what about if i do
set 1= 12-15 reps light weight
set 2= 10-12 reps heavy weight
set 3= 8-10 reps heavyer weight
set 4= 6-8 reps hevyest weight
when i do set 5 its usualy just the same as set 4 (6 to 8 reps) on heavyest weight.

would this be better than im was doing? (i do 4 or 5 difrent exercises like this for each body part)

i usualy do 5 sets on my big muscles i say 4-5 but its usualy 5 unless im extreemly tired i aim for 4 but usualy end up doing 5
so you think i should mabi do 6 or 7 sets per set? also when i say 12-15 reps light weight its usualy just light for the 1st working set to walm up then the rest of the working sets i start i usualy start on just over half of what i can lift an do 12-15 reps then move the weights up and up.

thanks for the help guys im going to move my legs to after my chest like someone said makes sence since somtimes i an a bit stiff after chest and somtimes find it hard doing my shoulders.

and i meen when i say 4 working sets i meen 4 working sets is 4 sets of 4 like this

set 1=10-15 reps light weights
set 2=10-12 reps med weight
set 3=8-10 reps heavy weight
set 4= 6-8 reps heavyest weight i can manage. (does this look ok?)

it seems that you are actually doing two warmup sets and two working sets. I would recommend doing maybe another one or two exercise per muscle (even more so for the larger muscles) if you are to continue working out this way

Its not bad mate. I do something similar but on different days.
Mon: Chest
Tue:Arms
Wed: Rest
Thurs:Back
Fri: Shoulders & Traps
Sat:Legs
Sun:Rest

have been doing this awhile now and am loving it.Seems to be working well for me too.

Do you mean 4-5 working sets of just one exercise per bodypart??if so then I would not think its enough.

I do 3-4 working sets x 3,4 or 5 exercises per bodypart

I would move legs after back or chest, gives your upper body a rest. Especially as your shoulders do alot of work on chest days. Are you doing a hit routine? Lake Yates´s? 4 working sets per bodypart is quite low.
