All the stuff in parentheses are #'s of reps done in a descending pyramid, and the rest are done for 4 sets of 10 or so. I think you can vary it up, too, if you want... I do this with the bench, mostly, w/ a warmup set, then a set of 10, then 8, then 6, then rep out with the weight I used for 10. Stuff like that. In his book there are also lots of explanations about advanced training principles, and how to shock the muscles and add variation through supersets, drop sets, negatives, positives, etc.
