Waveloads or Wavereps - mix it up!

I learned this technique off of a blog I follow and when I finally got around to doing it, I discovered how brutal it was.  You can do this with any exercise or group of exercises.

WaveLoading looks like this:
Bench Press
100lbs, 10 reps - rest 2 min
120lbs, 6 reps - rest 2 min
140lbs, 4 reps - rest 2 min

100lbs, 10 reps - rest 2 min
120lbs, 6 reps - rest 2 min
140lbs, 4 reps - rest 2 min
continue if necessary

WaveRepping looks like this (no rest):
Pushups 5
Situps 5
Deadlift 5

Pushups 10
Situps 10
Deadlift 10

Pushups 15
Situps 15
Deadlift 15

Then repeat whole series above, starting with the 5 rep sets.

On Thursday of last week we did:
5-10-15-5-10-15 of the below set of exercises, as a circuit

Sumo Deadlift high pull with 75#
Shoulder-touch Pushups (touch your right shoulder to right hand then left shoulder to left hand, that's "1")
Deadlift wtih curl (using 20# in each hand do a deadlift and curl weights while standing up)
dumbbell bench press with uneven weights (20# and 30#)
bent over dumbbell row
box jump
