either do like bama said and drop back and shoot for rep record or
my preferred method would be to move to a dependent RPT scheme.
so set 1 would turn into your money set and heavy set
1) set 1- 3-6 reps. meaning you start with a weight you can get 3/4 times and stick with that weight until you can get 6 reps with it. this set determines when you move all the sets up 5 lbs
2) set 2- 6-10 reps. we are going to use weight we can do 6 times. we will stay with this weight until you move up in weight on set 1. we try and set rep records every time on this
3) set 3 8-12 reps. again we dont stop at 12 we push until failure on all sets and record for rep records
here is a good write up from martin berkham on RPT

when you get to a point you need a break, simply go back like 6 weeks and set rep records with each weight. sure reps will be higher but they will naturally come back down as you add 5 lbs each time.
last thing you can do, is simply stay at same weight for the 2 week cycles, do the lift with same weight all three times in a two week period trying to get better at form and hitting more reps each time. or stick with the weight until you can get 10 reps.
or just buy some fractional plates off amazon, they arent much.
