   WOD: 14:46ish (24″, 57#)

   I think shorties are at an advantage for L-sits because that wasn’t nearly as awful as I thought it would be. Still took me about 2 minutes, but I assumed I wouldn’t be able to do it at all…

      Unfortunately I don’t think my height was an advantage 🙁 I wish it was!

    SP: 40, 47, 52(x5)
    WOD: 14:16(?) (scaled T2B to 15-10-5 and even so they were comically terrible, 45# push press)

    I can’t hold an L-sit in any way, shape, or form.

    Went for the 80# PP and after 2 reps thought better of it and stayed with 75#…

    WOD: 10:14 Rx (L-sit included in time)

    Full disclosure: I can’t hold my legs completely straight for L-sits, so not perfectly Rx. I did hamstring contract-relax stretching post-WOD as penance.

    I, like Lydia, cannot hold an L sit. It is simply not possible for me. I took the entire 3 minutes, and in that span probably never got an actual L sit. 🙁
