War of Attrition

yesterday I benched 102.5 x 5  - smashed it, 100 x 5 all paused - smashed it, 95 x 5 all paused and needless to say - smashed it.

Today wasn't as easy. Squatted 175 x 2 x 5 and 165 x 5. Just hard. See how I feel over the next 2 weeks. I've been running 5s for a couple of months now and they may be getting a bit stale. Got 4 options:

1. Drop down to about 160 and start building back up with 30 rep sessions.
2. Start using ladders to accumulate volume.
3. Keep progressing weight and drop volume; utilise heavy doubles and triples
4. Keep doing what I've been doing.

Looking at my options I think number 2, 3 or a combination of both seems most likely.
