Wendler Program Question

Alright fellas, been at this program for ~4 months, and I'm a huge fan!
I missed my first set today, however, and I'm wondering how I adjust going forward. I know in 5x5 if you miss you drop down 10% and then restart. I can't seem to find anything in Wendler about missing a set. I only hit 4 reps on my final set of 3x5.
What would yal do? TIA!

I wouldnt even worry about it.
Sometimes a rep is lost for a simple reason, like you didnt sleep or eat as well.
just keep going. If it happens more frequently, then you have gone too high and drop down again until your muscles adapt.

Exactly what I was leaning towards, and yea I slept like shite last night.

It's possible you started too heavy. Which lift was it on? I just ended my 4th cycle today and I'm nowhere close to missing. I'm still getting g 10 reps on the last set of my 5+ days...8 reps on 3+ days and 5 to 6 reps on 1+ days...
Could I go a bit heavier? Yes but my goal is to be asure strong as possible 12 months later...not 4 months later...you may be throwing up way more weight then me but I would consider resetting g that particular lift
