I up the weights when I can finish all my sets with full reps in good form. Which often leads to things like 10-10-6 reps when I start with the higher weights, but I find it more encouraging than staying with a given weight for too long. When it goes like 9-6 and I feel form trouble coming, I reduce the weights for the final set.

Maybe you could do one stamina workout (one set to fail, or sets of 20?) for every two strength workouts? When I manage to go to the gym three times a week, I sometimes do that. (Or do extra heavy, three sets of four. But with overhead, I need a spotter for those.)

30 lbs overhead and biceps curls? Wow!
