Default Strength 1 pull-ups

i am 2 weeks into S1. regarding the 1 rep for pull-ups...
seems like a 1 rep set (following the 6 rep set/s) is kinda worthless. is the intent here to hang weights from a belt so that you are really doing a 1 rep max pull-up or just do a single with no weight. doesnt make sense to me. any suggestions appreciated.

You will need to add enough weight to your belt to make it heavy enough for a single rep. It's not a true 1RM because it's buried in a long workout, but it's close. Back the weight off for the set of 6. Make the next single heavier still.
