Yup. You would probably be fine doing 2 sets of 10 and saving the Myo-reps for the 5s, too - or for later phases when you are more advanced and resilient to volume and loading.

A decreased load after the tissue is sensitized to SD (and even without SD IME and IMO) will do you a world of good, and improve results long-term.
