strong enough?

Mostly, depends on where I am in my training cycle. Sometimes I need the weight to move fast, or I'm at a point or weight where it should move fast, and if it doesn't that could be problematic. Other times, it doesn't matter how slow it is, so long as it moves. Though, I am always trying to move the weight as fast as possible. Unless I'm being stupid and need to give myself a kick in the pants.
If I want more time under tension, I'll just do more volume. The only time I slow down the negative is either if I'm dive bombing the weight and it's throwing me off, or I want to squat without a stretch reflex.
This pretty much sums up my approach.
