Im starting to think my form is off because i been doing 5 reps and 3 sets of 55lb on bicep curls but i am not increasing. and also how do you measure when you need to add more weight or should add more sets or reps or what ever. Like basically whats a good way to tell your ready to bump up the weight. My friend tells me to do 8-12 reps 3 sets, when u hit 12 increase weight. But i thought to increase strength u should go most weight you can low reps high sets..
HELP?

You need to shoot for the absolute limit you can do for ten reps. You can start seeing gains around 4 weeks. Arms need a 24 hr recovery period. Also, any bodybuilder that is successful will tell you diet is 70% of success. You’ve got to have enough protein + nutrients or you will hit a plateau quick.
