Working up to heavy single

Training Q&A [Moderated]
1

I’m currently running the BBM S&C template and the pivot week (week 6) starts me doing 1 rep at RPE 8 before lightening the weight for additional volume. Are there any suggestions or a basic formula for working up to this? Do I keep adding weight and doing 1 rep until I gauge RPE 8? Or do I start the warm up with more volume and decrease as I get closer to the heavy single?
