3sets of 5 is more for strength. It will still make you more defined, aka, muscle growth, but won't be as effective than training for hypertrophy - which I think boosted wants.

You have the right Idea Boosted, maybe cut down to 3 sets of 8-10 reps working set, that is roughly 70 and a bit up, of your 1 rm. Don't be afraid to cut the weight down a bit. Example, I bent over row 1 rm 185ish? - I make my working sets of 3 sets of 8 reps at 135. I work the overhand first (being weaker), then underhand. I won't lie to myself for the sake of finishing the exercise, if it's easy, I will increase next workout.

and Don't rest for too long, keep in consistent.

What exercises do you do btw? might give us more insight.
