Neither are optimal.

A broad pyramid like that attempts to train too many qualities at one time which means less than optimal adaptation to any of them.

Narrow your focus and ramp up to your working weight sets to prevent fatigue.

Possible example for 200 x 5
130 x 5
160 x 3
190 x 1-2
Working sets
200 x 5
