i've read that for the next two weeks i could do negatives (which i cant do since i workout alone), continue with my 5RM, or keep progressing the weight til i find my new 5RM... i like the last option since it will help me find my new RMs for the next cycle, and it also borrows the principles of "STARTING STRENGTH" routine where you stick to 4-6 reps and just increase the weight EACH WORKOUT... what do you guys think??

Interesting change in perspective . . . FYI sometimes when a question is buried in a bunch of other text it gets missed.

I would progress to find new 5 RMs. You then have the option of continuing with that weight and trying to push your 5 RM higher as you add more reps with that weight or adding weight and progressing to a 3 RM and even on some exercises a 1 RM.
