Eric Striffler's video: Rich Doesn t Lift

I bet you'd never expect Eric Striffler to enter a CrossFit contest, but I did, and I did it the only way I know how: with a pensive video that includes exactly zero dubstep. My good buddy Rich (whom you may recognize... http://youtu.be/yWKwkMR6yg8) gave me some truly wonderful insight, a lot of which didn't even make the final cut, as entries had to be 3 minutes or less. We did not win the contest, but we are very pleased with the outcome of our entry and have been looking forward to sharing it. I really love that this shows a different, perhaps unexpected side of the CrossFit lifestyle, and how regimented exercise can impact far more than just your body. As usual, the music is by Jacky Deng. Hope you enjoy. "Five years ago, Rich Wilson did not have positive feelings about CrossFit. Now a coach at CrossFit Impervious on Long Island, NY, Rich has spent the past few years studying what makes CrossFit work and integrating what he has learned into his every day life. The strength, determination, and unwillingness to give up that CrossFit has instilled in him has improved his relationships, his work ethic, and his diet, and now his goal is to help others come to the same realization and reach their full potential."
