From all that I have read and the people I have trained, I don't think 45 lbs is completely out of the picture. I would say you have a better than 85% chance of making that pull. It is at the top end of what I would expect you could get in 10 weeks.
One thing that I am going to change about the program when I use it in the future is to repeat the last week of the deload. I don't think there is enough time given to it.
A final consideration would be that you should know that you need to essentially "put your squat on a shelf" while you do this program. None of the people I worked with were able to make any significant gains in their squat while doing this. There was some carry over, but at most 10 lbs.
One thing that is for certain, is that you will have a back made of iron when you are done. The accessory work is brutal. Make sure you make it brutal too. One of the things I made them do was to take the lat pull down much deeper - past the bottom of their sternum, just to the point where you would naturally turn it into a pushdown.
