Basic Peaking Programme

[hipno]

For those of you that don’t know - this is Matt Kroc’s deadlift programme. It’s free in Tnation.
My question is this. Would you consider this a “basic peaking programme”?

For example. If I where going into a comp and I ran this for all my static lifts. And maybe even moving events (1rep max is 110% comp weight) would this work?
What’s the feeling for this? Most SM events are reps for time. But 500lb for reps is easier if you can pull 600 than 550.

I’m not sure I’ll be looking to compete again but I would like to rerun the events I’ve done before and see if I. An improve on my 2021 scores.

Week 1: 5 x 5 x 70% (5 sets of 5 reps at 70% of 1RM)
Week 2: 5 x 3 x 75%
Week 3: 5 x 1 x 80%
Week 4: No deadlifting, but feel free to do accessory movements like good mornings, weighted back raises, reverse hypers, or pull-throughs in the 10+ rep range.
Week 5: 5 x 5 x 75%
Week 6: 5 x 3 x 80%
Week 7: 5 x 1 x 85%
Week 8: No deadlifting, but do accessory movements.
Week 9: 4 x 5 x 80%
Week 10: 4 x 3 x 85%
Week 11: 4 x 1 x 90%
Week 12: No deadlifting, but feel free to do accessory movements.
Week 13: 3 x 5 x 85%
Week 14: 3 x 3 x 90%
Week 15: 3 x 1 x 95%
Week 16: No deadlifting and no lower back work at all.
Week 17: Retest your max or compete in a powerlifting meet
