Default Strength 1 program too much?

I have a question about the NROL Strength I program.
It incorporates wave loading, so you're hitting a 1RM for 2 sets. There is 4 workouts a week(it's an upper/lower split). So one day, you're hitting a 1RM with squats, and the other lower day you're doing a 1RM for deadlifts.
Is doing really heavy/intense wave loading twice a week detrimental? Is it too taxing on the CNS? I just don't want to overtrain, but I do enjoy doing the 4 workouts per week.
If it would be too much to be doing 2 wave loading days like that, should I just do 1 and then switch to a more hypertrophy based workout for the other day?
Has anyone else done this program and had success and felt okay? Just want some input!

ETA: Sorry! Wrong forum!

I'm doing Strength I now. I don't think the sets of 1 rep are supposed to be 1RM. They're just supposed to be enough heavier that the set of 6 reps feels easier when you go back to it. I finished two weeks and I feel great. I work out twice a week.
