If you could post up your whole current routine we can look at more than just one leg session and maybe give you a bit more advice.
I'm looking to increase my 5RM and Power.
The area where i'm having trouble is the Squat.
Would I see better results by doing A or B?
A
3x warm up sets: 1x10@ 50%, 1x8@ 60%, 1x6@ 70-75%
Working weight: 5x5@ 85-90%
or
B
Warm up sets: 1x10@ 50%, 1x8@ 60%
Ramping: 1x6@ 70%, 1x6@ 80%, 1x6@ 90%, 1x6@ 70%
Adding 2.5Kg on the next workout after max reps for each set is reached.
This workout would be performed once a week (along with assistance exercises), my other leg workout having other exercises. I also do a seperate workout for deadlifts, with at least 48hrs between legs/deadlift workout.
Aims (Current): Squat 195kg (122.5kg x6), Deadlift 245Kg (200kg x4), Sub 6:30 2k - Indoor Row (not done)
5' 11'', 74Kg

I also do a Hard row after weights on Mon, Wed and Sat, with recovery rows (UT2) on Thurs and Sun, with a moderate 30min run on Tues.
I know the cardio is detrimental to strength gains, and will slow down progress, but they are necessary for indoor rowing.
Hope that helps
