Aren't you supposed to do what ever you found out your 5 rm to be you do that for 5 sets, Not just random weight with 5 reps.

You'd never be able to do your 5RM for 5x5....

You're supposed to start lower than your 5RM and progress over a number of weeks....hopefully being able to do a weight close to, or over, your 5RM for 5x5 as you near the end of the program. IF I remember correctly.
