Masters Sunday WOD

Here at Anti Crossfit, there are a couple of holidays we like to incorporate into our daily workout regime.  Some of the more notable holidays are Superbowl Sunday, any college football bowl game, and of course, the second Sunday in April, when golf’s finest compete for the first major of the year, the Masters.  While not everyone is able to attend the Masters in person, we thought we would provide a WOD that would give an experience similar to being there.  As you can see from the menu board at Augusta today, the fine members of Augusta National are true Anti Crossfit supporters.

Augusta Sunday WOD

1. Chicken Breast sandwich every time Tiger misses a birdie putt under 10 feet.  To mimic the sandwich on site, we recommend McDonalds McChicken, hold the lettuce and mayo.

2.  Every time the announcers mention how long it has been or the number of natives to a specific country have won the Masters, drink a beer.  Augusta National serves 8 ounces of Bud Light and Heineken.  Enjoy.

3.  Every time an announcer talks about how a golfer has fallen victim to, or crumbled under, or been unable to overcome, or anything in a similar vein regarding the course conditions and pressure of the tournament, eat a Bar-B-Que sandwich.  The best Bar-B-Que sandwich is a do it yourself version.  Grab a pork shoulder from your local supermarket, a good rub, throw it in a crockpot on high or the oven at 300 degrees for five hours and once ready, shred, mix with your favorite Bar-B-Que sauce and throw on a roll.  We recommend the sauce found at www.cowtownbbq.com; it is delightful.

Post quantities and variations to this WOD in comments below, and enjoy Augusta Sunday.

Opening Day WOD–The Tour de Stade

Tour de Stade means “tour of the stadium” in French.  It is what running all the steps in a stadium or arena is commonly referred to as.  As this is anticrossfit you could have probably guess this workout doesn’t actually involve any running, just eating, drinking, and maybe a little more walking that we would like but it is the only way to accomplish this feat so deal with it.

During the course of a game:

Consume one item from each unique concession stand on the level your are sitting on.

Obviously the 100 level of most stadiums is going to be the most difficult challenge but conquering any level is a pretty amazing feat.  Given the prices of food at sporting events these days this might be a very expensive activity but we believe it is worth every penny.  If you are going to be at Safeco Field we suggest you make sure to “meet the man” and listen to this song before the game (it is actually being performed at Safeco before the game tonight). 

Happy Opening Day Everyone!  We miss you Dave.

Friday Night WOD–The Arbayo

There are few events that transcend cultures and eras like the Keg stand does.  Unlike beer pong, moose, ride the bus, or f the dealer, your parents probably know what a keg stand is, and have probably even done one before.  This challenge is named for Jeffery Arbayo, the silent assassin who once performed a 40 second keg stand.  He also chugged an entire bottle of malt vinegar once but I think that is too disgusting to make a challenge…

See what I mean about transcending eras?  This is circa ‘95.  Notice the cut off jean shorts and the cup of Bud Dry?  

Perform the longest keg stand you can and post your time to the comments sections.  If you throw out some ridiculous number like 1 minute 38 seconds and your name isn’t Kate Brindley you better have video evidence to back it up…Good luck everyone!

Jesse Cook - AntiCrossfitter of the Week

As a world traveller, when he isn’t timing his work trips with epic sporting events like the Winter Classic or the World’s Largest Cocktail Party, Jesse has been known to pound a handful of Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers washed down with multiple Frosties.  In between all the WODs and sporting events, he also has time to mix with the fast and famous and get custom autographs.  Some of his more accomplished WODS include 7 hours on one bar stool and then eating an entire Costco bag of hot wings in one sitting, before falling asleep in the remaining bones.

About Jesse

Favorite Drink:  Lucky Lager
Favorite Video Game:  Daytona USA (1993 Style)

Anticrossfitting–Fantasy Fanatic

Fantasy spots are right in line with our message here at anticrossfit.  They include absolutely no physical activity, require countless hours sitting in front of a computer, lots of watching sports on TV and can bring great glory to a man in his group of friends just like shot gunning a coke or eating an ungodly amount of food can.  Here is a fantastic article from yahoo sports about one of our own here at anticrossfit and his dedication to his fantasy team and a pretty good autograph he got from his “keeper.”  Fair warning, it is fantasy hockey (Court is Canadian) so don’t expect to understand any of it, but it is still pretty cool.

It reads “Court, you are an awesome GM!  Your Keeper, Taylor Hall”

Send us any of your crazy stories about fantasy sports or video games.  And I already know, via your 12 tweets about it, that your fantasy team has like 6 injuries Sherman…

McDonald’s Fun Facts!

Here is a link to an article with some fun facts about one of our favorite restaurants!  My guess is Sherman already knows all of these but it should be a good read for everyone else.

Please post any responses or fun facts that you know about McDonald’s to the comment section.

Thursday WOD–The Dare

If you are looking to start the weekend early this is the exercise for you!  This feat was accomplished by an unnamed anticrossfitter a few years back with Wild Cherry Pepsi.  It has been attempted by others many times since then but I am not sure if it has been duplicated.  Give it a shot and see if you can be the first who is up to the task on record in over 8 years.

For time:

Chug a 2 liter of Pop

Remember the original kind of pop was Wild Cherry Pepsi.  You can try with whatever pop of your choosing but if you do Diet 7 Up or something you won’t get all the street cred that someone who does a real pop will.

Please submit results, pictures, videos etc. in the comments section or email us at anticrossfit@gmail.com.  Good luck!

Wednesday WOD–The Palacpac Snacpac

Thanks to Anthony Palacpac for suggesting Wednesday’s workout.  He is a dedicated anticrossfitter and we appreciate his support!  The workout is geared toward hitting some of the classic spots on First Hill but can be adapted to fit any area.  Palacpac claims that this feat can be done but I have my doubts as it could possibly the most difficult challenge we have posted to date. 

In 22 minutes consume:

-Yoshino’s Teriyaki with 2 extra sides of rice

-Sub Sandwich from George’s

-$15 worth of snacks from Bartell’s drugs

As I said above feel free to substitute your local teriyaki, sub shop, and drug store but Palacpac strongly suggests the aforementioned First Hill gems. Thanks again to Palacpac for submitting this great workout, we encourage all of our readers to continue to submit their ideas, pictures, stories, etc. and we will get them up on the blog.  If anyone gives this one a try please let us know how it goes!  Good luck!

What is your favorite anticrossfit exercise?

We want to hear what your favorite meals, drinks, video games and anticrossfit activities are!  What do you consider the most impressive anticrossfit feat you have ever seen, accomplished, or attempted?  Email us stories, ideas, pictures, videos, etc. and we will include them on the blog.  Our email is anticrossfit@gmail.com

Thanks everyone!  We look forward to hearing from you!

Tuesday WOD–The O’Dea McDonald’s Challenge

This challenge is named for the extraordinary feats accomplished at McDonald’s by the distinguished young men of O’Dea High School.  Many O’Dea students can be spotted making the trek down Boren before school, at lunch and after school to grab a delicious meal at the McDonald’s on Madison.  Don’t let the name discourage you though, we encourage all anticrossfitters to try this challenge, O’Dea students probably just have the most practice.

In one day consume:

6 Egg McMuffins for breakfast

6 McDoubles for lunch

Each meal should be consumed in less than 22 minutes as I believe that is how long the lunch period is at O’Dea.

Be sure to post your results and how you felt after in the comment section.  Good luck!

Championship Game WOD–The Final Four

We know that tonight is the championship and there are not four teams remaining but this workout works with the number four so we are going with that.  Whether you are planning on watching the game at a bar or just at home with friends we would hope you have the necessary ingredients for this workout handy.

 

For time consume:

Four beers

Four slices of pizza

Four buffalo wings

Four mozzarella sticks

Feel free to substitute or add other foods that you have available at whatever viewing party you are attending.  Post times and any changes to the prescribed workout to the comments section.  Good luck and Go Butler!

Sunday Night Cool Down–3 Hours of Vids

Nothing helps wind down a weekend like a good video game sesh.  Tonight’s workout should help keep your mind off the pending school or work week ahead.

Play 3+ hours of video games.  NCAA Football, Madden, Halo, Call of Duty, Xbox, PS3, PC, whatever works with the only exceptions being no Wii Fit or Kinect (obviously way too much physical activity involved). Rule of thumb: If you have to get off of your couch to play it is not an Anticrossfit endorsed game.

Be sure to post what you played and the results to the comments section.  Good luck and have fun!

Saturday Recovery WOD–The Patty Wagon

This WOD is named for Patrick McHugh’s legendary quests to hit multiple fast food restaurants in one trip.  It was not uncommon for Patrick to go through the drive through at Wendy’s, a Taco Bell/KFC, and grab some snacks at 7-11 and eat them in the parking lot of 7-11 while he scratched away at some scratch tickets.  Nothing heals the pain of a rough Friday night like ungodly amounts of greasy food and some gambling so give this WOD a try!

In one hour:

Spend over $10 at two fast food restaurants (or $6.50 at three) and consume everything

For extra credit:

Go to 7-11 and buy scratch tickets and some snacks and consume the food and snacks while you scratch the tickets in the parking lot.

Please post what fast food places you go to, what you order, if you won on any scratch tickets, photos, videos and whatever else in the comments section.  Good luck!

Friday Night WOD - Spencer Hawes' Seattle Two Step

Consume:

1 Blue Water Steak and Shrimp Burrito

1 Dick's Deluxe

2 Dick's Cheeseburgers

2 Orders of Dick's Fries

1 Vanilla Shake

Obviously we understand that not everyone has access to a Blue Water Taco and a Dick's Drive in so feel free to substitute your favorite burrito and burgers in place but it will be tough to beat the delicious fusion of these two fine establishments.  Thank you to Spencer for your dedication.

Remember to post your times, photos, videos, and what you substituted with if you were unable to obtain some Blue Water and Dick's!

Friday Midday WOD–The T.O.

Looking for something to get the weekend started off right?  Or get you through that Friday afternoon lull?  Here is the perfect WOD.  Named for Taylor Olson’s legendary feat of shotgunning a Coca Cola Classic’s syrupy deliciousness this WOD attempts to re-performs greatness in just a matter of seconds. 

Shotgun 1 Coca Cola Classic for time

Please post times, pictures, stories, and whatever to comment section.
