Those are awesome in the 5 RM, especially when you beat your previous PR. I'll stick to those for 2 weeks (5 RM, 1 RM), then change.

One more important thing to note. I suggest you make a spreadsheet or keep a very detailed log book. Always keep a very precise record of everything you do whether it's a 5 RM or 1 RM. This ensures you know what you previously did 'x' amount of weeks ago so you can beat it. Occasionally, you could try and beat your old 5 RM's as well. Progression can only be attained from an accurate log book. Hypothetically, it could be upwards of 6 weeks in between some lifts, and it would be difficult to remember.
