Not paying attention to the reps you have to perform is actually a good way of training to maximal effort, simply because when you set a certain number to get you, you subconsciously want to stop after reaching that number. If you don't plan, you will only want to stop when you can't do anymore. The only thing you have to make sure of is that you use a weight that you can use to get around 6-12 reps in per set to focus on hypertrophy. Also, you say you are adding in isolation exercises for more hypertrophy. You can get plenty of hypertrophy from just compound exercises, but adding isolation exercises won't hurt. Just make sure you do more compound than isolation and you will be fine.
