Hi VQ,
Good consistent lifting. Always a good thing.
)
Couple of Q's: How come only 2 x 5? You've been doing 2 x 10 during 10s. 2 x 5 for your first week of 5s is a big drop in total work done. Were you completely shot after your 10RM workout? If not, I'd recommend you do 3 x 5.
Eg. As a rough estimate of work done, I'll say it's proportional to the total load lifted. (I've ignored some of the lighter lifts.)
So for 10s you did:
Back Squat - 2x10x205
Lunge - 1x10x115
Lying Leg Curl - 1x10x140
Standing Calf Raise - 3x10x140
Incline Bench - 2x10x175
Chest Dip - 1x10x35
Pendlay Row - 2x10x170
Pullup - 1x10x20
Military Press - 1x10x105
Face Pull - 2x10x80
Load lifted during 10s:
4100
1150
1400
4200
3500
(bw?+35 x 10) ==> 2200
3400
(bw?+20 x 10) ==> 2050
1050
1600
24,650 Total
Then for 5s you did:
Back Squat - 2x5x185
Lunge - 1x5x130
Lying Leg Curl - 1x5x145
Standing Calf Raise - 3x5x185
Incline Bench - 2x5x180
Chest Dip - 1x5x35
Pendlay Row - 2x5x180
Pullup - 1x5x20
Military Press - 1x5x100
Face Pull - 2x5x75
Load lifted during 5s:
1850
650
725
2775
1800
(bw?+35 x 5) ==> 1100
1800
(bw?+20 x 5) ==> 1025
500
750
12,975 Total
If I guess your bw is 185lb, then that gives totals of
24,650 for 10s and
12,975 for 5s. That's about a 50% reduction in overall load lifted and hence ~50% reduction in work done. Generally speaking, it's a good idea to keep work increasing over a cycle if possible. This is where the whole volume/load debate comes in. At least try not to let it drop off much. A 50% reduction in total load might be ok for the workout following a RM workout but I think you may well be disappointed with your progress if for the entire duration of 5s you are lifting not much more than 50% of the total load that you lifted during 10s.
If you can't manage any more heavy sets, it's totally ok to do a metabolic set with around 75% of the load you've been using for your sets of 5. If you do ~10 reps with that, you will increase your total load lifted by a considerable amount.
