Sets/Reps

[CRyan64]

Is doing a set/rep scheme such as this effective?
150lbs for 12 reps,
175lbs for 10 reps,
200lbs for 8 reps,
225lbs for 6 reps.
As in, increasing weight and lowering reps.

I'm sure there's a name for this...but I've been outta the gym for a long time and forget a lotta stuff.

I would prefer:
10 sets of 3 with 230lbs
