I also recommend keeping close track of the rest period between sets. It changes!
Yes, it's the aggression that wipes me out. In the exhaustion tests I did I was in the top set for each, so have ended up doing the following (actuals/minimum):
Week 1 48/45, 54/50, and 64/57
Week 2 68/63, 76/71, and 85/81
Week 3 92/80, 101/100, and 124/120
Week 4 120/120, 140/140, and then failed to get to 160
I then went back to week 3 and found that harder than I did first time round, so my body's getting this week off and then I'll try dipping back into week 3 on Monday.
The most I've managed in one go was 36 :-S
