I know I should have been doing 245, heh. I was just exaggerating the point when he said "doing a lower weight for all five sets". What do you mean "it's the opposite" - doing 5x5 of 120 for a guy who maxes at 280 wouldn't do anything... (or would it?! 0311 once again reshapes my knowledge of lifting!)
So, you're saying ramping up ISN'T as good as staying at a static weight? I've always done static myself but the DFHT 5x5 thread seems to indicate that ramping up is the way to go. Maybe I misread?
Ah, well. I've got a lots to learn.
