I dunno why i just like randomly thought of this. Like say i usually do 3 sets of 10 reps of 20 pounds for dumbbell bicep curls. What if i did like 5 reps of 30 pounds, then 10 reps of 10 pounds, then 5 more reps of 30 pounds, and so on? Just a random idea it probably wouldn't even help. What do you think?

There is nothing wrong with using different rep ranges because each produces different results, but it would be better to spread them out over time such as...
3 sets x 8-12 reps for a few weeks, then 3 sets x 3-5 reps of a heavier weight for a few weeks etc... Not in the same workout, I don't see that it would be of any benefit.

Something you might play around with-
Do a few sets of heavy curls (3-4 reps at that max rep) and then do a nice drop set.
Here's an example from me-
Fixed bar bicep curl-3X3@100 pounds and then I pick up the 70 pound fixed bar and curl till I can curl no more, wait 15 seconds, pick up the 60 pound fixed bar and curl till I can curl no more and continue till I hit the 20 pound fixed bar and I'm done.
