Been on sslp for two months now, and I am progressing ok I think, but I just started subbing chins for deadlift every other session. I get pretty gassed after squats, press and deadlift in one session, and I was going to try incorporating a light day for squats on Tuesday. I lift tues, thurs, sun. do you think I should drop to around 80% of sundays squat weight and if so, at what volume? or should I keep the weight and drop volume? recommendations would be appreciated. thank you for your time.

In your situation if you need the light day I'd keep the volume and drop weight, but only about 10%.
