ive read that pyramiding upward in weight and downward in reps helps with the strength...alot of power lifters use that style....a freind of mine who was a champion here in hawaii believes that 80 %of your max for high reps gets to your inner tissues as well as outer and therefor builds volume...
Change it up. Keep your body guessing. Bigkev is a major advocate of exactly the opposite, and look at him. He pyramids down...starting at low reps such as 4-6-8-12...Although I believe we convinced him to give his joints a break and try higher reps for the pump.
when pyramiding up i.e. 6/8/10/12 you're supercharging your nervous system with the heavier reps and the following reps will be easier.
charles poliquin is a big advocate of supercharging the nervous system. (1-6 principle)
