4 x 4 workout

hey guys.. im starting a new routine based on the 4 x 4 idea.
its slightly different though. you do 1 body part a day, 4 different exercises.
the 1st lift: 3 x 4
the 2nd lift: 3 x 8
the 3rd lift: 3 x 12
the 4th lift: 3 x 16
I did chest today, and it really blew me up. the only trouble im having is: the 3rd and 4th lifts should be on a machine (so you dont have to balance and stabilize anymore). and i just cant find a good way to create the routine that way.
any ideas??

wouldn't you want to start with high reps/low weight, and work up to HIGH WEIGHT/low reps?? in order to gain strength of course??
that would make more sense to me... have you tried starting at the 16 reps.. and then going up to the 4 reps to end it?
