Like the OP, I always fail on the final set, but select weights where to be fair I could probably hit 9 or 10 reps on the earlier sets.

It all depends on your rep range, if you work in say an 8 rep range then you will find that you may have to drop weight in the latter sets to complete the rep range.....
