How to determine maximum weights?

If I am planning to determine maximum weights for 15 reps, how many sets do I do for each muscle?

Should I do 2 or 3 and I have to consistently lift that weight? After all, muscles get tired after a set.

Or should I count maximum weights as something that I can lift in 1 set while I didn't have yet the chance to tire the muscle?

Then, if I decide to bench, say, 80 pounds and I feel that it is too light and add more, my muscle is already tired a bit from lifting 1x80 => I wouldn't be able to lift 15x100 afterwards.

Please help! :O)
