Interesting how you don't try and beat each set by 5lbs or a rep....Maybe thats my problem, for example if I did 220x5, 240x5, 250x5 etc...I'd immidiately the next week try and do 225x5 245x5, 255x5, etc....So what you would reccomend is #1 not doing a single every week and number 2, if I finish last week with 260x5, then beat that by 5lbs,,,correct?

Wilkes-Barre....it is Mid-Atlantic Conference country. I went to King's ....they're decent as hell this year, they lost in Week 1 to St John Fisher, but rolled off 5 straight. Wilkes U is our cross-town rival....They're 6-0, ranked 12, they knocked off Del Val and Widener, we play last game of the season. If Wilkes can get through Rowan in the playoffs, they may have a Stagg Bowl date with Mount Union.....I don't think anybody in D 3....or D 2 for what it's worth can roll with Mount this year.

It looks like Wed. you spent a decent amount of time on weights that are maybe in the 80-85% range? When your maxes are 380, you've got a lot of room to move down and still apply a lot of tonnage (e.g., 5x5x315). I'm wondering if part of my problem is that I'm always working around the 90-95% range, trying to muscle out best sets of 5 all the time. Have you done that, and noticed any difference? Do you make strength or size gains when you spend time w/ 'lighter' weights? Or is this just temporary while you ramp up?

I always like to include some type of high volume work, since my squats and pulls are low volume, I decided to use fronts to hammer volume. I make a lot of size gains with lighter % of max, like 80-85% and high volume. I get stronger too, the 5x5 has very direct carryover to 1 top set of 3-5 I noticed.
Working around the 90-95%-range all the time will be detrimental when it is inappropriate. I feel it's inappropriate for trainees (like myself) that can't just add weight to the bar every week for months on end and simply make linear progress....if hammering with such a % of max is blowing you out, you may very well be at that point.....when pushing 1x5, the top sets will feel like a fight, the 5x5 shouldn't be like this, all 5 sets should be pretty fast and snappy (not pathetically easy and not speed work) but you should feel 'good' afterwards and if you had to, another 1-2 sets should be do-able.
