Squat:
315 x 10
365 x 8
385 x 8
405 x 8
Felt pretty good on all of these. Still nice and easy while I'm on the mend. I've noticed that my new form seems to pull at the groin some. I think this is a good sign that my form is getting better, but I still need to work on the flexibility. I've been actively stretching, but suggestions for specific stretches are welcome.
Band-resisted Box Squat:
w/ purple (throw some P's on that)
225 x 5
275 x 5
315 x 5
365 x 5
Finished with banded jumps and cable abs.

Dave has that shirt for you if you're interested in testing one out. Let me know if you can make it over to The 4 Star.
Seated groin stretch. Or stretch on the adductor machine.
Watch those adductors. Don't develop an injury like I did. If you are feeling it the day(s) after squatting, reconsider...
@Brent: I'm swamped this week, but I think I can come by next week some time
@Nate: it feels fine now. It's mostly when I'm warming up, I feel it getting in the way of where I want my form to be. I've been using the adductor machine to stretch, like you suggested. I'll try throwing in some seated groin stretch as well. At some point when I feel my form is consistent, I'll post another video to see what you think.
I pull my groin whenever I'm both rested and squat with good form. It's getting better now (when I pull it I am still functional after) but I think that's because of the stretching. I agree that it's a sign your form is getting better, but it's also a sign that you're not flexible enough. You're welcome for not actually contributing anything to this discussion...
