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?

Should I Increase Weight In Bicep Curls?

I’ve been lifting weights for about a month now, and I lift about 20 pound dumbbells, 3 sets of 20 repetitions. I do this, and some more lifting, about once a week because other days i’m exercising on something else…
I’ve never thought about increasing weight until now. Should I increase weight based on the amount of reps I do, or what? How many reps and sets should I do, to gain muscle mass and get biceps stronger? Also, is one time a week for biceps, forearms, and chest all right? Because like I said, i use other days for other exercising and don’t want to overdo the lifting.
