I never did 5x5, but I know it does a good job training both your upper and lower body equally. You probably won't end up looking like a "fridge" unless you squat 3x a week, and bench 1x a week or something, and that's now how the 5x5 works.
as far as reps:sets, read what wiki says. I don't worry about it too much I always stick to around 8 reps or whatever. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscular_hypertrophy
according to that low reps with a huge weight will make you get stronger, but maybe not quickly as big as high reps and a lower weight, which will get you bigger but not as strong. Lower weight does not mean 5lb curlz though.
