If your lower body is relatively stronger, use lighter weights/bit higher reps/fewer sets and work on the upper body first.

I have the same problem, I stopped training my quads (HERESY!!!!) and train upper body hard one day, with just hamstring and light quad work.

You need to stimulate the weak bit first and not use energy for the strong part if you want to bring up a weakness.

5x5 puts a lot of emphasis on squats then only 4 other movements.

BP, OHP, Rows and Deadlift.

The system, as TGR says, knows that you will fail at some point and works the failure in. I have confidence in it and will just keep plugging away.

It will make you stronger for sure, but it's not designed to bring up relative weaknesses.

If you are happy with results that's what matters. For me a general approach stopped working after a while that's all :)
