Or, on a Smith....which I only use for shoulders.
Might be back in D May. Still rehabbing after surgery.

Let me back up a sec. After rereading my own post I think I came off like a douche. Didn't mean to sound like it was a challenge. I completely understand a little grunting and heavy breathing on the last few sets, that is to be expected when pushing yourself. As far as dropping weights, let's just say it's best for everyone that you control them as much as possible.
Take a look at Arnold's Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding if you haven't. It is what I live by. If you've plateaued is only relating to your routine. I don't believe you need incredibly high weight to build muscle, but if you want to be strong, power lifter like, then that's something else.
