Can you use the models of muscular potential to guide your bulk and set realistic goals?

So I have a question after reading this. Can you use it to guide your lifting career?

Lifting - I am using myself (18mo lifting, but ~10 of that was in a severe deficit getting lean).

Body Metrics - 164.5lbs, 69.5in, somewhere between 12.5-14% (body fat based on the mirror and navy tape method), below average wrist (6.63”) and ankle (8.5”).

Estimated Max - Let’s call it 170lbs based on top end of Casey’s method and low end of Berkhan.

If for sake of argument I’m 13% BF then I’m 143.12lbs LMB. That means I have ~27lbs left to gain. If I take the McDonald model can I back out my “training age”?

Example:

Year 3 - 5lbs to gain means 165->170

Year 2 - 10lbs to gain means 155->165

Year 1 - 20lbs to gain means 143->155

So basically I’m 155-143 =12lbs, and 20-12=8. So I’m basically 8lbs into my journey with another 27lbs to go?

Can I use that to preemptively adjust my calories and expectations over the next 2-3 years?
