I'm finding on a lot of my isolation movements in particular, it is becoming difficult to progressively overload without sacrificing the quality of reps.
For example, I can do dumbbell bicep curls for about 15 reps at 30lbs with slow, controlled movements, but as soon as I go up to 35lbs I can only hit about 4 reps. Ideally I want to hit failure in the 8-12 rep range but there doesn't seem to be a weight that I'm able to do that at. It's either slow and controlled at 30lbs for higher reps or a lot of swinging at 35lbs for lower reps. I've hit this sort of plateau on a lot of different movements and wondering what suggestions people might have
