The best way to avoid injury whilst getting stronger.
I have seen a lot of sacrifice in form for trying to move big weights. This will only ever lead to overload which will then likely lead to injury. Time on the side lines is time away from training and progression.
My best advice is to progress safely. If form is not being lost, then it’s ok to increase the weight in order to overload and adapt from the training. Ego can play a big part in this. Avoid what others are doing. Concentrate on your own lifts and progress will be made. Have the strength in mind to stay at what you are lifting if this is just below your form threshold.
Below is a video of my back squat PB a few months back. Even though this is the heaviest I have ever lifted, there are minute deviations in the position of my back etc.
GET STRONG IN GOOD POSITIONS!
