10/8/6/4/2, This means 5 working sets. Set 1 x 10 reps, set 2 x 8 reps, set 3 x 6 reps and so on. Increasing the weight each set so you are unable to exeed the stated number of reps for each set with good form. This goes for deadlifts and db military press

For bench press you will do 8 sets altogether but remember the first 5 sets are just warm ups and not working sets, the first 5 sets should be easy to perform.

If your triceps fail before your chest the answer is simple....your tri's aren't strong enough, the focus of bench press is on the pecs and tri's are secondary muscle for this movement. Triceps are a big muscle made up of three heads hence the name TRIcep. They should be bigger and stronger than your bicep. Which has two muscles, hence BIcep. Bodybuilding is all about proportion you can't get a huge chest without geting huge tri's, thats a fact.

You can replace leg press with leg extensions if you like.
