You don't always need a heavier barbell to get a better training stimulus.
Progressive overload isn't a one-trick pony. While adding load is great, you can spark serious progress just by changing how you move the weight you already have. By utilizing 1.5 reps, playing with slow and fast tempos, integrating isometric holds, or extending your range of motion, you'll force your muscles to work significantly harder, while keeping your joints happy.
