Can beer and pull-ups coexist?

Beer-ups
Looking over the Beer Runner body of work, you’d think that beer is the best thing to happen to active lifestyles since Bill Bowman’s waffle iron.
But we’re all about the objectivity here at Beer Runner HQ. If there’s contrary evidence, it should come to light.
So I talked to Danny Noonan, who took part in a crossfit workout involving pull-ups, beer chugging, burpees… and even more beer chugging. The occasion was the finale of a Level 1 Crossfit Certification process at Crossfit Milwaukee.
Watch the video here.
The result?
“Looking at the tape,” Danny later observed, “I may have had a pull-up or two that were not legit.”
There you have it. Drink beer, and run the risk of having one, maybe two illegitimate pull-ups.
So please, drink and do pull-ups responsibly.
