12 week plan changes each week?

What I have done is put in exercises each week that work the parts I need to work and I'm sticking with them until the 8 weeks are over. Is this wrong ? T.I.A

I was wondering that once you change to the new exercise do you start at the next higher weight from the last exercise for that bodypart?
