The way you ramp up in weight, yes. But 4 exercises with 3+ sets to failure is 12 sets of failure to 1 body part. I don’t know how that’ll work out. If you use one of KingBeef’s routines, you ramp up, and only the LAST set of each exercise is taken to failure.
So for Legs, on BBB you’d just go to failure for 3 sets of Squats, while another routine you may go to failure on one set of Squats, then one set of Leg Press, then one set of Leg Curls. So it differs program to program.
Also while I warm-up with all those sets for Squats, if I was moving on to Leg Press or something different, I’d maybe do 1 or 2 warm-up sets, just because I’m already loose and ready to go from the Squats, if that makes sense.
The first page of this thread KB goes into detail on how to ‘ramp’.
Here’s another article by CT on ramping

Just play around with it, and use your ‘warm-up’ sets as a tool to ‘prepare’ for your main sets. DO what works for you.
