Squatting plan

How does this squatting plan sound.  3x per week consisting of:

hi volume day: 3 sets of 10

mid volume day: 3 sets of 5

and low volume heavy day: 3 sets of 3

or should I just stick with 3 sets of 5 and adding 5 lb each session?
33yrs | 24in SVJ | >45% BF | 227LB | 5'9 | 7'5 reach | 400lb max squat paused | 5'8 wingspan | 26in RVJ

Coming back from 2 years of inactivity!

Goal: Maintain 385-405lb squat while cutting down to 165 LB

If you are looking at a layout like that try the texas method

Mon 5x5@90% of previous friday workout
Wed 2x5 using 80% of what you lifted monday
Fri work up to a new 5rm (so 1x5) and use the new 5rm to set the weights for the next week

Interesting.  However, I do get kind of skeptical with anything that has the word "texas" in it.  I may just try this.

What about this plan right here
: Texas method week 1.  Standard method (3 sets of 5 ) week 2.  And power method week 3 (3 sets of 3) ?

Putting on lots of weight lately.  Not sure if this is too detrimental to my end goal of hitting 42in vertical in order to dunk at 7'4 reach.

AlexV was wrong. The name is "Kansas Method". You can now safely do the routine.

Warm up drills
   - a walk, b skip quick powerful switch (heel to hams focus), a runs, dribbles small to big to run, straight leg to runs (force, reflex, go up/forward). force to hit the ground before it hits the ground knee/hip is at 90 degrees.
   - acceleration: low heel recovery, shin angle low, drive legs back before hitting the ground and drive thighs/knee forward not up

Measuring reminder:
5 toe to heel steps = 148cm
