Poundage:

Example A:

275 for 5 sets of 5 reps = 6,875 working output.

Example B:

225 for 3 sets of 10 reps = 6,750 working output.

What does this tell you? Basically, it's about the power output. Actually, the 5 x 5 is spotting the 3 x 10 an extra 5 reps to achieve the same output.

Matter of fact, I've spoken with a lot of people who've done HST (hypertrophy-specific training), and the vast majority (almost all of them) have stated that their best growth, or growth in general, has come from the 5 rep meso's rather than the 10-15's. Not coincidence if you ask me.
