Now before I get all those "it doesn't matter how much your lifting so don't ask" comments, I have a good reason for asking this. I'm more concerned with how often on the preacher curls you guys find you are able to increase the weight.

I remember 6 or 8 months ago preacher curling the bar (anyone know how much a standard preacher bar weighs?) with 15 pounds on each side. Now I'm curling the bar with 20 - 25 pounds on each side. My arms are growing (got stretch marks to prove it) and my dumbbell curl is increasing, but I've found that the preacher curl is one of those exercises where the amount of weight rarely increases. Any reason why?
