There are much more advanced systems than this.

Using this routine where are you exerting maximal effort? And where are you getting faster?

The 2 key components for lifting a max weight for 1 rep:

One is being able to push with a maximal effort for a certain amount of time.

And two is training your body to lift any and all weights faster.
