"Sally" Push up challenge

[BDRam16]

Challenge is set to the song "Flower" by Moby. It sounds like he says "Bring Sally up, bring Sally down." He actually says green Sally, but that's irrelevant.

Whenever he says Sally up, you push up. Whenever he says down, you go down to a 90* elbow bend and hold there until he says up again. There are only 30 pushups, but you're always holding at the bottom so it's definitely tough. It's basically a 3 minute push up plank hold with 30 pushups added. You're supposed to do it once a day and keep track until you can complete the challenge.

Here is the video where someone explains the challenge better and it has the music and counter for you to keep track. Music starts at 2:40.

I got 20. Probably didn’t help that I just walked into the house from back day at the gym. My quads were burning. I’ll try tomorrow before I go to the gym.

Fun workout with barbell squats.

That would be painful. Wouldn’t take much weight to get the quads burning!!!!!!!

Ya that has what has been hard, I've been doing it every night before bed but I've done some kind of HIIT workout every day using burpees and pushups so I haven't been doing so hot lol.

Wow, that was humbling.

I‘m here watching the NFC championship pursuing the ‘Slide and think, “30 push ups? Easy work.”

I started feeling it at 9, lost form at 15 and failed at 19.

Day 4: 12.....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!

Here's the video my kid's and I used to be able to keep track better...

Thank you @BDRam16

I've only done it with a barbell...back squats @ 135#

No matter what exercise you choose, it becomes increasingly difficult the farther you make it in the song.

I've done it a few times this way as well. It SUCKS.
