Talking WELCOME ERIC CRESSEY!!!

Mike Robertson? Eric Cressey? Jeez, who's next? If Christian Thibideau or Mark Verstegen show up no one will even be surprised anymore.

Eric, I really like your work, and I am super-excited that you've dropped into our little slice of the Internet. You may or may not remember that we exchanged briefly last year. It's hard to believe someone so young already has such a large body of work and loyal following. I look forward to seeing your contributions in here.

We're going to have to get all you higher level guys chatting down in the Advanced Training forum so we can all watch from the sidelines and learn from you.

WELCOME!

JP, we're going to need an "Ask The Coaches" sub-forum soon with all these great names in here.

I'm not very knowledgeable about your work, so based on the kudos of everyone here at JP's, I've got some reading to do!

Welcome, Eric.

Sweet I've been reading a lot of your stuff, Eric, being an athlete, and I can't wait to transfer the knowledge and ideas I've learned into the weight room.

Welcome Eric! I really like what you've done with the following!

1. Magnificent Mobility - GREAT product, I use the drills every workout!

2. Locker room posts at t-nation - have followed these for months!
Very helpful, knowledgable and articulate!

I worked in Beverly for a couple of years. I'm now in Watertown. You're more than welcome to stop in for a workout any time you're on your way to visit the family!

Would you believe that I was a Babson guy for two years? My brother, sister-in-law, and new baby niece live in Reading.

And, I might not be far off from getting back to Beantown permanently myself...

Well, if you do find yourself back here, and you offer any kind of training open to "outsiders", let me know!

I'm a MA native, until post college. Do I get a free tip for that? At least I still live in an "M" state.

There might be; I couldn't tell you, as I haven't been there in years. My family members there have a different last name than I do, so I'm not sure how many there are in town.
