No need to try such a jump. Just move up to 120lb. You may not think you're feeling it, but your body does notice the difference in load. 3 5's just isn't much volume and going from 3 10's to 5x5 might be a quick switch. Small steps make the longest continued progress.

I'm normally fast on lighter squats, and as they get heavier, I still keep the actual exercise as quick as I can.
It'll all about intent isn't it? Even if I can't move a weight fast I'm trying.
