Muscular Endurance Training to Near Failure
Train the exact movement you want to improve using high-specificity bodyweight drills such as push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, dead hangs, planks, and wall sits. Practice them often and take sets close to failure to build muscular endurance and improve performance in that exact pattern through repeated, targeted exposure.

“So a really good muscular endurance training protocol, according to the scientific literature, would be three to five sets of anywhere from 12 to 100 repetitions. That's a huge range. Now, 12 to 25 repetitions is going to be more reasonable for most people. And the rest periods are going to be anywhere from 30 to 180 seconds of rest.”
