The 1 weeks you should typically do more than 1 rep, and if you do 1 rep or can't manage you deload until you attempt the weight again, hopefully successfully. Does he have a different routine/ideology now?

Yep:

He's got AMRAPs and "Joker" sets now. Both optional. Jokers are a 1RM after your Wendler 1RM if you're up for it.
