It sounds like you're confusing sets with workouts. The first four times you do A, and the first four times you do B, you'll be doing 2 sets of each exercise. 15 reps for the first two times (workouts 1 and 2), and 12 sets for the last two (workouts 3 and 4). The next four workouts have you doing 3 sets - 10 reps for workouts 5 and 6, and 8 reps for workouts 7 and 8.) In other words, you'll be doing each workout 8 times (A 8 times and B 8 times), where you will increase the number of sets, and decrease the number of reps (with the correlated increase in weight).

I'm getting this info from pg 140 and 141.

Edited to add: You can probably disregard the above... I looked at the log - it's made for all the workouts in NROLFW. The maximum number of sets you'll perform is 4 in any workout. If you're looking at the NROL log, the maximum number of sets you'll do for an exercise in any of the programs is 6, which is why it has six slots. Were you looking at the NROL log when you should've been looking at the NROLFW log?
