Wendlers 531 is based off a training max, which is different (and lower) from your 1rm. You shouldnt be struggling through the vast majority of your sets and reps

As you work up that training max pushes up to your 1rm until you have to go back down. When you're near your 1rm on week 3 I find that the 2nd set of 3 reps is sometimes more difficult than the 3rd set of 1+ reps
