how do you increase weight between sets?

I've been lifting heavy to boost strength and mass following a push/pull/legs routine. I stick mostly with compound movement lifts but just realized that I'm still inking up the weight in the same way I always have. I.E. throw on an extra ten pounds for each set. So basically, in doing three sets of six, I start off heavy (for me anyway) and end heavy with very moderate bumps in between. I'm wondering if I should switch over to a percentages routine and maybe start off lighter but end heavier with larger bumps in my sets. I'll probably need to post more info but I'd appreciate any feedback.
 
Go to t-nation.com and search for Charles Staley article called "From Russia With Love" The first program called The Soviet Peaking Cycle is the best program I have ever used, period. I like the 5x5 and do my own percentage-based programs sometimes, but I used that for a while and my strength went through the roof. You can always count on a minimum of 10lbs added to squat and bench after the 6 weeks unless you are an advanced lifter, ie competing or benching 450+.
