Hey, just started this program because I like the exercise selection and I hear good things.
But it's not clear as to weather or not you should be changing weight between sets.
It only says that you should increase weight (by varying %'s depending on the exercise) when you can "do" the total number of reps (which seems to be up to you?) in all sets. Should I never change weight and just do different numbers of reps (4-6 for example) depending on how I feel?
Here is the work out

Workout A

Box Squat 3/5×4-6
Floor Press 3/5×4-6
Pendlay Row 3/5×4-6
Overhead Barbell Extension 3×6-10
Barbell/Dumbbell Preacher Curl 3×6-10
Stiff-Legged Deadlift/Good Morning 2-3×6-10
Weighted Plank 3×30-60s

Workout B

Box Squat 3/5×4-6
Paused Overhead Press 3/5×4-6
Trap-Bar Deadlift 2×4-6
Close-Grip Bench Press 3×6-8
Weighted Chin-up 3×3-5
Weighted Plank 3×30-60s

If doing 3 sets of 4-6 reps, the total reps range should be 15-18 reps. If doing 5 sets of 4-6 reps, the total reps range should be 25-28. Got that motherfucker?

pls help.
I can't be crazy for thinking that the implication that I do 3 to 5 sets of 4 to 6 reps of the identical weight sounds weird, right?
I'm happy to do it if that's what's required but I don't want to assume.

Ever heard of progressive overload? Each workout you increase the weight by either 2.5/5/10lbs. If you're bulking, do the highest amount of sets on all exercises. If you're cutting, do the lowest amount of sets on all exercises. He answers all of this shit on his website and comment section.

I read the comments and he never made my specific question clear.
Somebody asked and he responded

"For increasing weight….
666 is good
665 is good
655 is good
654 is good
Anything lower is not"

And, for clarity's sake, you are indeed confirming that you use one weight for all sets on a given day, correct?
thanks.

i know i'm being autistic but I do not recall ever seeing or reading about a program that has sets of identical weight for compounds for an entire gym session and it just goes against every thing I've seen and done.
I will delete my thread if I get a straight answer.

Dude what the fuck are you talking about? Clarify your question or just run ICF 5x5 it's similar and simpler
