I’m running 5/3/1 currently for bench and I think I’m about to start my 4th cycle. Each time I start a new cycle, I’m adding 5lbs to my theoretical 1rm and basing the cycle off of that number. At the end of the cycle , I’m starting to hit that 95% for like 6 reps or so. Should I raise my 1rm that I’m basing my lifts off of? I want to get the most out of each cycle and I wonder if not going heavier is a bad idea?
