While cutting More reps of lesser weight

[molecule]

I am currently cutting. Somone suggested me that while your are cutting you should go for more reps of comparatively lighter weights. For eg:

If i am doing dumbell chest press of

1st SET = 80 pounds x 15 reps
2nd SET = 100 pounds x 12 reps
3rd SET = 120 pounds x 8 reps

the suggestion is

1st SET = 60 pounds x 15 reps
2nd SET = 80 pounds x 15 reps
3rd SET = 100 pounds x 15 reps

Do you think this works better for cutting?

Personally i like what you're doing now better. You could switch it up and do your heavy sets with lower reps first then lighter weight and more reps later.

with later u mean when?

He means do heavy sets first, then gradually decrease weight and increase reps.

I think you should stick to heavy weights thou to keep as much strength as possible while cutting. Higher reps isn't going to get you cut - your diet is.

Even i was of the same thinking. I always felt that I should not drop on weights. Its just a myth i guess.
