I'm getting ready to start my fourth OLAD cycle tomorrow. Through trial and error I've settled into a specific wave parameter that worked miracles on my third cycle. I've set so many PR's in the last few months that I can't believe it. Since I have no clue what kind of percentages you guys are using on your waves, I'll just throw mine out there as a point of reference.
Week 1
Set 1 50% of scheduled max weight
Set 2 70%
Set 3 85%
Set 4 scheduled max weight
Set 5 80%
Set 6 92.5%
Set 7 max weight again (sometimes I may
go up or down 5 pounds here if the
max set was too hard or too easy)
Week 2
Set 1 50% of scheduled max weight
Set 2 70%
Set 3 85%
Set 4 scheduled max weight
Set 5 90%
Set 6 same as described for Week 1
Week 3
Successive sets of 40%/60%/80% of scheduled Set 1 weight (for 5 reps)
Then I follow my prescribed rest period
and begin with Set 1.

It's as simple as this: you pick one lift each day and do it for the entire workout. The first advantage, obviously, is the simplicity: you don’t have to bring in a computerized printout of all the exercises, seat positions, alignments, tempos and order of lifts. You do one lift for an entire workout. It sounds easy, doesn’t it? Yeah, it can be deceptive that way.
