Very few movements challenge the upper body like the L pull-up. This movement has been described as the strictest pull-up variation; the body must remain in the static hold of the L-sit, eliminating any assistance or momentum from the body.

The single-leg squat is a challenging body-weight movement requiring a combination of balance, coordination, strength, and flexibility. This highly athletic version of the basic squat is worth the investment of time and energy required to develop it.
