    Was some sources there. As far as getting over the plateau you should look to change diet, then try a deload.

    Another options is Ankle weights from Argos, 2.5lbs each. You can wrap one around the bar each side if you wanna move up by 5 lbs, or just wrap one in the middle of the bar if you can only mange 2.5lbs.
