Oop! Just found this:
"Adding weight. After completing each mesocycle, add 5 pounds to your 1RM total for bench press and overhead press, and 10 pounds to your squat and deadlift 1RM, and recalculate your percentages. If you run Wendler's 5/3/1 for a year, this progression pattern will add 50 pounds to your bench and press, and 100 pounds to your squat and deadlift. Be patient, and stick with the plan!"
You win the chicken dinner mab! Thanks.
Now, just as an aisde, since I started 10% down, adding 10 pounds a cycle won't get me to my actual max until the third cycle. That seems like a long time to wait to hit some PRs? Well, I guess I will hit rep PRs fairly soon so that's something. But it was so exciting to hit singles PRs, this seems like punching a clock.
Man, I'm gonna learn some patience, I guess!
