do you varry your bench lifts? Ie: close grip, wide grip, decline, incline. How about fly's and weighted pushups? do you include those in your chest routine? You may be increasing weight but the same old muscle is being worked. By adding other moves to target both upper, mid and lower pecs you should see an increase in size.
