Thanks for this response Eric, and for the PM you sent me.

Well, I understand that the optimal think right now will be continue progressing on "intensity" days, and start the "volume" days from 85% (of my RM5 max), then build it (every week) like this:

1. week 1 - 85%
2. week 2 - 92%
3. week 3 - 100%
and progress from here...

But... We know that lifting is both physiological as it is psychological... if I add my bench 5 kg, and my squat 7.5 kg, it'll just be good for my spirit, you know? I havn't seen a progress for a long time, and even though I know I should be smart and avoid my feelings and my desire for PR's 'at all costs', I just need these small PR's, like a 'breath of air' to stay in the game for a couple of months from now, you know? Hope you understand what I'm talking about, and don't think I'm such a stupid athelete, huh

Btw, I'm not excepting Rippetoe to give me 'cockie cutters', but surprisingly he doesn't say anything about gradually building the weights on volume days... He just said that when his 'novice routine' stops working, you should start something similar to this 'texas method'...

P.S - so when I'll get stuck, I won't try speed sets / 8X3 instead of 5x5, adding / take out sets, I'll just deload and steadily increase the volume like Eric says.
