"Sally" Push up challenge

[NorthIDHunter]

Raghorn. Just found this today. Lucky me tomorrow is March 1st, will be encouraging my 12 year to start this with me tomorrow morning. I bet I don't make it past 10.

Imperial. I bested my 12 from last week with 14 yesterday. We'll see how today goes....feeling kind of slow after a full ski day with my boy yesterday.

Jut seeing this thread. Boosting Eleanor looks way easier.

The holds are killing me. Currently stuck on 13, but that's at least some improvement.

I will say the holds are very mental, so I have alternate lyrics I sing during them...

"Old miss Lucy, she's a whore. Let me extend my arms once more."

Monarch@64, Completed 8. I think I will improve on this as I had covid in January and I am still short of breath and tired.

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

Doing Sally Burpees are my favorite. It is great full body work. Squats are good but burpees are the best.

I yell out that line (the correct line) in pain. Now that I have an alternative lyric I can't let it slip out my mouth cause I do this workout with the kiddos. But that is funny. "Let me extend my arms once more!" I love it.

I only got 14 last night, but I expected that since I already did a bunch of pushups, pull-ups and planking. Pushed through with a couple of breaks to finish the 30 after I failed at 14. I plan to keep this up all week and do the challenge with fresh arms on Saturday to see if I can see some improvement.

I tried 14 reps- 60 second rest/ 14-60 second rest/ 14- only made it to 9 on the last set

I think next one I'm going to try less reps, but also less rest and see how that goes

Still do not have the magic way to best complete this, BUT making some progress

Finally made it past the hold on 14 and got to 17 this morning. Making a little progress.

Day 1 - Um..... well good news is my 12 year old son who is honestly in much better shape than me did not do more than me! Bad news.... we only got 9! Tomorrow we try again.

Well shitters! Went backwards to 18.

I did a pretty hard (for me) upper body workout yesterday, so I'm just going to use that for my excuse...

Haha! This is great, made it to 9 today, push-ups have never been my strong suit. Never been so happy to push back up out of those down holds.

 

[NorthIDHunter]

Day - 2 11 for me, the boy 9, my goodness to get past that first long "Hold" was hell!

 

[ShortMountain91]

13 again but about got that 14th up. Gonna take that step tomorrow

 

[mtwarden]

tried something a little different today- went through the song twice (60 pushups total) doing 12 sets of 5 each w/ a 30 second rest between sets

going to try something completely different tomorrow

Been awhile for me. Been doing my normal workouts while taking a break from this to see if I made any progress. Failed going up to 24 which is where my previous best was, but I had gone backwards a bit. It’s a very tricky game between making progress and not being smoked from the day before.
