Yesterday I really practiced good form for getting my ups and I think I did a good job blocking. My issue was I was standing at the net which left me way to open to roll shots over the block. My next exercise will be to play ~6' off the net so that I can step forward, plant, and block or pull back so I can play defense in a spot where the ball might actually go.

On a related note, at my tournament this past weekend I terminally blocked a ball off of my forearm just above my elbow which tells me I was getting some pretty good penetration/height on my block.
