Ok maybe weighted chins was a bad example. Let’s say I’m doing barbell curls

What should my starting weight be? Is the idea to choose a weight that will make you fail in 6-8 reps? And how do I progress?

Sounds like as long as I can do 6-8 reps I should increase by 2.5 the next week. Once I can’t increase I should drop weight and start progressing weekly again by 2.5

For curls

Pick a weight you can do 12-15 times as that is the money range for curls. Keep setting rep records every week with the same weight until you can do both sets for 15 reps. When you can do that, add 2.5lbs. repeat.
