Texas Method question

[tbone89]

I started texas method this week and my last workout is tomorrow and according to rippetoes article I should work up to a new 5 rep max on my squat and bench. My question is should I work up to and try a new pr or should I just add five pounds to what I did for my sets on Sunday and work up to a 1 set of five with that. For example

Option #1
I did 205 for 5x5 on my squat on sunday I would then do 210 for 1x5 tomorrow.

Option #2
My 5 rep max on squat is 235 I would then work up and try for a new pr set of 5 with 240.

P.S. I am getting practical programming for christmas.

Option #2
The 5x5 and 1x5 days move up somewhat independently of eachother. You'll want to hit that 210 on your next 5x5 day. You go for the PR on your 1x5.

I found PP to be a bit of a tougher read than SS, have fun.
