I'd just cycle off between 5 x 5 and 3 x 8-12
So maybe something like
Workout A
*Squat
*Incline Press
*Bent Row
*Straight Bar Curl
Workout B
*Front Squat
*Bench Press
*Deadlift
*Military Press
All 5 x 5. Do that for a stretch then move on to a 3 x 8-12 set up with extra stuff added in.

HUH?
You are saying you are doing the 5x5, but there are 3x10 sets. It is called the 5x5 for a reason. Look up the 5x5 program under this website, and read the articles.
