    what is this type of training?

    Hi, i've been working on a different method of training for some of my lifts. I'm not sure what its called, or anything about it other than it seemed like a logical method so i decided to try it out.

    Essentially instead of starting and one weight, and increasing it each set, i do the opposite. I start with the max i can do for 6 - reps, which requires 100% of my strength. The next set, i lower the weight, but because i am now somewhat fatigued from the 1st set, this lowered weight feels the same, and still requires 100% of my strength. The weight lowers for each set in this manner.

    My question is, is this an effective method for muscular hypertrophy? Also, does anyone have any links to information about this? Thanks
