So I am approaching weight where the reps are much harder now

I hit the same point a couple weeks ago while doing SS where I had to rest 10 minutes between squat sets. Since my upper body lifts were stalling I decided to switch to 5/3/1. At the moment for me this means more volume than I was doing under SS but shorter rest periods because aside from the last set of any given workout the weight hasn't gotten back up to the amount of weight I was lifting for 3x5.

In other words you need to build work capacity and adding a bit of volume will do that for you so long as you're doing said volume in the 70-90% of your 1RM (ie: squatting 50 reps of 1 plate won't make 3 plates go up much easier)

Unless you are 95% or more of your 1rpm why in the world would you rest more than 2 minutes?

doing sets of 5 with 85% of your 1RM will exhaust you

Seriously how can you get that exhausted at 85%? If thats true you need to get your numbers reevaluated.

because 5 reps at 85% is hard...

whats your 1rm for squats, for example

Not the guy you're replying to but my 5RM tends to be about 85%-90% of my 1RM and if I do a set of 5 of my 5RM than I need to rest for more than a few minutes. No doubt I can stand to build more work capacity but it isn't that absurd to be able to get the weight up with good form and need to rest 5-10 minutes between sets.

You need to work on condition, at that point might as well just rest a week

Yeah maybe if you're hitting it for one. But hitting RPE 9-10 on any lift regardless of percentage is gonna require more than 2 minutes of rest if you want to get the most out of your next set.
