Lasereth, there are other factors such as volume, frequency, & intensity (cycles); rest & recovery; set strategies; sports nutrition; etc., not to mention that if you aren't also focusing on your back (e.g. rows, lat. pulldowns, pullups/chinups, etc.) and legs (e.g. squats, deadlifts) at the same intensity, that could be holding you back as well. Your ultimate strength limits are dependent on your whole body of musculature as a system.
Congratulations, you've hit a plateau. You might need to try advanced strategies to bust it.
