That's kind of the basis of the 5/3/1 program. Since you're always lifting different weight you need a way to compare each max effort set. I don't use the theoretical max as anything other than numbers for comparison sake and something to shoot for the next week.

Theoretical max = weight + weight * reps * .033

I should definitely put up a squat vid. I'll try to get one this week.
