Do 3x5 instead of 5x5. The extra volume of 2 sets aren't worth sacfricing strength gains. You could also do 5x3.

Download the 5x5 app, it tells you what to do when you hit a plateau, how to warm up, and helps you follow yoir progress.
And read all the programm, everything is explained to pass a plateau.

I get better strength gains at a higher volume, explain this.

i'm not a pro or anything, but what i usualy do when i cant go trough a plateau:

1) take a good meal with lot of carbs and proteins a few houres before

2) same than 1 but also take caffein pills about 30 minutes before starting exercices.
176mg of caffein do wonders for me.

3)or just keep the same weight and add reps at the end.

but imo, the caffein pills work great, listening to a music that get me fucking angry works well to.

i'm 6'3 for 82 kg atm.
i squat 110 and bench 64x10

its not incredible but its far from what i could do when i started.
so yeah, take some caffein if you're receptive to it, try to make yourself angry (think about sopmeone that you hate extremely for example) and lift.

good luck bud
