Hmm...

say i enter 385lbs as my max.

itll take me 6 weeks to hit 405lbs with this.. 20lb gain in 6 weeks? Just over 3lbs a week?

Another thing: I don't like the progression on the final day for the maxing out. 90%x1, 95%x1, 100%x1, 102%x1, 105%x1..
Well, at least for me those final 4 sets wouldn't work too well because I would be a bit burn out:
345x1
365x1
393x1
405x1

I think there's too much space between the 365x1 and 393x1, and also not enough space between the 393 and 405. I would just skip the 102% altogether and lower the 345x1 to 335x1.

From this I'm inferring that 385lbs would be too low of a max to really get a lot out of this peaking phase. Maybe 440lbs and up would be better to try this out?
