Ladies and Gents, I've been playing around with some very light additional strength moves, just practicing, playing, see what I can do/can't do as I'm doing S&S primarily. On rings, I can do L-sits holds above the rings, tight, arms external rotated, all good. L-sit below the rings and hold too. However when I try to go higher with my legs to touch the rings or close to them, which I can do but I lose the straight arms and in so doing pull with my arms rather than the lats....and then my back rounds. I don't have a bar, only rings. Whilst there is more play on the rings is it better then just to keep the legs to an l-sit rather than lose form going higher? I know, well remember Pavel saying, about doing hanging leg raises from an old fashioned ladder wall where you can grip with back supported to avoid a back bend to develop greater leg raise strength....hence why I think it may be as well to keep them lower. And when I've done them that way don't get anywhere near elevated, only to just over 90. Any pros and cons? I can go up to an inverted straight hang, but it is more momentum and bad form I think rather than strength and technique. Many thanks
