Those box squats weren't that bad. Looked pretty good really. Heavy but all in all I'm not complaining.

At 65% don't expect a lot of speed in general. For most it won't feel really fast. Obviously you are more in the strength end of things rather than the speed. From what I can see your speed was a bit better than I expected really and it actually seemed a little faster than last time, especially on the first set (vid). Make sure you rest as much as needed between these to maintain good speed. Don't go by the arbitrary 1 min rest thing...especially at 65%...

Later on after this program maybe you can do more work in the power range or at least the lower end of the strength-speed range so that you can work up speed more. For right now just trying to be as explosive as possible is what it is all about.

I think some of the writings of WSB make people think that all speed work has to equate to a very quick bar movement. This is not really true. There are different contributions that speed make to different intensity ranges. And intention means a lot with it. Intending to move the bar fast is what it is about.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
