At first glance this appears like you're attempting some sort of advanced strength programming. But imo its nothing more than saying you're going to increase your intensity each week.
Rather than thinking in terms of failure, no failure, or setting a PR. Why not try a straight linear progression (adding weight every week). Don't use the workout you have listed though. Having cable crossovers as your second exercise of day 1 should be a tipoff that its not ideal
I'm curios why you picked 2x10 for everything? And what does max-out mean? Is it 1 rep maxes, 3 rep maxes...?
