Anyone doing relatively high reps around the 10 range?
I've been doing 5x5 for a while, but injury in squat and deadlift is holding me back. I'm trying 10x3 now with 90 second rests.
You can try 5/3/1 with Boring But Big.
i.e working up to one major 5/3/1 set (a 5+, 3+ or 1+)
then dropping own to do 5x10 at a lighter weight (start at about 50% of your max).
I used that very successfully to return from a hip injury that affected my squat and deadlift. Gave me just enough heavy lifting to maintain some strength, with plenty of volume for practicing the groove. Ended up hitting lifetime PBs for reps in both lifts as well.
I only did this for squat (low bar) and bench btw. With deadlifts, I only did the 5/3/1 set, and did not do 5x10. I added an extra squat session instead with high bar.
