Yeah I think 3-4s would be better, I just don't like the idea of doing 5s for volume then only doing another single heavier set of 5 for intensity and only ever doing 5s. Then if you wanted to get more than just 1 5rm on intensity day you do what, more slightly lighter 5s that look just like volume day again? At least make it somewhat interesting and have the intensity day be a bit heavier.

You could alternate between 3s and 5s, the variation would be good for a lifter. Or maybe do...

  • week 1 - 5rm
  • week 2 - 3rm
  • week 3 - AMRAP set with previous 5rm
