Hey Everybody. We're Back from Albany. I don't really feel like recapping the weekend. It was pretty awesome, but very long.

Steve posted the top time in the world on his first WOD "Double Under Helen". Then he PR'd on his Thruster with 165#, and got 8th on the Chest 2 Bar Cindy. Good enough for 13th overall worldwide, with two more regions to go next weekend.

Nick got 23rd overall this weekend. He saved his best for last, getting 13th overall on the 3rd workout. 23rd out of the 60 most badass dudes in the northeast....not too shabby.

Also....Greg And Jon killed it as judges, as would be expected, because we awesome at pretty much everything we attempt.

Back to business. We have a lot of work to do if we are going to be representing up there next year and the years to follow.. (Lynn will be eligible for the masters competition in two years)

Pre-Wod - Hang Squat CLEANS - 3-2-1-3-2-1

Seven Sets, Each set must be unbroken

7 Deadlifts @ 65% 1 rep max

7 High Box Jumps (30/24)

Today will be a fun WOD. Why is it fun? Because I get to watch you all do it before I do it on Saturday morning. That's right, yesterday the first two WODs of the Northeast Regionals were announced. WOD 3 will be announced Saturday night and WOD 4 will be announced at the conclusion of WOD 3 on Sunday.

So without further ado

WOD 1:

21-15-9

135# OHS

C2B Pull ups

And for those of you that haven't seen it yet, the second WOD is 3RM Clean & Jerk. We are given a 10 minute time cap to acheive our 3RM where we have a 40 seconds window to complete the 3 reps. That means from when I first lift the bar on my first clean I have 40 seconds to get 3 Clean & Jerks in.

For more information, Northeast Regionals Work out Info

And for those of you that have not bought your tickets, Northeast Regionals Event Info. Tickets will be available onsite, but it will be cash only.

Be warned. I have rediscovered a website that will give me access to many "news" articles. Many of them will make you shake your head in disgust.

Wait, diet pills aren't safe?!

Might have been paleo, but it wasn't smart.

Now, these all don't happen at the sasme time, but it will be the start of the departures and on May 28th, we are planning on Kyle's (as he is the first to leave) going away WOD. You definatily do not want to miss this one as it may be one of the more intense workouts out there. Here is a hint: 30 minutes, psuedo AMRAP. :) Oh, and unlike the Birthday WODs, this need not be a birthday boy only WOD! So prepare yourself and no skipping out just cause you're afraid!
