(Not enough weight to quickly return the stack to the starting position.)
If I complete four weeks, then recalculate my 1RM, and start the Blitz over, will that hinder my progress? I'm relatively certain that the added weight would actually increase my reps.)
Right now, I'm hitting "goal," reps for three circuits, on all but one exercise, so I'll be increasing the weight by 20% as of monday on those exercises.

No need to recalculate 1 Rm. just move up the weights as planned. It is common to not move those types of machines much beyond 60 to 65 reps/min.
Sounds like your doing fine. Dave
