I am not recovering well from the 3x weekly squat. Many factors, partly age (44), partly various naggin injuries which seem to worsen if I squat this often, partly I do some running (about 6-8 miles total per week) on recovery days, etc. It really seems like too much. I think if I did every other workout I could progress just about as fast.
I also I feel I can move my DL faster than the program is asking me.
Plus, doing squat and DL together I can tell I’m giving the second exercise less than 100% because I’m pretfatigued.
So I propose basically alternating squat and DL every other workout. What do you think?

Modify Starting strength - more DL, less squat

At your age, and I'm only 2 years older than you, I think its fine to just squat one day a week and DL another day a week.
