I managed 43. This was MUCH harder than I thought. I think I’m out of touch with my back squats. As I used to knock out sets of 20 with 140. Today I struggled to 6. But it is done. I will be doing this again with the deadlift soon. Same deal.
FYI - 67 is amazing. I forgot to congratulate you. Did you use straps?

Today
Bonus session, decided to get this in just for some maintenance on neglected stuff. Same principle as easy strength, not coming close to missing a rep:
Hatfield SSB squat 100kg - 2x5
DB chest supported row 20kg - 2x10
B hip thrust 60kg - 2x12 each leg
DB side lateral raise 7.5kg - 2x10
Rear delt row 7.5kg - 2x10
Donkey calf raises 24kg - 2x20
Concentration curls 7.5kg - 2x15 each arm
Flat bench 1 arm skullcrusher 7.5kg - 2x10 each arm
Star pullaparts 5x10 each side
Pallof press - 2x15 each side
Db bench didn’t feel easy so leaving it at 30kg for next session, this one as with chins won’t go up every time. Think I’ve got a good gauge on when things are easy enough to go up in the principles of the program, in this spirit will whack my deadlift up by 10kg for next one
Got into a nice routine with this program, do miss the strenuous lifting but the heart raising finisher does make it feel like I’ve done something. Down 2.5lbs from last weeks starting body weight but first couple of weeks always the easiest. Actually finding fasting element fairly easy doing around 15 hours depending on what meetings I’ve got in the morning, definitely find couple of cups of coffee first thing are a great appetite suppressant but on the downside I’m pissing like a racehorse
Hatfield squat 105kg 2x5
Db chest supported row 22.5kg 2x10

So my Swiss bar turned up yesterday, I dropped a bollock when ordering it and didn’t check the details on eBay. It’s a mirafit (which i knew) and only fits a mirafit power rack as it’s collars are larger than a normal BB (which I didn’t read). Doesn’t fit in my squat rack but does fit in my squat stands nicely, only downside is I can’t use it to do chins off which I planned to just to do neutral grip. I will keep it however as I can still do everything else I want it for. Really liked benching with it and am including it in my program and alternating between unilateral press and Swiss bar pressing. Felt a bit shaky coming off the rack but once I’d done the 1st set it seemed to get easier as I got used to it
Overall weekly total weight lifted was 11736kg up by 758.5kg from last week. Might not do the bonus session and just do some sprints or conditioning, see how I feel tomorrow but got some weird shit going on with my right hand around the wrist and feels inflamed, chins were a bit of a struggle which they shouldn’t have been
Decided to skip my bonus lifting session after listening to my body and do some conditioning:
16kg KB Grace - 21-15-9
Snatch (each side)
Goblet squat
Goblet lunge (each side)
Done in 11:27
Got this from WOD generator app and knew straight away it would be hideous.
Went to make a start on some Weighted vest sprints but pulled my calf on 1st set so decided to go for a walk instead for 2 miles.
