Is it better to go 10-8-6 and add 5 or 10 pounds each time or to go 10-10-10 and stay at the same weight?
 
Well, I guess it depends on your goals. To gain size, a pyramid works better, gradually increasing weight, and decreasing reps, then back again, lower weight higher reps.

But, sometimes to mix things up I will do same weight same reps for an entire workout just to keep the muscles guessing!
 
pyramid all the way. its the best way to gain strength and safestest in my opinion.

LOWER VOLUME TRAINING IS FOR WUSSIES WITH NO HEART!!!
 
I think it depends how long you have been training. If you are a beginner, straight sets are definetly the way to go. If you've been training for a while, pyramid all the way.

I use to pyramid but find it better now to start with a weight I can do 10-12 reps (after warmup) to failure and keep that same weight through my sets.
 
Try experimenting as there is no best way,to each his own.

i agree with mac sloan. there is no right way as long as you feel that the muscle has been worked good and what ever gives you the best gains.
