Speed of squats (down and up)

[Confusean]

Hey guys,

I'm 42 / 170 lbs / 5'8" / 18-19 % bf / novice (just finished 10th SS workout) / s-245, bp-155, d-285, p-105 (latest workouts) / increasing squat, bp & dl 10 lb per workout and press 5 lb per workout / chronic rotator cuff problems

Last couple workouts I feel like I'm really slow with getting the squat up (about 3 seconds from bottom to top). I don't feel like it's a grind, could have done more weight and feel like form is holding.

Should I de-load to speed up my squat or am I still ok to keep increasing weight?

You should probably be adding 5lb per workout now, not 10. Try it and see if it makes a difference.
