For the exercises B and C, are the weights per set the same or do you increase it every set? I wanna try this program and I’m hoping it’ll be good for me. Thanks for anyone who replies.
Ask Chris, you can do it at the end of the article

Check the comment section, I answered a kinda-similar question about reps from uv_deth.
Basically, when I say 4-6 reps, I suggest autoregulating the weight so that each set is within that range. Do your first set, if you get 6 reps and feel like you could do some more, add weight for the next set. If/when you get to a point where 4 reps is a super-tough grind, either stay at that weight or reduce it slightly.
With the mechanical advantage work (those the B and C exercises), like I said in the article, you should be able to do the first set of the C exercise with whatever weight you used on the last set of the B exercise. If you can’t, then you almost-certainly screwed up either in exercise choice, technique, or weight selection.
For example, workout 1 might end up looking like:
B) Front squat 115x6, 135x6, 155x5, 155x4
C) Back squat 155x6, 185x6, 225x4, 225x4
