I'm not defending it, I'm just a DYEL learning

So is the progression to keep the weight the same for the whole cycle? You'd be so fucking fried at the end for deadlifts.
>finally hit 4pl8 5x4
>have to hit it 5x8 in less than two months

Actually..
This program sucks for novice, but the first page is a pretty good periodization for advanced novice, or intermediate trainees. Its focus is clearly on aesthetics, and not on strength training, so if these are your goals, it's an OK progression. But not as a novice. And I'm still talking about the first page here.

Pages 2 and 3 are garbage. The exercise selection, ordering, and the rep schemes suck. You can burn them.
