I have a home workout and a Gym workout . I am 72 and have been working out since a teen
My morning workout is: 350 V Ups, 350 weighted right and left oblique crunches, 75 bridges, 75 push ups, I fast walk the 10 floors of my apartment building . down and back up non stop. I wilderness hike as often as I can, so being in shape is a must. I also believe in forced workouts. Some mornings I do all of the above to muscle screaming quivering failure. I am an Endorphin Junkie. A lot oif guys retire, the get soft, weak, out of shape, and miserable. I wont have any part of that.

impressive. And the last sentence says it all

That said, I do avoid things like hundreds of v-ups simply because it puts s lot of grinding wear on the back.

I greatly prefer a small number of much more intense motions, with the back in tension (e.g.: Hanging). Its all in my blog.

Hey any of you local? (I know one of you is). We should set up a time/place and do something like this - rally challenging, get insane pumps, proceed...:-)

Impressive =)

I bet most here wouldnt even finish the Sally Challenge. It's just 30 tho but holding in between so it feels more like 45ish.

The Sally is a tricky one indeed. But I accept every Sally challenge at every body weight exercise

That's a pretty tough workout...but I think that's the point.
I could probably to 70% of that challenge.
I know I'd probably end up getting roped up or taking it up the ass.

Same. I can probably do the sit ups, do the push ups and curls with a bit of training and fail at the pull ups

when we did the pushup challenge, here years back, nearly everyone was falling like flies at 1 set of 50-60 push ups (done properly, with video supervision). 3 x 50 is a lot.

Done "properly" is the key here. Most not gonna hit that way the 50s. Myself included. I've seen too many versions that are more for number bragging than actual pushups.

U got that right. Video tells the tale :-)

In trhe end there were only two competitors left, me and another guy, at 115 consecutive, clean. No one else was even close. It was f-ing brutal. But I can't tell you how great the pec pump was :-)

To me the real learning of that experience was how little equipment one needs to build muscle. Failure and fatigue can be achieved many ways. I'd argue few have ever been there.

I think I have one of the earlier videos still on my profile - more like 85-90 tho. but still a great pump. do that every day or every other day and feel the gainz.

I followed the challenge back then indeed. You did an awesome job. My pr on push ups is 75 (correct form) but I am nowhere close at the moment

that's a tough challenge - and very similar to my "on the road" workout. 3 x 25 real, honest wide grip pull ups is beyond 99.9% of the populations ability.I've seen the struggling in otherwise athletic people in the gym....

This is a simple one that requires no equipment. It is fun because the athlete's own body becomes his nemesis.

Trainees must agree to all exercises, non-stop. Trainer uses a mixture of classic positions: pushups, situps, planks, burpees, jump jacks, along with flexing holds (double biceps, thighs, pep popping). Random order, random sets, over and over. Any time trainee fails to complete a deremit is earned.

Sample: 50 pushups, 50 situps, 25 burpees, biceps for 20, 20 pushups, 50 jump jacks, 2 minutes pec popping, 2 minute plank, 20 burpees, 20 situps, 3 minutes biceps, 35 situps, etc.

Keep going until trainee lies on the floor exhausted. Tally deremits and mete out in favorite fashion.
