IMHO, Turning your head could certainly cause seriouse damage to multiple parts of your body. Why not just turn your body towards the mirror ( There has to be enough room if you look for it, maybe take a couple of steps back ). I would say I probably pyramid most of my sets, but this is how I started and have never seen a reason to change it as it has worked for me. I think the standard way of thinking is heavy weights-low reps for increased strength. Size gains may be a little trickier to pin point but I like to stay anywheres between 6-12 reps depending on exercise. I put 100% faith in my body telling me when I'm done and when I've got to do that one last rep even if it's one or two over my pre-set number.
