Doug's workouts
Looking through Doug's workouts they seem very good and add some variatey. My question is when doing his 4 day mega cutting routine. I can assume that for the first set of each excersise you are increading weight as you go through the sets. What about the 3 super sets? Is he staying with the same weight or moving up? Do you want to struggle and barely get that 12th or 15 rep?

The rest of the rep ranges are to work the muscle, use a weight that you can only just perform the given number of reps (with good technique). If you can perform more reps then go up in the weight

Sorry to hi-jack this thread, but you suggest increasing weight with each set? Is that why a lot of your routines show reps of 12,10,8,6? I have just been using the same weight for all 4 sets, and performing the desired number of reps. I figured that the decreasing rep count was due to muscle fatigue from the previous set(s).
Can anyone clarify? Thanks!

I may be wrong in saying this, but I believe there's nothing wrong with sticking with the same weight for each set, as long as your still increasing the weight on a weekly basis and your still progressing. If you can though I would increase the weight as the reps decrease.
