Not necessarily, just set the safety bars lower. I use that same kind of set up to squat too. So, I'm never too keen to test out my squat max, which is why I haven't in over a year. When I get into the school weight room over the summer/next year, I'll be more comfortable pushing the weights, but for now 3RM and 5RM only.
