"Sally" Push up challenge

[BDRam16]

Almost made it through 19. Got just over halfway up after the 18 rest and failed. The pauses are what makes this stupid thing so damn hard lol.

I tried this today for the first time. I started struggling at 8, failed at 14. I’m a seasonal worker, and my offseason consists of mostly ice fishing and sitting on the couch.

This has me rethinking that approach, that sucked lol.

This was a tough day today, barely pushed through.

Keep going guys, it’s great to see so many joining

Same exact spot again. Through the hold of 18, no real attempt at 19. However, at number 3 my dog decided to rip a nasty ass fart right in my face. So that was pretty awesome.

I’m going to start this, it going to be ugly and embarrassing but I’ll post up results

Failed going up on 14 again on Saturday. Agree the holds make this so much harder.

I lifted yesterday, so skipped it. I did it today, BUT wanted to try something other than doing as many reps as possible. I did 10 reps (roughly a minute), rest a minute and then two more times for a total of 30.

I'm not sure doing as many reps as possible everyday is the fastest way to finish this challenge. We'll see

Tried it the first time and made it to 2:30 - not sure how many pushups as I was focusing on time. Fun challenge!

Not sure which video you’re using, the original video posted doesn’t start until the 2:43 mark, ha

I used this Timer for the challenge:

If you use the original video in the link and skip to 2:40, he has a counter for you so you just look at the counter when you fail. But based on my quick math that should be 25ish? Which is a hell of a start. Good job dude.

Ok, I have to admit a slight advantage in that I am a military reserve/national guard with annual physical fitness testing requirements. Back in the day I used to be able to rock out 110 pushups nonstop.....that was when I was much younger.

 

[mtwarden]

I can knock out close to a 100 pushups, that doesn't seem to be much of an advantage for me

 

[Rossi]

Tried mtwarden's process this morning, resting after each "10". The second 10 has 2 holds (13 and 18) and I died again on 19. Took another rest at 25. I think doing it this way a couple times a week will be helpful.

 

[BDRam16]

Did it right out of bed this morning. Same exact spot. Through the hold of 18. I like the rest idea. I might try a variation of that tonight.

 

[Dalen88]

Wow is this hard!

 

[mtwarden]

^ much (much) harder than I expected

I did three rds of 10 with a minute rest between sets again

 

[Vaultman]

1/30/22 (Day 1): 30 (with squats )... Much less with pushups: 9. So I made it through the first "hold" and back up, but stopping on the sally down is a killer!
......

2/15/22: Kids and I have been alternating multiple exercises so I am not sure how many days I have tried push-ups but did them pretty fresh today and I made 12. So that is an improvement of 3 (or 30% if you look at it that way). Not bad for ol' skinny arms over here.

My arms are smoked from mtntough this week, but next time i attempt, i will be doing mtnwarden's method lol. Seems like that would be a better way to improve and get more of a workout as well
