David Goggins recently posted on his Instagram to showcase a workout that sounds simple but is far from it. It' only a 30 pushup workout, but you follow the words in the song as to when to go up and down. The song's name is "Bring Sally Up" by HIIT BPM if you want to attempt this workout at home.

30 Pushup Challenge With David Goggins
These rules are meant to be followed.
The only rules for this challenge:
- They have to be perfect pushups.
- Elbows cannot be locked in (arms at a 45-degree angle).
- When you go down, your chest cannot be resting on the floor.
- When you come up, you go till your arms are locked out.
- Don't raise your butt or arch your back.
- Go as long as possible. Song ends with 30 pushups.
Those who want to try the challenge but struggle with pushups try doing the challenge off of pushup bars or off your knees. Another twist you could do with this workout template is to play the same song while doing other exercises, like bodyweight squats, pull-ups, presses, and so much more.
I think I might try this today as a great finisher to my chest workout. If you try it, let us know in the comments if you completed it or if you have other fun workouts like this to try!
