    But in planning on doing 10 sets shouldn't I use a weight which will have me will fail on the 10th rep? or completely fail on the 3rd set on the 10th rep? Or should I try pyramiding them? Can you show me an example?

    This is the mindset you need to get rid of. You are already planning on failing on the 10th rep. I would bet that over 90% of the time you have an 11th and even a 12th rep left in you if you would just try it. But you have predetermined 10 as the number.

    Also, staggering your rep range on your exercises from 6-20 will help out with hitting more mucle fibers.

    So if you do most of the exercise heavy and then on the last exercise you train to failure of 6, would this be optimal for growth?

    and if true what is best to continue growth, add reps then add more weight, or just add weight and keep same reps, or what????
