Bodyweight Bring Sally Up challenge?

[the hansenator]

Is there a best way to train for the Bring Sally Up challenge? Besides just doing it?

My wife decided she wants to work on it. It seems sometimes that training for an event is different from doing the event so I thought I'd ask.

What does that develop, slow twitch fibers I assume?

Thanks

Here's an old thread about that

I discovered this video by chance. It isn't easy.

Good suggestion at the end.

We do it 3--5 times per week at the office. Bodyweight squats. Not neccearly hard, but a good way to get the blood flowing!

Best of luck to her!
I read it's 30 reps: 8, hold, 5, hold, 5, hold, 12

What exercise is she going to do? Pull-ups are pretty tough, push-ups or squats not so much for me.
As noted, it’s approximately 30 reps plus holds.

She's doing pushups. I wasn't aware it's done with other exercises but I suppose why wouldn't it be?
