Mark Rippetoe recommends a "reset" when someone starts to stall. Drop the weight down 10% and do the same # of working sets (after warming up). Add 5 pounds the next week. Add 5 pounds the next week, etc. I’ve done it before and it helped me stop stalling on a 5x5. If this does not get you past your sticking point, after working your way back up, then you may want to change the rep. scheme. Best of luck.
