1 BRING SALLY UP
For Max Reps
To the tune of the song “Flower” perform the following movements for every mention of:
- Bring Sally Up: Hold top of the Push-Up
- Bring Sally Down: Hold the bottom of the Push-Up (keep chest 1 in off the ground)
To the tune of the song, “Flower”, by Moby, start facing the ground in the bottom of the Push-Up position. When the song says “Bring Sally Up,” press up into the top of the Push-Up position and hold until the song says “Bring Sally Down.” At that point descend back to the bottom of the Push-Up position, but keep your chest about 1 inch off the ground until you press back to the top of the Push-Up at the next “Bring Sally Up.” Continue in this manner for the entire song. Do not rest or let any other part of the body touch the ground while the song is playing.
Score is the total number of Push-Ups you complete before failure. If you complete every rep based on the song’s lyrics you will complete 30 Push-Ups.

Tips and Strategy
Push-Ups will be the crux of this workout. Break the reps up into small sets from the beginning—even if the athlete feels fresh—to avoid burnout in the later rounds. Never go to failure on the Push-Ups. And beware: it might seem like a good idea to go fast in the Sit-Ups to make up time, but if the athlete goes too fast, the core will be too taxed to perform the requisite number of Push-Ups. Keep the pace moderate throughout to be successful in “Blackjack.”
Intended Stimulus
Blackjack Crossing Ohio
“Blackjack” is all about muscular fatigue and overload. The athlete should feel severely taxed in the upper body and core. The challenge: Find the balance between achieving a great score and burning out before the work is done.
Scaling Options
Scale the volume (total number of reps) and/or the skill level of the Push-Ups (see: Push-Up Scaling) to move smoothly throughout the workout. Long rests won’t allow the athlete to achieve adequate hypertrophy (muscle growth). Suggested rule of thumb for “Blackjack”: If the athlete can’t currently perform 20 unbroken Push-Ups, the movement should be scaled.
