Complete each exercise following a pyramid rep scheme. 

First set, complete 12 reps, rest 40 seconds, then complete 10 reps with a heavier weight.

After your indicated rest, complete 8 reps with an even heavier weight, rest, then complete 10 reps, using the same weight as you used for the last set of 10. 

Rest, then complete the pyramid by completing 12 reps, with the same weight as you used for the first set.
