You shouldn't be feeling it in your front delts at all unless it is a stretch you are feeling. Drop the weight down, check your form, squeeze your shoulder blades together and down as you lift and focus on usig your back over your arms, work your way up with weight until you find your issue happening again or you fail. Do this in one session though.

curious as to - is it possible to up the weight every week? because i did some maths and in 10 weeks if i keep upping the weight 2.5kg (same amount of reps) i could reach reasonable numbers in 10 weeks.

Should be able to up it every session. Sure you may fail a session every now and then and have to repeat it but for 12 weeks it should be possible. I've done it before so have many others. You keep going until you only progress weekly and then reassess where you are at.

You should be able to up the weight a little every session for quite a while assuming you are eating enough. The stronger you are to start with and the less you are eating, the less time you'll be on linear progression.

I've just moved to twice per week increases, instead of thrice, on the squat at 157.5 kg for 3 x 5. That's about 14 months of training from an empty bar.

Like Dave said, stay on linear progression for as long as you can, it's the fastest strength and size growth you'll ever see.

Okay, so try progress weight every week. And if i progress weight but don't get the right amount of reps next session do i try get those reps? Also, for bb curl and military press i find it hard to increase weight (bb curl has stuck the same)?

BB Curl won't follow linear progression as it will with the big 3 lifts and a couple others. Bi's are a minor muscle group (size wise) and gains from them are going to be slow. Focus on controlled reps with slow negatives that are going to cause microtears which are going to stimulate growth.

Gareer I dont mean to be a bitch but negatives became popular when health spas wanted to reduce noise. Natural rep cadence or explosive.
