Coach Eric writes: “I’m taking a break from coaching to return to my art practice full-time. It has been an honor and a pleasure getting to work with all of the great athletes in my time at CFNYC. I have really enjoyed seeing the effort and progress of each of my trainees. I will miss you guys, and wish you the best in all your journeys. Keep pushing hard, NEVER skip strength days, and don’t let that bearded guy give you too much trouble. If you’d like to see my artwork, my website is www.ericclintonanderson.com. Always feel free to email with any questions (like ‘Why is deadlifting so hard?’ Answer: ‘Lifting weights is not supposed to be easy.’). Best of luck to all of you!”

  • Rory

    A: RGWU
    B: 14:25 RX’d
    First time doing muscles ups in a WOD, judging by my time and number of failed attempts I wonder if I should have scaled it. Shoulders are screaming at me right now, ouch.

  • Gwachsteter

    5:45 rx’d

  • BenS

    7:45 w/ 115# thrusters, 6 strict pullups, 6 ring dips

  • Amanda Long

    A. 50 double-unders and Greg’s warmup
    B. 16:03 – 85pd thrusters and 9 C2Bs and 6 ring dips

    This wod was pretty awful for me. I really need to work on my ring dips and locking out at the top. A big high yesterday, a big low today – well, except for one thing.

    • D

      I think your ring dips are working just fine.

    Eric, I’m eating Peanut M&M’s at the moment and won’t be in class tonight (don’t judge), but wanted to say thanks for:

    - making me secretly laugh when you do that funny hair flip when setting up for a dead lift.

    - made fun (I may be making this one up) of the front desk guy that talks about marker tops, rules and other uncool stuff.

    - taking that photo of me getting set to squat the 400 lb’s Ben was taking a break from. I may be making this one up as well.

    Good luck with your artwork. And if all else fails, just throw some paint on a canvas and add a $10,000 price tag.
