I dont' know where you got the 100 to 105 in 50 days being .5 every 10 days. .5 every 10 days is a 2.5lb increase at 50days. And that's a ridiculous way of looking at things. The whole point is that you know what day 1 is but you DON'T know what day 50 will be, you can hardly tell what day 3 will be like. You can't pull numbers out of the sky and say this is how it has to be or you will overtrain.

These are the parts where I see your theory coming apart. Your 1RM is not static day to day or even hour to hour and therefore 95% of your 1RM is not static either. So you can't just assume your 1RM is increasing at some linear rate. You're basing your "95%" thing on guesses.
I do agree with Talo though. I find the disussion kind of interesting and he's not hurting anyone really so leave him be. I think, however, that maybe you should state more clearly that this is an experiment based on your own research/theories somewhere. Just for the fact that if a newbie does find his way in here he should know its not a *proven* method.
Also, get your diet & sleep consistent and then you might have something a little more solidly controlled.
