I lift 8-10 reps heavy 3 sets and do 2 sets 5-6 reps for final reps. Sets are to my max potential.This helps me keep a very good build and I can have enough energy to do alot of other exercises such as arms or tris after doing my chest or back.
I have seen great results and definition while a bit bulking doing this. I take alot of rest between sets as well. 1.5-2 mins.
Ive been around and Im doing quite well as far as my lifting routine goes. Because I do higher reps doesnt mean its not heavy 
In many ways I have learned to use the same amount of weight as I grow and try to contract my muscles and sqeeze them a bit. Instead of picking up 80 pounds and doing pec flies and not being able to feel it as well in my chest Ill do 70 and make sure I can sqeeze and roll my chest muscles in (cleavage).
I for one am not a big bench presser but I have a large chest and bigger more define arms than guys benching 350. Go figure. They look like shit while I have built what I wanted by taking smart approach to things.

So you are a sculptor of sorts. I can dig that. I was under the same assumption as access until you explained it. I think many were.
