Espi, when I was assessing myself last year, I did singles w/ an indeterminate rest period.

Depending on how easy it was to pull, I increased by 5-20lbs at a time. Toward the end, it was 5lb increments.

I did warm up with 5/3/3, using weights I was comfortable with, but once past that, it was singles only.

By indeterminate, I mean when I felt ready to pull.

Wave loading is best used for actually training strength, but when it comes time to test, use singles.
