i hear where your coming from joe but this is not a principle of the 5x5.

i would think over time ,lifting like that 5x5 of your max reps,would take its toll on your ligaments,joints, and tendons. and if your getting 5 reps for 5 sets of your max ,is your 5 rep max really being acclomplished? also, bill star says that this could lead to overtraining.

i would like other opions on this so please chime in! this is only an opion and would like different ones.
