Why did you assume that in one of the scenarios there would be progressive overload and not progressive overload in the other ?
You can add weight to the 1 rep a minute system just like you can to the more conventional system
Except fatigue sets in faster with shorter periods of rest. Volume and intensity are interdependent. The more the intensity goes up, the lower the volume has to be.
Different numbers of reps with different amounts of weight drive different results. Using low resting periods with a lower RPE would probably yield better conditioning, but if the goal is to get stronger you need to introduce more weight. Higher intensity requires more rest/lower volume or you’ll fatigue quickly.
