I've only been recently thinking about this, is this even safe? Pushing my body and forcing it to lift max 3 times a week? I eat properly, get enough sleep. But always find on my last workout (Friday) everything is heavier and it feels like I'm punishing my body.
I've been recently thinking about doing 2 max lift days, and on Friday only doing about 60% of my max, is this fine to do?

Unless you weigh 200kg those lifts are beyond intermediate which is beyond the scope of Starting Strength
Nolan Nelson
you are much stronger than me but it seems like its time for you to move to an intermediate routine like TM or madcows if you want to keep strength training. They are less intense than beginner programs because immediately can't do 3 sets of their max 3 times a week
Jace Cruz
Don't care about muh six packs or muh aesthetics, I'm working out purely for strength.
I like this program.

how have you kept injury free? I've been doing SS for 5 months with weights around half of yours and have had loads of injuries. Tendonitis in elbows and knees, herniated disc amongst other things?
Would appreciate some advice

Deload and work on your fucking form, holy shit. You're going to be in a wheel chair if you don't stop fucking up your body like that
