Your overall volume seems pretty low so I would say you could definitely do 5x5 @ FSL. You could even possibly do 3-5 x 5 @ SSL. But since you would like to keep it light, FSL would be fine. You could even possibly use percentages from the Simplest Strength Template.

Thanks bidbadbombs. I forgot to mention the reason the volume is low is that I am 60 and recovery is not what is use to be.
