I highly recommend super setting with toe touches to help increase flexibility and learn to relax in a stretch

Exceptionally well produced! Maximum learning, no waste of viewers’ attention.

I've been ill for the last few years. My mobility has suffered. My dr suggested that I start a calisthenics routine to get my body slowly back in shape. I know many of these are too advanced, but I like this! Thank you

yes finally a new video! Guys I would really love some videos focused around gymnastic rings please 🙏

I ordered the mobility program today with your black Friday promo. Can’t wait to start fixing this anterior pelvic tilt!

I now do this after seeing it for the first time in one of your previous videos. It's much harder than it looks! But such a great exercise.

Calisthenic Movement has completely changed my training! Now I really know what I'm doing, I am much more aware. And it's only after their Home Workout program!

Great content and great overview of do's and dont's. Thanks man!

Love your attention to detail on seemingly simple moves :)

OUTSTANDING! Thank you for this information.

Thank you..dude has a perfectly proportional body to strive for. Fitness is wealth.

I really enjoyed your video. I can't do a single one yet ..... going to practice every day ! Thank you for taking the time to share these. :)

Great exercice and advices, I'll put this exercice in my next workouts ! Thanks 😘

I love that you included what to do if you start from complete rock bottom and how you encouraging you sound

Wow, this is a hard move! This means I need to do it more. Love your content thanks guys x

This is an amazing video! Always great stuff from Cali movement!

Oh my goodness 😳! Wow that was hard 😬. I love the way you put this video together. Tons of info and demos but short time ⏲! Thank you and you just got yourself a new subscriber 😁.

The first time I did sitted leg raises with wide legs stance, I got such a huge cramp like I've never felt before. Super important exercise!

Perfect, needed this!

Thank you so much! I just started doing calisthenics and this is so useful🙌🔥

Thanks Alex, Clear ad concise instructions.. I'm subscribed...

You really have beautiful movements. Thank you for another didactic video.

Awesome video! Thank you!

I feel like this is the missing move in my core rebuilding progression. Thank you for this great video!

thanks for the nice info and practice!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been practice yoga asanas for years and I realized that I always have a hard time bringing my leg between my hands in low lunge. This is exactly the exercise I’ve been missing! Thank you for this informative video.

Good job . Short and to the point.

Great video thanks for posting

Thanks for sharing this video! You are the Best. Greetings from México.

Thanks, great video!!

Such a joy to watch

Thanks for this video. I struggle to get a strong contraction in the abs with many other movements but this one gives them no other choice than to squeeeeeze.

44 yrs old, and have always tried to work out. I have to say, the only thing that has worked for me are these callisthenic exercises. Free weights did very little for me, but at the moment, with my move to parralette L-Sits, my body has become so tight, and my tummy never looked better. I really like channels like yours to keep us motivated and that helps with our progressions.

SITTING LEG RAISE 0:16 improve: - spine mobility - quad strength - hamstring flexibility - compression strength -> 0:24 for many exercises: - the press to handstand - toes to the bar - V-sit 2:08 dynamic leg raise 2:33 11/5 10×2 (a bit further, not far from the ground) 12/5 10×3 13/5 10×4

You did a video on this a while ago and I do this ever since. Very good execise. A lot tougher than it looks

Great video...as usual, impressive strength and muscular coordination.....too good!

Awesome video. Thank you.

Wow. Amazing information thank you

The control and flexibility of this man are incredible.

I cant wait to try this, i have a bad lower back and its everything to try and find all exercises to stretch that sucker out and make it work. This looks excellent plus its a stable position for me, i am not going to fall over if my back spasms, yet its working out a bunch of muscles. I seriously love this. Oooh so cool. I also see in another’s comments you have a program out i wasn’t aware of,.. i will go look for info, thanks for the video!

This is my favorite exercise guy, I save these workouts every time he posts them.

I've never seen or heard of that one. Thank you for sharing it.

I already saw your video on this excercise, but the presentation this time ? Godlike

the most important thing I like about your channel is how you describe it. Alsolute cracking and easy to remember . Thanks

Thank you for this lesson

Great video! I just had to massively down size and sell nost of my home gym equipment so calisthenics is definitely going to be a bigger part of my excercise regime.

Great video, good explanations, nice editing. thanks!

I think I'll watch more of these. Pretty amazing.

Excellent video with super execution

Me viene genial. Justo tengo estos problemas. Gracias.

I literally started doing this yesterday before even knowing about this video because I couldn't hold my legs up during the L sit without getting a cramp in my quads. I can't wait to see it helps my flexibility. It's also a good core excercice. Thank you for showing me how to do it safely and properly.

Thanks el eggs. Im on phase 3 of calimove and I was doing it wrong! I was leaning back and not having my hands flat. I have tight hamstrings and posterior pelvic tilt. Ill work on just flexing quads until I can do it correctly.

The body language when doing demonstrations - comic gold!

Huge respect to the authors of this channel. They've done for my better health much more than any doctor.

Awesome. I needed this!

This man is awesome 👌 really powerful, love your videos dude

Thank you Boss!

Great instructions love the demo's ❤

Excelente video, muy profesional , muchas gracias por la información!!

You guys are amazing. Great vid!

holy shit, haven't seen your stuff for a while, and you are becoming a truly impressive video creator!

Thank you, really helpful!

Fantastic!!! 👊👊👊

I recently switched to doing leg raises while propping myself up on parallel bars instead of lying down (trying to work my abs). But I can’t do it with straight legs. Will add this to my routine to hopefully start making progress towards that. Thanks.

Thanks for showing the simple versions. Too many videos assume you are both young and very fit to begin with. Mid 60s. I can do the version with the hands closer to the hips and one leg at a time. Not looking to do hand stands. Will be happy when I can lift both legs with hands beside the calfs.
