Heavy or light weights first?

Hi,

For the past few months I've got into the swing of working out three times a week again and work out with my friend (whos been working out for much longer and is very built).

On chest/triceps day, for part of my chest routine I do the following for flat bench press:

1. 20kg - 12 reps (warmup, bar only)
2. 30kg - 12 reps
3. 40kg - 12 reps
4. 60kg - 10 reps
5. 80kg - 3 reps
6. 70kg - 5 reps
7. 60kg - 2 sets of 8 reps

Now I do 80 before 70 because I doubt I could ever do even 3 reps if I did 70 first.

I'm cutting at the moment and my main aim is maximum hypertrophy/strength - can anyone suggest what I should do?

i.e. start higher to lower, lower to higher, less sets/reps etc?


Thanks

Alright...

Really I'd just like to retain as much muscle/strength as possible, to clear that up
