I agree. And for my weight training days I for each muscle group I do:
12 at a light weight
10 add some weight
8 add some more weight
6 add some more, I usually can't do more than 6 at this weight
Then, I do 12 at the weight that I previously did 8 at, and then switch to a different exercise and do 12 at whatever weight it takes to push myself. If I can't make it to 12, I stick with that weight until I do.
Upper body groups:
Chest
Shoulders
Triceps
Biceps
Lower body groups
I forget the muscle group, but I do leg presses for these
Hamstrings
Calfs
Abs (crunches, decline situps, etc)
