+1, always been absolutely killed by 3x5. And probably had the best gains from drop sets - dropping 5%~ off the second then 3rd set. Means each working set is properly intense.

This is something I didn't really catch onto before - I was stuck doing about 1.5x my bodyweight on squats, absolutely doing myself in and aggravating a dodgy knee in the process and not making much progress.
Currently trying to build it back up after a bit of a hiatus & will look into drop sets / going down to 3*5 sets as soon as progress starts to slow down

Talking of volume, I think 5*5 at high % of orm is crazy high for squat. I've tried it and it took too long/ I got too ragged in the latter sets. Much prefer 3*5.
