Also, what do you mean by "try to maintain."
(HINT: The nature of how Loading sets exercises are rotated in and out, deepening on progression, will answer a good bit of the above. )

Thanks for the reply. I am still trying to beat the book, just asking because I did horrible on incline DB loading sets this week. I went down in weight and reps. Altamir mentioned it sounded like I was carb depleted and went hypo so it could of been a fluke... I will give it a go again, and will rotate out if need be.
For "try to maintain" I just mean try to hit the same weight / reps.
I'm just thinking (or overthinking) that being in a calorie deficit and losing weight / body fat my numbers might suffer as far as weight / reps. Maybe I have the wrong mind set and should not even worry about it.
