The usual method is to start lighter and go heavier. An example is for the bench press you start with 135x10 reps, set 2 is 155x10 reps, set 3 may be 160x10. Of course you can go heavy then lighter. It really depends on what you want to do. I suggest a couple of things. One is do not worry too much about the reps. Try to get to a set number but if you fail do not worry try again next time. I always go heavier and if I fail to reach a set rep range ( like 10), I usually take weight off and do a set at a lighter weight. To really gain strength and mass go heavy on the weights (using good-perfect form). Never never sacrifice form for weight. Try to get what ever reps you want, once you do it is time to add weight.
