Sunday:

Trained with the crew at Eastside Barbell.  We took the suspended chains for the second time, today we didn't use the box.  Believe it or not I found this movement easier with a free squat.  Our objective for the hanging chain was to accommodate the chain with 40% of our max.  Our second exercise was a killer, we did safety squat bar squats to a very low box.  The safety squat bar is humbling to begin with, then paired with a 12.5 inch box makes for fun.  I'm also about 6-3 so this had me way below depth.  Finished up with some glute ham raises and assistance work.  My right hip was tight the whole ride back to North Plainfield.
