Try a small decrease in the weight and see if you can add a rep. If you can add 1 rep then that's a good thing, then next time you can try and put that the weight back on and try to get the same reps. Or you can add another rep, just don't get carried away adding reps until you've got a set of 15 reps lol.

Here's what I mean:

Week 1: Hit 135 for 5 reps
Week 2: Do 130 for 6 reps (using 6 as your target for that set)
Week 3: Try 135 for 6 reps or do 130 for 7 reps
Week 4: 140 for 6 reps or 135 for 7 reps
etc..

Hell, you could even do the first 2 sets at 6 reps and the 3rd set at 7 reps, then the next time do the first set for 6 reps and the last 2 for 7 reps.

As long as you do more than you did the time before you're progressing. It doesn't necessarily have to be week to week either, it could be 2 weeks, a month, just as long as there is an overall improvement.
