Elaborate a bit... is that sets, weights, reps, what about time between sets, etc?

Bench press
1. 135 for 12 reps
2. 145 for 10 reps
3. 155 for 8 reps
4. 165 for 6 reps
5. 175 for 4 reps
6. 165 for 6 reps
7. 155 for 8 reps
8. 145 for 10 reps
9. 135 for 12 reps

rest 1-3 minutes between sets

just a quick example

No..
it is allot of volume for one exercise, I would stop 1 or 2 reps short of failure on all sets. You can go to or very near failure on 1 or 2 sets.....mabey the 4 or 6 rep sets

Sounds interesting. I've seen people do this all the way down to one rep max.
