Default OK to do extra 1 rep sets in Strength 1?

I've been doing NROL for about 2 months now. I've finished Hypertrophy 1 and now I'm halfway through Strength 1.

I'm finding that after completing the 6-1-6-1 wave loading I still have enough energy to do another set or two of the last 1 (after the appropriate rest period).

Thus, it looks more like 6-1-6-1-1-1.

So I am wondering if this will interfere with the intended neural training benefits?
Alternatively, does this mean I'm not using a high enough weight? That is, should I be using weight loads so that after doing 6-1-6-1 I really couldn't complete another set of 1?

I have to confess I do the same now and then. My only rule for myself is that the last lift should have that little thing extra: two small plates, a bit more explosiveness, or whatever..

If it is good or not, I don't know.

I did the same a few times during Str-I. The temptation is just too strong. Not every workout though.

OK, I think I will continue to do an extra set or two if I feel I can.
