How often should I vary between hypertrophy, strength, and power sets? For instance, should I do hypertrophy one week, strength the next, and power sets the next? Or, should I just let the changes in weight do that for me and go to failure each time... Similar to a pyramid set? For example:

100lbs x 10 reps
150lbs x 8 reps
180lbs x 3 reps
150lbs x 8 reps
100lbs x 10 reps

and just do that for each exercise?

Thanks.
I'm also interested in the answer to this guy's question^^^

Nice writeup btw..
