has anyone ever used "pyramids" in weight training?

Start with a fairly light weight. 12 reps. add 5# 12 reps, continue until failure then work back down to the original weight by 5 # increments.

does this work?
 
That's the most common thing I've seen in the gym personally. People start with a low weight and high reps and work there way up to like a peak of 3 reps or whatever, then work their way back down.

I haven't seen any articles that actually prescribe this method though, so I don't know about it's effectiveness.
