How Sally Is Making Men Over 50 Better At Push-Ups

This week's newsletter is a short and sweet challenge for you.

First, let me introduce you to Sally.

I don't know her last name, I'm not sure she really exists but she is kicking our butts this month.

A little background.

Each month we have a challenge at Argent Alpha.

Last month it was cold shower month. A lot of guys have made this a regular part of their routine (if you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it).

Start out with your normal shower and then end with 15 seconds on the coldest setting. Increase your time under the cold and you'll be amazed how you feel when you are done).

A next level version of the cold shower is the cold plunge. One of our members jumps in his pool for 2-3 minutes. The temperature of the water is 50 degrees.

Back to Sally.

Push-ups are one of the core movements we use to measure fitness. Last summer, one of our members known as "The Greek" introduced us to the Bring Sally Up Push-up Challenge. We all have a love/hate relationship with Sally thanks to him.If you listen to Sally and diligently follow her prompts over the next 30 days, you will dramatically improve your upper body and core strength via the tried and true push-up.

Here is the video we have been following.

What makes this program so tough is the combination of time under tension and static holds. If you get through the entire program, you have "only" done 30 push-ups but it has taken you 3:22 to do them.

Every guy in our group who completes the challenge earns the Push-Up Challenge Coin.

So far, two of our guys have successfully completed the challenge. One is 62 years old, the other is mid-50's. Give it a try and see if you can match them.

Drop me an email at [email protected] with your results. Do it 2 times a week and watch your push-ups improve dramatically in 30 days. And if you don't complete the challenge in 30 days, keep going. You'll be happy you did and you'll join a pretty exclusive club!
