If your hitting a wall try doing different excercises that hit the same muscle group. If you do alot of barbell work (flat bench, incline press, shoulder press etc.) switch to dumbell work(flat bench w/ dumbells, flies, etc).
What are your goals?
I know alot of guys at the gym that want to be ripped (and they are) and are not as concerned with strength and performance. Not to say they're not getting stronger it's just not their main focus. These are the guys working with lower weight with higher reps (8-12).
A power lifter doesn't care about the looks end of it as much as getting stronger(and bulkier as a result). They (we) hit the heavy weights for 4-6 reps max for most excercises.
The MAX-OT program will help you make huge gains if you want to get stronger and bigger. It's a long document but worth the read. (You will need to download Adobe Acrobat reader to read this):
MAX OT PDF DOC.I am certainly not the guru of weight traing but this MAX-OT workout helped me personally. There's alot of supplements that he recommends that may be questionable but take it with a grain of salt.
Good Luck
