Eplanation in weight lifting

Can anyone please tell me what this means
"Barbell curl 12, 10,8,6 reps" example (12 reps at 75lbs, 10 reps at 90lbs, 8 reps at 100lbs and 6 reps at 110lbs)
Does this mean that the less reps that is performed the more the weights being lifted? Or does it mean to maintain the same weight as one is regresses in reps? I know it sounds dumb but I have looked all over here and I see it used a lot but no explanation. My arms are at 15" and I would like to get my arms 18". I would like to gain some lean muscle in my arms.

Thank you in advance guys.
 
From your example I would say:
12 reps @ 75 dropping the reps as you add more weight

or do a warm up, slap on the heavy first and drop set it down. Ex:
After warmup, 110 for 6-8, drop 10% of the weight and with little to no rest do another set of 6-8, drop more weight and continue down.

At 15" I would do more push ups, dips and pull ups then to directly work your arms. They will get mass from these and your shoulder, chest and back workout.

The way he types in one thread and not in another tells me he is a Ponce Troll. He has used some American slang so I doubt he actually writes like he is currently.

Okay... I have read ENOUGH of your useless drivel. because you dont know how to utilize a compound, and enahance an already firm base, does not give you any inkling of a right to come in here, and spew such nonsense. God I HOPE no one takes anything you say very seriously... IE: Don't Eat Turkey. WTF are you talking about?

He is trying to wind us up, I am not going to help his online bravado any longer.
 
Simmer down D, he's playing games. Don't give him anything. What...we...got...here...is failure to communicate.

Thanks for the response
I already do pushups so thats out of the question. So you gave me two examples as to what "Barbell curl 12, 10,8,6 reps" example (12 reps at 75lbs, 10 reps at 90lbs, 8 reps at 100lbs and 6 reps at 110lbs)" means. In you folks opinion which example would help me build mass in chest, arms etc. Would it be to add more weight as I regress in reps or to drop the weight as I regress in reps with little or no rest?

Me I like a 5x5x5 routine. 5 Reps, 5 Sets, 5 Exercises. But that is me... it puts mass on me really fast, and I see my numbers shoot up quickly. Rest is anywhere from 1 - 1.5 minutes.
