CrossFit, Weightlifting, And Strongman NEED Something Like The Beer Mile
Yea, you can snatch a lot of weight or you're really great at atlas stones or kipping pull ups, but what about mixing drinking and working out? While it may sound like a terrible (or awesome?) idea, the Beer Mile is exactly what you get when you mix alcohol and elite athletics.

A sub 5 mile is pretty impressive on its own, and absolutely nuts when you throw 4 beers into the mix. I'd love to see this sort of thing implemented in our favorite sports:

  • The Beer Total
    • chug a beer before every attempt in a weightlifting meet, chug a penalty beer if you miss the lift
  • The Strongman Beer Medley
    • chug a beer, yoke carry
    • chug a beer, farmers carry
    • chug a beer, sandbag carry
    • chug a beer, keg toss
  • BeerFit Helen
    • 3 rounds for time of chug a beer, 400m run, 21 kb swings, 12 pull ups
Check out the epic battle between defending Champion Corey Gallagher and the World Record Holder Lewis Kent that resulted in two performances under 4:50 and a NEW World Record and let us know in the comments what event you'd like to see Beer Mile-ified!
