yah, the same thing does/did happen to me. i just try to keep up a lot of creatine, healthy eating, and protein.
but i still hit plateaus, especially with the most typical exercises (bench, incline, military, decline, squat), but rarely hit plateaus for machines or free weights. so my thinking is often i lay off bench for a week or two and do lots of free weights or machines that i dont usually do; this will often help, but regardless, the amount of weight you put up on the benchmark exercises isnt always the end all be all of your strength
hope that hleps
