"Sally" Push up challenge

[TheBootBowhunting]

That was a bit humbling to be honest. Push ups are my bag. I do probably 500 a week inside of workouts. I got to 26 and was toast, I was typewriter arms at 22-23. Thought I would have gas left in the tank at the end. Holding at the bottom is the problem. At least I have a new challenge.

Holy cr@p. I tried it for the first time just now. I made it to 12. I thought the suspended pushups I've been doing on the straps would have helped more! I guess that's not too bad for an old middle-aged guy. I'm going to see if I can get my 13 year old son to do this with me. He just got a 40# heavy bag and has been swaggering around after "working out". Maybe I'll offer him a dollar for every one more than me he can do!

Hit 18, not sure if it was beneficial or not but decided to drop to the knees and do girl push-ups till I hit 26 still couldn't finish.

Figured I better try an all out to see if any progress was made- 20, two thirds of the way.

one week later- I got 25 today I felt really strong through about 22; even had this weird vibe I might finish this damn thing, whees fell off pretty quickly, but am making progress, albeit it slowly

I really focused on keeping my feet, legs, glutes, core tight- that helped, helps doing pullups as well

Just curious what age category everybody is in...

Calf (< 20 years old)
Spike (21-30)
Raghorn (31-40)
Royal (41-50)
Imperial (51-60)
Monarch (> 61 years old)

I'm an Imperial - my best so far is 20

 

[LandYacht]

I like those categories!

[ShortMountain91]

I'm in the same boat as Cameron. Spike but just barely and the old guys are shaming me too!!!

On that scale I'm an aging raghorn. 17 is my best so far but I'm changing some things up this week and hopefully see some improvement by this weekend.

Doing burpees to Sally is another fun one.

We used to do air squats to this, also kind of fun, burbees would be pretty brutal
