If you're going for a more volume oriented approach ala strong lifts, you could stick a lower % of your 1RM and once you feel RPE creeping to about an 8 or 8.5, take smaller jumps.
Also, how much rest between sets? I was up to 7-8 mins between at the end of LP. (It's a long time, but this is what books are for) lol
Honestly, if you're still in novice progression, I wouldn't think 5x5 would be necessary to get stronger. Save that volume for weekly progression or endgame linear progression. But you know what they say about opinions and assholes... ��
I'm not an SSC and i hope my big nose in your business is not offensive... Just hoping to help.
