I'm actually a bit disappointed that my bi curls aren't going up as quick as the rest seem to be, I am doing them on the bench (same position as my chest weights) as it isolates the arms completely I have been told.

At what point do you decide to up weights? When you can do 3 sets of 10?

Generally, of if I feel I could achieve the next set of weights with a reasonable number, i.e. I know i can go higher with my biceps, to 12, even 14, but I won't achieve 12 reps with them, lucky if it will be 6!

I see what yuo mean, but it might still be worth pushing ahead anyway. I usually do 3 sets of 10, but sometimes, if I've done, say 10, 8, 7 . the next session I might go ahead to next weight anyway. Ok, I will lift only something like 7, 5, 5 but it helps push ahead!

I'm in the same position, bicep curls are quite weak cf to other stuff

I wouldn't be worried about it, the other exercises hit quite a lot of muscles, so just learning the skill would see some improvements

If I get in on a weekend I have thrown extra stuff into esp around the arm and lats area as I feel these are what is lacking.

Weight training from yesterday, have to be honest, stopped with the high rep days the last couple of times and just focused on high days, I wonder if this isn't the best thing to do.

well, you were given high rep days by a PT who design a routine to suit the goals you outlined for him, so probably best you stick with what he gave you.
