sound like a good idea, i like pyramids too
perhaps look into body for life approach or a 5X5
search for stronglifts.com or madcow 5X5
not sure about reverse pyramids, wheteher the extra low weight reps are necessary

I have done 5 X 5. They seem to work great, as long as I keep track of the weight (how heavy, as opposed to the last workout). I think this goes for everything.
I too, have wondered about the last lighter reps on Reverse Pyramids. But I am going to failure on the last set. If the weight is calculated/kept track off you can start off high and heavy (%) of your 1 rep max. Say, first set, 80%, second, 75-70, third, 60%. Some good results can happen. So many different ways, out there.
I don't want to go too heavy, though.
Later I'll post a program by a semi-pro. Only because he adjusts his training by
week. He tries to trick the body from adapting.
