using big weights where i can't do more 5 at a time.. it seems to be working.. even before i started doing 5x5 the weights i can bicep curl have gone up and my arms increased in size and definition.
I am currently doing 5 reps of 5 with the view of increasing and it is slowing happening.. as previously i could not bicep curl 40kgs..

Q-F-T.
OP: if you are trying to cut down on fried food and fizzy crud, great. However, why waste all that effort going to the gym if you're just going to fuel your body with turd? Just stop consuming it - easy. If you have a partner that eats the same as you, then why not do them a favour, too?
And - as already alluded to - I think you need to have a think about what you're actually pumping, particularly if you want to lose the tummy and muffin tops. Swap the isolation exercises out for dips, pull-ups, chin-ups, press-ups and you'll do your body more favours than vanity curls/extensions alone.
Regarding the increases, of course that will happen simply because your brain, nerves and muscles are working more efficiently when it comes to contractions. Secondly, any exercise will help (i.e. 5x5 is not going to stop you gaining), but the point being made is that there are better ways to gain faster.
But you need to sort your diet out. As some little dude with a funny voice once said: "Do, or do not. There is no try."
