Do you guys think that lifting heavy (near ones max) on the bench squat and deadlift will inevitably cause injuries in the long term? I'm thinking back problems from the squat and deadlift and shoulders from the Bench.

YES.........I've lifted heavy on everything most of my life now I have to warm up just to get out of bed, but once I'm up I'm fine!

I had a pretty bad lower lat strain, probably from sumo DLs, but I thought it might have been a disc injury as it was low on my back. Well, it should go without saying that having a hurt back really sucks. It hurts to do anything strenuous. It made me rethink my my priorities. I was trying to work my way up to a 3x bw squat and dl, but now I don't think it's worth a life time of back pain. So I switched it up and now I try to minimize lower back loading. I do single leg squats (pistols) for high reps, glute ham raises, and a bunch of single leg extensions for lower body development instead of maximal squats and DLs. I'm actually seeing better hypertrophy, and I don't get the same kind of crippling soreness either. For upper body I switched away from heavy weighted dips pullups and presses and now I do almost exclusively bw exercises: planches, levers, freestanding hand stand pushups. Hopefully I can minimize my risk of injury by avoiding carrying so much weight.
