If you reach the end of 5's a bit stronger than expected for some exercises. Is it prefferable to :

Stay with that weight for next 2 weeks / go to negatives where applicable ?

or

Build up to new 5 RM during the beginning of last 2 weeks before going to negatives ?

I guess it depends on when you know you are stronger,

if before starting the 5's just replan the 5's with new increments.

If during the 5's then I would up the increment on the next workout.

Since the RM changes, I personally think the last work out is a good time to test your maxes for each RM, so you know where stand before your next cycle.
 
i'm going to have to redo all my maxes they are changing for me to.

i think it's best to underestimate ur max (within reason) then to overshoot it.
