The logic (as far as I understand it) is that the ME days (ie 5RM bench and floor press) are treated like a PL day. So basically you want to smash some heavy weights and bring up your strength as much as possible. To me, doing a new 5RM every week is alot harder than doing a 5x5 every week. Not to say that you're wrong in any way Eric, that's just how I see it based on my experience with the program. Whether 0311 meant it like that is another thing

Here are the links to what I was referring to on backing off to a 5x5 or 3x5:
