Go heavy, but recognize that heavy doesn't mean you need to grind. I hit at least 90% of my max 5 days per week on the various squats. No issues for recovery. A session can be an all out 5x5 or, as simple as 5 singles up to decent weight. A quick 15 minute squat session works well with a MetCon. Recover and unload by dropping volume. Leave the weight on the bar. Don't practice meaningless reps with light barbells. You are probably fit and rather strong. But most likely not at your peak. Try and push further and harder as an athlete. I think you likely have more in the tank. Fatigue is relative.

Squat Heavy, Squat Often
Every day, I see people pushing their conditioning to the max. It’s just that I don’t think they look at a heavy barbell lifting the same way. Many people don’t know strength.
