Advice on reps

I've only just started back on lifting free-weights after a years break.

I never had a proper plan but would like develop a better routine this time round.

Currently, for example, I would do bicep curls lifting 22 Lbs, and do 2 x 20 reps, 2 x 15 reps, and 2 x 10 reps. The reason the reps diminish after each two sets is because my muscles are already fatiguing.

I'm wondering whether I would be better off doing 10 reps of a lighter weight, or sticking to what I am doing and just aim to increase my capacity over time, before increasing the weight.

Are there any serious flaws to my approach? I have a similar approach when for therest of the exercises I do.

Thanks
 
i suggest something like 4 sets, reps 12,10,8,6, increasing the weight after each set. and then when u can get through the last 6 reps with ease, up the weight by a few pounds
