Low volume/High intensity strength setup

Im trying to spend more time on the mats for grappling and less time in the gym. Essentially, Im trying to run a low volume/high intensity LP only twice a week, with only one top set in the 3-5 rep range.

Example set up:

Day 1:
Squat - 1 x 3-5
Press - 1 x 3-5
Clean/deadlift - 1 x 3 (using cleans to warmup to deadlift)

Day 2:
Squat - 1 x 3-5
Press - 1 x 3-5
clean/Deadlift - 1 x 3 (using cleans to warmup to deadlift)

Question: Is this program possible to run by continuing to add weight session to session? My main reason for reducing the volume was that i felt i was constantly tired and drained during the week from doing 3x5. So i figured id hit each lift at least twice a week, but with lower volume. If i cant make at least 3 reps, ill repeat the weight next session until i can hit 3.

Thoughts? Is this doable?

Thanks!

Might work for a while but eventually you'll need a volume stimulus.

You might get away from doing full body workouts and do upper lower with more time on each lift so you can train vol and int
