Done. Today I did speed work exactly like Vin does. Slow on the way down and exploding on the way up. Reason behind it was I figured if I need to focus on getting my form back, slow and controlled on the way down would be a good idea so I could focus on pushing up with my belly and driving with my heels. They felt slower than they looked on video. I'll probably eventually go back to 3 reps in 3 seconds but for now this is working quite well.

I've been a little lax on this log and for that I apologize. I'll get back on it after the ProAm. I've been a little focused on my training and work lately.

Here's some video of what I've been doing

Nice meet Travis! Way to push through that sticking point to get it locked out. Been following your meet commentary over at the other place. Welcome to the big boy weight class!
