Oh, well again, in utilizing a pyramid you don't go low/high/low. You start low and end high excluding the occational drop set. You're taking the muscle memory too literally. You're muscles will "remember" the heavier weights. Most cases that means the final set.

BTW, pyramids are great for beginners IMO but the more advanced you get, the more you need to stimulate your muscles with the same weights/reps. It's easier to keep track of and keeps the overall volume the exact same.

Example:
3x12
3x10
4x8
5x5
4x6
All the while adding more and more weight while at the same time decreasing rest.
