That's exactly right. Right now I am in the MS Phase (by Joe Friel). Doing this I do 3-5 sets of 3-6 reps. During this time I do a good bit of weight. However over the next few months the weight will go down and the reps will go up. Eventually I will be doing a pretty low amount of weight but I'll be doing two sets of 40 reps. In the gym I am only concerned about what one person is doing and that's me.
