Make sure you are doing AS HEAVY AS YOU CAN with each exercise. Before this, I lifted heavy, and did many more sets/reps, and when I looked at the workouts I thought "that's gonna be too easy, maybe I should skip stage 1." But, I figured out pretty quickly that I hadn't been lifting anywhere near as heavy as I was capable of.

The other thing is be sure you are only resting 60 seconds between sets - that makes a big difference to me and my level of exhaustion when I'm done.

Hope that helps
