My body was very tired by the time I got to the curls so left it after I failed on just the second set.

You put in a lot of volume before that 120kg set, so it's a great sign that you were about to move forward. Nice work.

Happy with the PR. I will try to beat it again in a few weeks

Are you doing them with a straight and locked arm, or is your elbow bent a little?

I have my elbow slightly bent, it seems to take all the pressure off my bicep and raise it to shoulder height

Good, just wanted to make sure.

If they keep bothering you try a two handed front plate raise instead. It's a more neutral grip and might feel better.

Workout 3 : Legs + a little shoulders

Squat (4x8)

60kg x8
70kg x8
80kg x8
90kg x6


Assistance:

Notes:
I felt my shoulder workout was weak yesterday so I decided to give them a little more today.
Squats felt heavy today, my lower back felt tight from the deadlifts on tuesday.

All of this is really impressive work but the shoulder presses are darn good I can tell you. Also, I think a 125kg deadlift is possible considering the volume put in before your 120kg success. Anyways, you have loads of time so just continue to be sensible while consistently making progress.
