3 Reps of 15 at a slightly Lighter Weight that after the last rep you can just lift?

There are 2 ways to go about it and every person is different. Some pros prefer a 12-10-8 rep set of 3 for a particular lift while others prefer going real heavy for 6-8 reps. I prefer the 12-10-8 and add weight as I go through them as it allows you to gradually add weight which allows you to be fully warmed up when you do the heaviest last set. Experimenting is the key. After reading an article in Musclemag it said that 8 reps was the preferred number of reps to build muscle.
