so you had 10lbs in each hand or more than that? then you did 400 walking lunges! that would be pretty tiring
do you squat anymore? that's what i think about when it comes to vertical and speed in the weight room...squat and oly lifts...but i haven't seen a new squatting video on you channel..unless i missed it or something
well i just got back into squatting but i'm not going heavy, and it's more like a quarter-squat jump-squat at the moment.. i don't plan on going heavy anymore.. I go push myself too hard with maximal weights and have gotten some injuries from it.. it's alot safer to push myself with submax weights.. I mean I'd love to work submax (very slow progressive overload) for so long that my max shoots way up, i mean, that has happened as of recent, as a biproduct of those 400 walking lunge sessions + natural ghr's.
so ya i'm going to keep the weights light.
peace man
I know Adam link and a lot of other guys keep telling me to push the weight like it's you max and you will get results

yup that's a great post/blog by him, he's right on the money.
but anyway sometimes i feel that when i do 85% and above on my squat the weight is too heavy to go fast and my form is not good enough either...so i go slow down and as fast as possible up
ya well, you're still pretty young in the training process, so you will get used to heavier weights as you gain more experience.. but regardless, heavy weights don't move fast in general, but as long as you are TRYING to move them fast then you're approaching the rep properly.. if you're doing some single on squat @ 95%, it might take 2-3 seconds to complete the rep, but in your head, you're trying to complete it in one second.. that's the kind of "speed" you're trying to explode through the bar with, maximal rate of motor unit recruitment.
