How about instead of curls do RG Pulldowns or pull ups?? These will work your biceps just as well IMO, and also being more muscles into the movement. I am not really a fan of isolation movements in general to be honest with you. The triceps are fine unless you use a CG for bench, but consider that for the biceps. Also, 3x10 is a good rep scheme, but dont forget to switch it up every once in a while, like go from a high rep (10-12) hypertrophy phase to a lower rep (3-5) strength phase over the course of say 6-10 wks. The 5x5 is also a good program as monsoon said, but if you have recovery issues it could be a problem because it is pretty demanding.
