Tom,
I don't feel like I am moving quick enough. Do you have any trigger
words or something to think of to make you stand up faster? I used
115#.

Good work Nat. I did a pullup variation since I don't have a pullup
bar at home and finished in 6:13.

Jacqui,

do have any means to shoot video of yourself and send to me or post
on youtube or vimeo and send me the link? it's kind of hard to tell without
seeing you. on squats, the cue is to drive out (think applying pressure from
your feet outwards on the floor). When you drive outwards versus down, the hips
are more explosive and you return to a standing position quicker. it also takes
some time and consistency to develop this speed strength. make sure that you do
them at least 3 weeks in a row, possible longer as you're developing the
technique.
Tom
