That's why I like the method of focusing on total reps instead of reps per set. So if you are thinking "5 sets of 5" instead think of "25 reps total at a weight that I can normally do about 5 reps". If you have to stop at 3 in later sets, it's all good. Just keep going until you hit 25. That way you don't have to artificially lower your weight to be able to get 5 reps in each time.
