Absolutely it will. After some warm-up sets of 10 or so, with <50% of your estimated 1RM, start doing triples up to around 75% or so, then do singles from there.
lets say your goal is to hit 315 for 1. I would do 135 for 2x10, 185x10, 225x5, 255x1, 285x1, the go for the 315. If you miss the 315, but hit 285, aim for somewhere in between, maybe 305, and if you hit that do a few more singles with that weight.
Just my $.02 on how I would approach it. I'm sure some others on here have some good ideas too.
