That 1+ could be ten reps. You will get yor max effort in, it is designed to do that.
Plus Wendler et al believe that reps 75% add to top line number gains.
Trust in 5/3/1 and the Boring But Big protocol. Worked well for me. And a million others.
Welcome to the part of the journey that makes you rethink the trope that bodybuilding is dumb. I started with oly and power lifting. Said BB was dumb.
Now I do my curls too baby.
On cut right now I do this:
A day
Pull-ups: max effort set x 7. Usually starts at 11 pull ups and ends up at 3-5 in the last set.
Dips: same
Over head press 5x5
Curls and lateral raises.
B day
Same except bench instead of ohp.
One of each day per week
I get the best reaction ever from my body now. Keeping size and strength and cutting up from the cut.
