Exactly. Hypertrophy is all about loading. The loading is greater when you do 5x5 then when you work up to a max set of 5. Besides, if you're that concerned about weight, it shouldn't be too much less than a lot of you can do a max set of 5 with anyway, considering most of you guys should have a lot more anaerobic endurance strength than limit strength.
