In my experience, this is doable as long as you stick to these rules: 1. Leave one rep in the tank for every set you do. 5 reps means 5 picture-perfect repetitions. As soon as form starts to break down, you are doing it wrong. 2. Start light. 3. Eat like a horse. At least 10% above you maintenance levels in training days. 4. Deload every 4 weeks. Note that I am 40+ years old. I have been squatting twice per week more than 3 years now.
