You may as well be doing a ramped sets of 5 or something.

Personally, I've found using a single rep at higher than working weight to be more beneficial. But that's *my* experience. The 5,3,1 sequencing is the best I've used, sometimes my single rep will be below working weight, sometimes higher, depending on how I feel that day.
I was PM'ing with him last night and threw out that kind of warmup as something for him to try and see what he liked as opposed to the minimal warmups he said he's been doing.
Good ol' trial and error ;)
